Document public GitHub repos as workflow context

[mintlify]

Summary

Workflows now accept any public GitHub repository as a context repository, even if it isn't connected to the organization. Users can paste a GitHub URL or owner/repo value, and Mintlify validates that the repository exists and is public before adding it. This lets prompts reference open-source libraries, SDKs, or external documentation alongside connected repos.

Changes

• Expanded the Context repositories section in agent/workflows.mdx to distinguish between connected repos and public GitHub repos, including input formats and a security warning about prompt injection.
• Added a changelog entry under the April 24, 2026 update and updated the RSS title.

PR context

Triggered by merge of the feature PR to main that introduced public context repos in workflows. Public GitLab repos are not supported and are called out explicitly.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only change that clarifies supported workflow context repository types and adds a caution about untrusted public repo content; no product logic is modified.

Overview
Updates agent/workflows.mdx to explicitly document two workflow context repository options: connected repos (via Mintlify GitHub App/GitLab OAuth) and public GitHub repos (accepted via owner/repo or full GitHub URL, with validation that the repo is public).

Adds a Warning callout highlighting prompt-injection/poisoned-context risk when using public repositories as workflow context.
