# Automate GitHub Issue and Pull Request Triage in FastAPI with Atlas in 2026 > Atlas provides a first-class GitHub entrypoint to automate issue and pull request triage for FastAPI projects, ensuring responses are safe and only from trusted users. Atlas automates GitHub issue and pull request triage for FastAPI developers by integrating directly into GitHub Actions, ensuring safe, permission-gated responses using your existing `pyproject.toml` and `main.py` setup, and leveraging `pytest (httpx AsyncClient)` for validation, `uv` for package management, and `ruff format` for code style. ## Key takeaways - Atlas integrates `atlas github` directly into GitHub Actions for FastAPI issue and pull request triage. - Permission checks ensure only trusted users with `admin` or `write` access trigger Atlas in FastAPI workflows. - Atlas deeply understands FastAPI's Pydantic models, `APIRouter` includes, and `Depends()` for precise code edits. - `pytest (httpx AsyncClient)` is used by Atlas to validate FastAPI changes, with iteration on failures. - All Atlas changes in FastAPI projects are presented as unified diffs for explicit developer approval. - `uv` manages packages and `ruff format` ensures code style, integrated into Atlas's FastAPI toolchain. ## How Atlas Automates GitHub Triage for FastAPI Workflows Atlas automates GitHub issue and pull request triage for FastAPI projects by integrating directly into GitHub Actions, requiring specific inputs like `MODEL` in `provider/model` form. This ensures that by 2026, your FastAPI application's `pyproject.toml` and `main.py` are managed with precision, refusing to run if inputs are incorrect. To automate GitHub issue and pull request triage in a FastAPI project, Atlas leverages a dedicated `atlas github` command designed for GitHub Actions. This command is robustly engineered to validate its inputs upfront, rejecting any run where the `MODEL` is not provided in the expected `provider/model` format. Furthermore, for event types that require a prompt, Atlas explicitly checks for the `PROMPT` input, failing with a clear 'PROMPT input is required for events' message if it's missing. This strict input validation ensures that your FastAPI project's automated responses are always powered by the correct AI model and context, preventing misconfigurations before any processing begins. Atlas operates within the context of your FastAPI project, understanding its structure from `pyproject.toml` and `main.py`. ## Ensuring Secure GitHub Triage for FastAPI Projects with Atlas Permissions Atlas enforces strict security for GitHub issue and pull request triage in FastAPI projects, checking the triggering actor's collaborator permission for admin or write access before any action. This prevents unauthorized runs, ensuring only trusted users can initiate AI responses in your 2026 FastAPI codebase, and requiring a specific mention to trigger. Security is paramount when automating responses in a FastAPI project's GitHub repository. Atlas implements a critical permission-gating mechanism: it verifies the triggering actor's collaborator permission, refusing to execute if the user lacks `admin` or `write` access. This ensures that only trusted team members can invoke the automated triage process. Beyond permission checks, Atlas also enforces that comments must explicitly mention the configured trigger to initiate a run, preventing stray comments from accidentally starting an AI agent. In scenarios where the context for an issue or pull request becomes too large, Atlas explicitly catches `ContextOverflowError` by name and re-throws it as a user-friendly 'prompt-too-large' message, listing the offending files. This explicit handling prevents silent failures and guides developers in managing the input size for their FastAPI-related tasks. ## Atlas's Deep Integration with FastAPI Code and `pytest` Testing Atlas deeply understands FastAPI projects, reading Pydantic v2 models, `APIRouter` includes, and every `Depends()` in your path operations. It can add a `response_model` to endpoints, preventing data leaks, and by 2026, it writes `httpx AsyncClient` tests for `pytest` behind a permission prompt, ensuring robust validation. Atlas is designed to be intimately familiar with the FastAPI ecosystem. It intelligently parses your project's structure, understanding Pydantic v2 models as the contract for your API, recognizing `APIRouter` includes, and tracing every `Depends()` in your path operations. This deep understanding allows Atlas to perform targeted and accurate code modifications. For instance, it can identify endpoints that might be leaking fields from ORM objects and proactively suggest adding a `response_model` to your FastAPI path operations, ensuring your API contracts are strictly adhered to. for testing, Atlas can write `httpx AsyncClient` tests, which are the standard for asynchronous FastAPI applications, and then run `pytest` behind a permission prompt. If tests fail, Atlas iterates on these failures, proposing fixes. After any code changes, Atlas computes a unified diff for every file edit, such as those in `main.py` or `pyproject.toml`, and surfaces it for your approval before writing. Finally, it ensures code quality by running `ruff format` and `ruff check --fix` after approval. ## Reviewing and Approving Atlas Changes in FastAPI Projects Atlas prioritizes safety and transparency in FastAPI development, drafting a plan in a read-only agent and asking for approval before switching to a build agent. Every file edit generates a unified diff for review, ensuring you have full control over changes to your `main.py` or `pyproject.toml` in 2026, with local embedding options. The Atlas workflow for FastAPI projects is built around a core principle of human oversight and approval. Before making any modifications, Atlas drafts a comprehensive plan in a read-only plan agent. This plan is then presented to the developer for review and explicit approval. Only after approval does Atlas switch to a build agent to execute the proposed changes. For every file edit, whether it's modifying a Pydantic model in a `models.py` file or adjusting a path operation in `main.py`, Atlas computes a unified diff and surfaces it for approval. This allows FastAPI developers to meticulously review every proposed change before it's written to disk. Atlas also snapshots file changes as git patches, enabling easy diffing and rollback if needed. For enhanced privacy and control, Atlas can build its code index using local Ollama embeddings, keeping your FastAPI codebase off third-party servers. This combination of explicit approval, detailed diffs, and local processing ensures that Atlas acts as a safe and trusted partner in your FastAPI development workflow. ## Steps 1. Ensure your FastAPI project has a `pyproject.toml` and a `main.py` that instantiates FastAPI, ready for Atlas to index. 2. Wire the `atlas github` command into your GitHub workflow, setting the `MODEL` input in `provider/model` form (e.g., `ollama/llama3`) and providing the `PROMPT` input for required event types. 3. Configure your GitHub workflow to restrict triggers, as Atlas checks the actor's collaborator permission and refuses anyone without `admin` or `write` access. 4. Trigger Atlas by ensuring comments mention the configured trigger, as the handler enforces this to prevent accidental runs. 5. Let Atlas read your FastAPI project's Pydantic v2 models, `APIRouter` includes, and every `Depends()` in your path operations to understand the codebase. 6. Review Atlas's proposed changes, such as adding a `response_model` to an endpoint, presented as a unified diff, and approve the edits. 7. Allow Atlas to write `httpx AsyncClient` tests for your FastAPI endpoints and run `pytest` behind a permission prompt, iterating on any failures. 8. Approve the final diff after Atlas has iterated on tests, then let Atlas run `ruff format` and `ruff check --fix` to ensure code style compliance. ## FAQ ### How does Atlas ensure security for GitHub triage in FastAPI projects?
