A developer discovered a subtle bug in their tool's documentation where the promised GitHub API sorting options did not align with the actual API's capabilities. The tool's docstring claimed support for sorting by 'stars' and 'forks', but the GitHub REST API endpoint used only accepted 'created', 'updated', 'pushed', and 'full_name' for user repositories. This discrepancy led to the API silently ignoring the invalid sort parameters and defaulting to its own order, creating a misleading success state for the tool. The developer fixed this by implementing client-side sorting for 'stars' and 'forks' after fetching the data, ensuring the tool's behavior now matches its documentation. AI
