- Max Results — Maximum number of results to return; defaults to 10 (the UI documents a range of 1–100).
- Search Type — Select repositories, issues, code, or users; defaults to repositories.
- Sort By — Sort results by best match (default), stars, forks, or updated.
- Return as Single Item — When enabled, wraps the results in one item with operation, totalResults, and results fields; otherwise emits one item per result.
