CodeQL

Lists code scanning alerts for the default branch for all eligible repositories in an organization. Eligible repositories are repositories that are owned by organizations that you own or for which you are a security manager. For more information, see "<a href="https://docs.github.com/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/managing-security-managers-in-your-organization">Managing security managers in your organization</a>."
To use this endpoint, you must be an owner or security manager for the organization, and you must use an access token with the <code>repo</code> scope or <code>security_events</code> scope.
For public repositories, you may instead use the <code>public_repo</code> scope.
GitHub Apps must have the <code>security_events</code> read permission to use this endpoint.

The organization name. The name is not case sensitive.

The name of a code scanning tool. Only results by this tool will be listed. You can specify the tool by using either <code>tool_name</code> or <code>tool_guid</code>, but not both.

tool_name

The name of the tool used to generate the code scanning analysis.

The GUID of a code scanning tool. Only results by this tool will be listed. Note that some code scanning tools may not include a GUID in their analysis data. You can specify the tool by using either <code>tool_guid</code> or <code>tool_name</code>, but not both.
