Explanation

The GitHub Code Scanning REST API includes a GET endpoint to retrieve a single alert by its number (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/code-scanning/alerts/{alert_number}) and a PATCH endpoint to update alert properties including severity (PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/code-scanning/alerts/{alert_number}). There is no API endpoint to 'delete all open alerts' (alerts cannot be bulk-deleted) and no endpoint named specifically 'list alerts for the default branch' - the list endpoint covers all branches with optional filtering.
