Using exclude_pull_requests in "List workflow runs for a repository" API endpoint

Body

Hello,

I'm probably missing something, but according to the documentation of the "list workflow runs for a repository" API endpoint (see https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflow-runs?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-workflow-runs-for-a-repository), the exclude_pull_requests parameter can be used to omit pull requests from the response. However, this parameter seems to have no effect in practice. Consider the two following API calls, the first one without the parameter, the second one with:

https://api.github.com/repos/pandas-dev/pandas/actions/runs
https://api.github.com/repos/pandas-dev/pandas/actions/runs?exclude_pull_requests=true

They both return the same number of items (see the total_count field) and runs triggered by pull requests.

Did I miss something? Is my understanding/use of this parameter correct?

Could there be a bug in the GitHub API that causes the exclude_pull_requests parameter to be ignored?

Could be ;) Is there an appropriate place to report this potential bug to GitHub?
