with GitHub Actions
Works with AI assistants
Use GitHub Actions: its GitHub Actions Permissions API lets you view default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions for a repo in a single step (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/permissions/workflow). GitHub Actions also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
- Does the GITHUB_TOKEN in my repository's workflows get read-only or read-write access by default?
- Are workflows in this repo allowed to approve pull request reviews?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Show the default GITHUB_TOKEN workflow permissions for {owner}/{repo}.
- Check if workflows in {owner}/{repo} can approve pull requests.
