Get the default workflow permissions

What a job's G1T_TOKEN (GITHUB_TOKEN) may do when its workflow and job write no permissions:: default_workflow_permissions is read (contents and packages read) or write (every permission).

GET/repos/{owner}/{name}/actions/permissions/workflow

Unless the repository chose (default_chosen), a repository made before restricted tokens has write and a newer one its workspace’s default; it is never more than the workspace’s max_workflow_permissions. can_approve_pull_request_reviews says whether its jobs may open and approve pull requests (off unless chosen, and only where the workspace allows it). Needs the Read role.

Authentication: Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
MCP tool: workflow with action get_permissions, and the same inputs
Scope: An access token needs repo:read.
