Set the default workflow permissions

Set default_workflow_permissions to read, write (refused where the workspace's maximum is read) or inherit (back to the workspace's default, or write for a repository made before restricted tokens), and can_approve_pull_request_reviews, "Allow g1t Actions to create and approve pull requests" (refused where the workspace does not allow it).

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

Authentication: Required. Send an access token as Authorization: Bearer.
MCP tool: workflow with action set_permissions, and the same inputs
Scope: An access token needs repo:admin.

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like {"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}. See errors.

Status	Code	When
401	`unauthenticated`	A token is required, or the one sent is not valid.
403	`forbidden`	The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository.
404	`not_found`	It does not exist, or you cannot see it.
409	`conflict`	The request conflicts with the current state.
422	`invalid`	The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why.
