Set a workspace's default workflow permissions

Change a workspace's default_workflow_permissions, max_workflow_permissions and can_approve_pull_request_reviews; fields left out stay as they are.

PUT/workspaces/{workspace}/actions/permissions/workflow

A maximum of read makes the default read too. Owners only.

A maximum of read holds every repository’s default to read-only, and makes the workspace’s default read too.

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

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.
