At https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows we are building a knowledge-base (KB) of GITHUB_TOKEN permissions needed by different GitHub Actions. When developers try to set minimum token permissions for their workflows, they can use this knowledge-base instead of trying to research permissions needed by each GitHub Action they use.
Below you can see the KB of your GITHUB Action.

If you think this information is not accurate, or if in the future your GitHub Action starts using a different set of permissions, please create an issue at https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows/issues to let us know.
This issue is automatically created by our analysis bot, feel free to close after reading :)
Setting minimum token permissions is also checked for by Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Scorecards. Scorecards recommend using https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows so developers can fix this issue in an easier manner.
