Documentation changes
Add an explicit
permissionsblock to.github/workflows/check-links.ymlso the workflow does not inherit potentially broad default token rights.Best fix (minimal and least-privilege): add at the workflow root (after
on:and beforejobs:):permissions:contents: readThis is sufficient for
actions/checkoutand for running the link checker, and keeps behavior unchanged while ensuring the token is restricted. No imports, methods, or dependency changes are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
Note
Low Risk
CI-only hardening that restricts the workflow token; no application or runtime behavior changes.
Overview
Resolves the code scanning alert “Workflow does not contain permissions” by declaring an explicit least-privilege token scope on the Check links pull-request workflow.
Adds a root-level
permissionsblock withcontents: read, so the job no longer relies on broader defaultGITHUB_TOKENrights while still allowingactions/checkoutand the Mintlify broken-link check to run unchanged.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 46df48e.
