Examples of using the `GITHUB_TOKEN` include passing the token as an input to an action, or using it to make an authenticated {% data variables.product.github %} API request. > [!IMPORTANT] -> An action can access the `GITHUB_TOKEN` through the `github.token` context even if the workflow does not explicitly pass the `GITHUB_TOKEN` to the action. As a good security practice, you should always make sure that actions only have the minimum access they require by limiting the permissions granted to the `GITHUB_TOKEN`.
