Before you use it
This is setup guidance. It does not inspect your GitHub account or token, verify your settings, or guarantee that an agent is secure. Confirm current requirements in the linked GitHub docs.
One permission for each job.
Agent tasks and Agent variables are GitHub features with their own uses. They are not required by the actions in this planner. GitHub Actions access is not required to let CI run on a pull request. Choose “Read CI check results” only when the agent needs to fetch GitHub’s result itself.
