github_actions

github_actions is a cursor rule for Cursor from Edison-Watch/Custom-MCPs. It costs 0 tokens per session (111 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of github_actions, MIT.

A rule for using GitHub Actions’ built-in GITHUB_TOKEN in workflows. GitHub Actions is GitHub’s system for running automated jobs such as tests or deployments.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing GitHub Actions workflows that need repository access, while reserving a minimally scoped personal token for exceptional cases.
Why use it?
It avoids using a broader personal access token when the workflow only needs access to its current repository, reducing unnecessary permissions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

github_actions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to github_actions — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

GitHub Actions doesn’t provide a default personal access token (PAT). Instead, it creates a built-in token called secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN for each workflow run. This token is provided by github, and ends with the job or after 24 hrs, and the scope is limited to the current repository.

Use this in writing Github actions, unless you absolutely need some special privilages. (In which case set some minimal permission secrets.GH_PAT)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
