+### `permission-<permission name>`
+
+**Optional:** The permissions to grant to the token. By default, the token inherits all of the installation's permissions. We recommend to explicitly list the permissions that are required for a use case. This follows GitHub's own recommendation to [control permissions of `GITHUB_TOKEN` in workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/controlling-permissions-for-github_token). The documentation also lists all available permissions, just prefix the permission key with `permission-` (e.g., `pull-requests` → `permission-pull-requests`).
+
+The reason we define one `permision-<permission name>` input per permission is to benefit from type intelligence and input validation built into GitHub's action runner.

 > [!NOTE]
 > Installation permissions can differ from the app's permissions they belong to. Installation permissions are set when an app is installed on an account. When the app adds more permissions after the installation, an account administrator will have to approve the new permissions before they are set on the installation.
