GitHub Actions official documentation reusable workflows secrets inherit GITHUB_TOKEN secrets context workflow_call

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, reusable workflows do not automatically receive secrets from the calling workflow. You must explicitly pass them or use the inheritance mechanism [1][2][3]. Regarding the inheritance and use of secrets: 1. secrets: inherit: The secrets: inherit keyword allows a calling workflow to pass all of its available secrets (including organization, repository, and environment secrets) to a directly called reusable workflow [4][5][6]. This is intended for use when the calling and called workflows are within the same organization or enterprise boundary [2]. 2. GITHUB_TOKEN: The GITHUB_TOKEN is a special, automatically generated token created for every workflow job [7][8]. Because it is generated per job, it is not passed as a standard "secret" via secrets: inherit [1]. Instead, the GITHUB_TOKEN exists within the context of the running job. A reusable workflow has its own GITHUB_TOKEN [9]. 3. Permissions for GITHUB_TOKEN: The permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN in a reusable workflow are restricted by the calling workflow's job-level permissions block [9]. If your reusable workflow requires specific write access (e.g., to create a release or push code), you must ensure that the job calling the reusable workflow has the necessary permissions defined [9]. 4. Security Considerations: Using secrets: inherit is a convenient but broad approach that may violate the principle of least privilege by exposing all available repository secrets to the called workflow [10]. It is recommended to use explicit secret mapping (listing specific secrets under the secrets key) when you want to limit the secrets available to a reusable workflow, especially when calling workflows from less trusted sources or external repositories [10][1][3]. In summary, while secrets: inherit passes standard repository and environment secrets, the GITHUB_TOKEN is governed by the permissions set on the calling job and is available to the reusable workflow by default within its own scope, provided the calling job's permissions are sufficient [7][9].

Replace secrets: inherit with an explicit mapping.

The reusable workflow reads only the optional HYPATIA_SCAN_PAT; its job receives its own automatic GITHUB_TOKEN. Declare HYPATIA_SCAN_PAT under workflow_call.secrets, then pass only that secret.

In @.github/workflows/hypatia-scan.yml at line 43, Update the reusable
workflow’s workflow_call secrets declaration to explicitly define the optional
HYPATIA_SCAN_PAT secret, and replace secrets: inherit with a mapping that passes
only HYPATIA_SCAN_PAT to the called workflow; retain reliance on the job’s
automatic GITHUB_TOKEN.
