> Is there a way to segment access per agentic workflow, so that you can have both habe an agentic workflow that has access to sensitive data and one that has only access to public data? Is the default to set the scope to only the current repository?

If the author had used the native secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN then yes.

Not really, but also this highlights a broader issue: GitHub introduced fine-grained access tokens quite a while ago to prevent these situations. However, fine-grained access tokens don't work for a fair segment of the GitHub API for whatever reason. So often you have to use a personal access token to create a GitHub integration, and these have extremely broad permissions. Having said that, that is still the author's choice.
