Description
The Lockfile Statistics Analysis found 189 workflows hold job-level discussions: write permission, but only 91 workflows actually call create_discussion as a safe output. This is a ~2x gap between granted and used permission for this specific scope, worth a least-privilege spot-check.
Expected Impact
Reduces unnecessary write-permission surface area across ~98 workflows that may not need discussions: write, tightening the fleet's security posture.
Suggested Agent
New Agent — cross-reference each of the 189 workflows' actual safe-outputs config against its granted discussions: write permission and file a follow-up removing the grant where genuinely unused.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours)
