Review permission scope — GitHub Actions GITHUB_TOKEN, PAT/GitLab token scopes, cloud IAM policies, MCP/tool allowlists, service accounts, and delegated agent authority — and flag over-broad grants, suggesting least-privilege alternatives.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Least Privilege Review Review the **permission scope** declared across a change — GitHub Actions `GITHUB_TOKEN` blocks, personal-access / GitLab token scopes, cloud IAM policy JSON, MCP or tool allowlists, service-account roles, and delegated agent authority — and flag any grant **broader than the stated task needs**, suggesting a tighter least-privilege replacement. > **This skill is self-limiting.** It flags over-broad scope and suggests > least-privilege alternatives; it does **not** grant, apply, or provision any > permission. Control authority lives in the > [agentic-coding-playbook](https://github.com/GSA-TTS/agentic-coding-playbook) > `SECURITY-CONTROLS.md`; this skill defers to it and cites NIST AC-6 rather than > restating the control text. ## When to Use - Reviewing a workflow that sets `permissions:` on `GITHUB_TOKEN` (or omits it) - Reviewing a PAT / GitLab token, deploy key, or fine-grained token before it is minted or used in CI - Reviewing cloud IAM policy JSON, a service-account role, or a Terraform grant - Reviewing an MCP server config or agent tool allowlist for excess authority - Before delegating authority to an agent or automated job …

How to install
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/least-privilege-review@sha256:f170582b1d6cb0eeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
