By default the `GITHUB_TOKEN` is given the required permissions to make the API requests made by this action. If you set explicit permissions on your token, however, the default permissions do not apply. If you run the action without the appropriate permissions, you will see an error message saying: "Error: Resource not accessible by integration" This patch updates the README to explain that, if you are using explicit permissions, you must specify the `actions:read` permission for the action to work correctly.
