Documentation missing list of available tools for --allowed-tools configuration

[akostibas]

Problem

The configuration documentation mentions the --allowed-tools parameter but doesn't list what tools are actually available to specify. This makes it difficult for users to configure the action properly.

The current docs show example usage like:

claude_args: |
  --allowedTools "Bash(git:*),Edit,Read"

But users have no reference for what other tools exist beyond the ones shown in examples.

Suggested Solution

Add a section to the configuration documentation that lists all available built-in tools:

File Operations:

• Edit - Edit files
• Read - Read files
• Write - Write files
• Glob - File pattern matching
• Grep - Content search

Execution:

• Bash - Execute shell commands (requires pattern specification, e.g., Bash(git:*) or Bash(npm install))

Web:

• WebFetch - Fetch web content
• WebSearch - Search the web

Other:

• NotebookRead / NotebookEdit - Work with Jupyter notebooks
• MultiEdit - Batch file edits

Note: MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools follow the pattern mcp__<server>__<tool_name>

Additional Context

This information is available in the Claude Code CLI reference, but users configuring the GitHub Action shouldn't need to hunt through separate documentation to find what tools they can configure.

Also worth clarifying the distinction between:

• --allowedTools - Tools that execute without prompting for permission
• --tools - Restricts which tools are available at all
