Description
I couldn't find if there is an API for this, but it would be useful if you could call other Github actions within a javascript workflow. E.g. running actions/checkout or actions/setup-python. Some of the actions are javascript so in principle they could be reused if an interface is provided, but trying to navigate through actions/checkout, it doesn't seem straightforward.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the toolkit's existing APIs and the way JavaScript workflows invoke GitHub Actions; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Define the supported interface and its limitations, then verify that workflows can invoke actions such as actions/checkout and actions/setup-python as described.
