Description
GitHub Actions provides various contexts, such as github, job, runner, which can be accessed from various places in a workflow. Is it possible to access these contexts with this toolkit too?
From what I have seen, only a part of the github context can be accessed through the github.context object in the @actions/github package. However, this is not exactly identical to the github context, and also all the other contexts, as listed here, don't seem to be accessible.

Research direction
Read the linked GitHub Actions context reference and the @actions/github package, starting with the existing github.context object. Compare the listed contexts with what the toolkit exposes; completion should establish the supported scope and how the requested contexts are accessed, with no test named in the issue.
