Description
If this action is in a workflow triggered by workflow_call:, it does not have access to secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN like it should... I believe this is because you are using it as an env variable rather than just a parameter to pass into your action.
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
Make a repo with this action in a workflow_call:
Reference that action with uses in an action from a different repo (same org/account)
Witness error.
It should run as defined by GitHub

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with this action in a workflow triggered by workflow_call, referenced from a workflow in another repository in the same organization. Inspect how the action receives secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and verify the workflow completes with the token available as GitHub defines; done means the shared-workflow scenario runs without the reported error.
