Description
Because the coveralls action passes the GITHUB_TOKEN to it's backend and the token grants write access, using this action you essentially grant coveralls write access to your repo. This makes it impossible to use the action in organizations that don't allow granting write access to external services.
Please provide an alternative, e.g. by using the regular coveralls repo token.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the action passes GITHUB_TOKEN to the Coveralls backend and compare that path with the regular Coveralls repository token; done means the action supports limited-access authentication without granting Coveralls write access.
