Description

Right now if a PAT doesn't have the right permissions, some of the API calls will just crash and spit out a stack trace.

Would probably be a nicer experience if the tooling started by explicitly validating the PAT(s) had the necessary permissions, and giving user-friendly error messages if they didn't.
