Access to the GitHub Models toolset now officially requires the models:read permission for fine-grained Personal Access Tokens (PATs) and GitHub Apps.

This change follows a previous warning in March. If your tokens or apps don’t include this permission, requests to the playground will now return an Unauthorized response.

Please make sure your fine-grained PATs and GitHub Apps are updated to include models:read to avoid disruption. Coarse-grained tokens are unaffected and will continue to work without changes.
