Potential fix for https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-python/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the problem while following the principle of least privilege, explicitly add a
permissionsblock to the workflow. Since this workflow only needs to check out code (i.e., read repository contents) and does not interact with pull requests, issues, or other write scopes, setting the permissions at the root level tocontents: readwill suffice. This can be safely placed at the top of the workflow after thenameand beforeon:(or directly afteron:), or, if preferred, at the job level, but the root is the most maintainable for this simple case. No new methods, imports, or definitions are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
