write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
create_projectwrite actionAdd a repository as a PreviewDrop project. GitHub (default) needs the GitHub App installed on the repo owner's account — if not, use get_github_app_install_url first. GitLab and Bitbucket need the provider connected once in the dashboard under Settings → Integrations.
deploywrite actionTrigger a new preview deployment for a project
