Where the workflow shifted

GitHub Marketplace serves developers and teams evaluating apps before installation, which makes permissions, billing, support, and workflow fit part of the page promise.

Developer AI tool pages should explain which repositories or organizations are connected, what actions can run, how access can be revoked, and how output quality is checked.

Tool names are not outcomes

The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.

Check permissions and failure

  • Add a pre-install checklist covering permissions, events, logs, rollback, and support
  • Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production

What still needs proof

Unclear permissions and rollback paths slow trial adoption. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
