gitea.cli.actions.runner.registration_token

registration_token

Get the token a new Actions runner joins a scope with.

Registering a runner is not something this API does: the token is what act_runner register is then given, and the runner joins over the Actions protocol. So the sequence is to take a token here, register the machine out of band, and then list what appeared.

The token belongs to the scope rather than to one runner - every runner registered with it lands in that scope - and it is a credential: anything holding it can attach a machine that will execute the scope's jobs. It is printed, so redirect it rather than leaving it in a shell history or a CI log.
