+All three — `list_branches`, `create_branch`, `delete_branch` — require `write:repository`. Gitea
+gates reads behind write scope for repo-scoped operations, so `list_branches` needs the same scope
+as the write operations, not `write:issue` alone. An earlier version of this doc claimed

 ## Token scope

-empirically against the deployed server.
+Both tools are believed to require `write:repository`, even though they're read-only — inferred by
+analogy with the scope-gating principle in `overview.md` (Gitea gates reads behind write scope for
+repo-scoped operations), not a claim `overview.md` makes for commits by name: its explicit
+`write:repository` enumeration lists PR, branch, file, release, and tag operations, but doesn't
+mention commits. An earlier version of this doc claimed `write:issue` alone worked, based on
+empirical testing under a token that held both `write:issue` and `write:repository`
+simultaneously — that test didn't isolate the variable either. Treat this as unverified until
+tested under a token scoped to `write:issue` only (no `write:repository`).
