It’s hard to say for sure without seeing your workflow, but the message sounds like there’s no repo-token when you call the action. The documentation gives this example:

    - uses: actions/labeler@main
      with:
        repo-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

So if you want to use a secret named LABEL, you’d have to do this:

    - uses: actions/labeler@main
      with:
        repo-token: "${{ secrets.LABEL }}"

That LABEL would have to be a PAT with appropriate rights, though in most cases the GITHUB_TOKEN should work.

Ah, I see the problem. A workflow that’s triggered by a pull_request event from a fork won’t be able to access secrets other than the GITHUB_TOKEN, see Using encrypted secrets in a workflow.

The first thing I’d try it to check if it works with GITHUB_TOKEN. If not and you really need a PAT you could use the pull_request_target event instead of pull_request.

You don’t need to create the GITHUB_TOKEN. Github provides it automatically when a workflow is started, I assume that’s why the name isn’t available for your own secret. You just have to use the token, see Authentication in a workflow. That page actually has an example using actions/labeler, maybe that’ll work for you?

Edit: That page also explicitly states that the GITHUB_TOKEN created for a pull_request event from a fork will only be able to read issues. I assume that’s why the example in the actions/labeler Readme also uses pull_request_target.
