GitHub CLI from GitHub Actions workflow

Question

According to GitHub Docs, one can use GitHub CLI commands in a workflow.

I am trying to programmatically update the description of the repository from a workflow in that repository, and the only solution I found was using the GitHub CLI:

name: update repo 
on: push
jobs:
  update:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions: write-all
    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout repository'
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: 'Update repository description'
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: gh repo edit --description "test"

but even with permissions: write-all, I still get the error:

HTTP 403: Resource not accessible by integration
