This context also automatically shares the `sys.ls`, `sys.read`, and `sys.write` tools with the tool that is using it as a context. This is because if a tool intends to interact with the workspace, it minimally needs these tools.

### I'm hitting GitHub's rate limit for unauthenticated requests when using GPTScript.

By default, GPTScript makes unauthenticated requests to GitHub when pulling tools. Since GitHub's rate limits for unauthenticated requests are fairly low, running into them when developing with GPTScript is a common issue. To avoid this, you can get GPTScript to make authenticated requests -- which have higher rate limits -- by setting the `GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable to your github account's PAT (Personal Access Token).
If you're already authenticated with the `gh` CLI, you can use its token by running:

```bash
export GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"
```
