 A GitHub action to automatically close a pull request.
 
+Note that only pull requests being opened from the same repository can be closed. This action will not currently work for pull requests from forks -- like is common in open source projects -- because the token for forked pull request workflows does not have write permissions.
+
 ## Usage
 
 This Action subscribes to `pull_request` events. When receiving a `pull_request` event, this action closes the pull request triggered by the event immediately.
