Invalid permissions when accessing commit statuses with GraphQL API

Body

Hey,

I am trying to get the build status of the pull request by accessing StatusCheckRollup from the last commit using GraphQL API. I'm accessing the API by authenticating with the GitHub App on behalf of a user by following these steps. I'm getting an error "Resource not accessible by integration" when Commit statuses GitHub App permission is granted. However, when Contents permission is granted, the error is gone.

Is it expected that the Contents permission is required to get the commit status? Shouldn't Commit statuses permission be enough to access commit statuses? See the code sample below.

fragment PullRequestData on PullRequest {
  commits(last: 1) {
    nodes {
      commit {
        statusCheckRollup {
          state
        }
      }	
    }
  }
}

query openPullRequests{ 
  pullRequests: search(query: "is:pr is:open repo:test-buzz/test-repo", type: ISSUE, first: 100) {
   edges {
     node {
      ...PullRequestData
    }
   } 
  }
}
