Yea hence it prompts for you to check the first time but once you verify the hash for particular version of action, it would automatically apply the hash to that same version of action everywhere. Also you can reuse the same config for all other repos so it is only tedious the first time but after that it is pretty quick to apply to the rest of the org :)

The tool is indeed meant for semi-auto flow to ensure human eye looked at the action being used.
