What it does
Permission Pilot summarizes Android application permissions, including requested and granted states, with filtering, change reporting and export options.
Permission Pilot is useful when the question is which apps request a particular permission. Its README describes both app-centered and permission-centered views, along with change reports and exports. Use the overview to choose what deserves review, then make changes in Android's appropriate settings page. The project explicitly says third-party apps cannot change permissions directly on a non-rooted device. A requested permission also needs context; it is not proof that the app used the associated data.
