• Read and change all your data on all websites
• Manage your downloads

Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

What it can reach

Specific sites only: 1 match pattern.

• https://meet.google.com/* only meet.google.com

Reaches your browsing data or every site

• Capture the contents of a tab tabCapture

• Manage your downloads downloads

Routine for an extension

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 1 site pattern.

A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.

Has it asked for more over time?

This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
