What Chrome asks you to allow
When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:
- Read and change your data on a number of websites
- Display notifications
- Read your browsing history
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.

Specific sites only: 12 match patterns.

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.
What it may ask for later
Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse.

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.
