Ability to download backups without requiring a token with write permissions

I want to automate downloading the most recent continuous backup snapshot to a local machine nightly. The guys on your intercom help chat were pretty helpful in pointing me at `delivery.url` here: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/restore-jobs-create-one/ But I was surprised that in order to download a backup, I need to use a token with write permission. It would be great for security reasons if the machine I use to download backups could do so without needing to have a write token.
