Workflow logs include a link to the preinstalled tools on the exact runner. To find this information in the workflow log, expand the `Set up job` section. Under that section, expand the `Virtual Environment` section. The link following `Included Software` will tell you the the preinstalled tools on the runner that ran the workflow.
