How do you set the message the Authorization Services displays on OS X?

In case you're not familiar with Authorization Services, I'm talking about this window:

Authorization Services window

At the top, in bolded text, is the line "GitHub is trying to install a new helper tool." Some applications, like Xcode, can change that message to other text to do other things. How do they do that? How does Authorization Services know you're installing a helper tool?

Any help would be appreciated.

The messages displayed in an authorization dialog are defined in the configuration file /etc/authorization, and is chosen based on what rights are being requested.
