Google Cloud Build unable to deploy only hosting

[polds]

I am trying to use Google Cloud Build to execute firebase deploy --only=hosting and am getting the below error.

I am presently pinned to a slightly older version 12.1.0 but am still encountering this error.

⚠  Authenticating with `--token` is deprecated and will be removed in a future major version of `firebase-tools`. Instead, use a service account key with `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started
⚠  Unable to fetch the CLI MOTD and remote config.
