When you configure the workflow, "Respect Permission" should be set to "Yes". Otherwise it will not check the field level permissions.

Go to "Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structures" -> Find the workflow -> Configure "Respect Permission" to "Yes".

After that, for the initiated workflow, "getWorkflowPendingData" will respect the field level permission of the API user.

If API user does not have permissions for specific fields, those fields should not appear in the API response.
