[github-actions[bot]]

Audit Summary

• Period: Last 24 hours (2026-02-28 → 2026-03-01)
• Runs Analyzed: 34 completed runs
• Workflows Active: 28 distinct workflows observed
• Success Rate: 67.6% (23/34)
• Issues Found: 2 (1 critical, 1 informational)
• Workflow Run: §22536998665

Workflow Health by Engine

The chart reveals a stark contrast between engines. Codex has an 11% success rate (1/9 runs) due to a recurring cyber_policy_violation error, while Claude (100%), Gemini (100%), and unknown-engine workflows (100%) performed flawlessly. Copilot maintained an 80% success rate with 3 failures in the Issue Monster workflow.

Token Usage & Cost

The Changeset Generator is a significant outlier, consuming 90.2M tokens (82% of the day's total of 110.2M). The Daily Documentation Updater had the highest dollar cost at $2.30. Total estimated cost for the period: $7.79.

🚨 Critical Issue: Codex cyber_policy_violation

7 of 8 codex failures were caused by the OpenAI API returning cyber_policy_violation:

"This user's access to gpt-5.3-codex has been temporarily limited for potentially suspicious activity related to cybersecurity."

Workflow	Run	Status
Smoke Codex	§22532798975	❌ cyber_policy
Smoke Codex	§22535676663	❌ cyber_policy
Duplicate Code Detector	§22535531694	❌ cyber_policy
AI Moderator	§22535800475	❌ cyber_policy
AI Moderator	§22536664571	❌ cyber_policy
AI Moderator	§22536848182	❌ cyber_policy
AI Moderator	§22536850829	❌ cyber_policy

The AI Moderator's 4 consecutive failures suggest persistent policy blocking throughout the day. These workflows involve security analysis tasks (moderation, duplicate detection, smoke testing) which may have triggered OpenAI's cybersecurity safeguards.

Missing Tools

Tool Name	Request Count	Workflows Affected	Reason
GitHub MCP tools (list_issues, get_repository)	1	GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test	MCP toolsets unavailable in runner — tools not loaded

This was the expected behavior for the Remote MCP Authentication Test (it tests whether remote MCP is available), and the workflow still succeeded overall by reporting the missing tool via missing_tool safeoutput.

Error Analysis

View All 11 Failed Workflows

Codex Engine Failures (8 runs, 89% failure rate)

1. ❌ Smoke Codex — cyber_policy_violation on gpt-5.3-codex
2. ❌ Daily Issues Report Generator — No agent log (likely config/startup failure)
3. ❌ Duplicate Code Detector — cyber_policy_violation
4. ❌ Smoke Codex (2nd run) — cyber_policy_violation
5. ❌ AI Moderator (x4 runs) — All cyber_policy_violation

Copilot Engine Failures (3 runs)

6-8. ❌ Issue Monster (x3 runs) — Agent job step failed with exit code 1; 0 tokens consumed (possibly skipped due to skip-if-match conditions or configuration error at agent startup)

Firewall Analysis

Firewall blocks were widespread (expected behavior for domain allow-listing):

• Total blocked events: ~540+ across all runs
• All blocked requests were legitimate network attempts to domains outside the allow-list

Notable blocked domains (non-routine):

Domain	Blocked Requests	Affected Workflows
proxy.golang.org:443	28	jsweep JavaScript Unbloater
storage.googleapis.com:443	3	GPL Dependency Cleaner
github.com:443	3	Changeset Generator
codeload.github.com:443	1	Changeset Generator

The jsweep workflow is attempting Go proxy downloads that are outside its firewall allow-list. The Changeset Generator is trying to reach github.com and codeload.github.com directly.

Performance Metrics

• Total Token Usage: 110,150,381 tokens
• Total Estimated Cost: $7.79
• Highest Token Consumer: Changeset Generator (90.2M — outlier, 82% of day's total)
• Highest Dollar Cost: Daily Documentation Updater ($2.30)
• Codex success rate: 11% (1/9) — severely impacted by cyber_policy_violation
• Copilot success rate: 80% (12/15)
• Claude success rate: 100% (2/2)

Recommendations

1. Investigate Codex cyber_policy_violation — The AI Moderator, Smoke Codex, and Duplicate Code Detector all failed with this error. Review the prompts/instructions for these workflows to ensure they don't trigger OpenAI's cybersecurity policy restrictions. The AI Moderator's security-related name and tasks may be a contributing factor.

2. Review Issue Monster failures — 3 consecutive failures with 0 tokens consumed suggests an infrastructure/configuration problem rather than a logic error. Check the workflow's skip-if-no-match / skip-if-match conditions and agent startup.

3. Add proxy.golang.org to jsweep's allowed domains — jsweep is a JavaScript workflow but is triggering Go proxy access. Investigate whether this is an unintended dependency or misconfiguration.

4. Investigate Changeset Generator token spike — 90.2M tokens is 82% of the day's total. This warrants investigation to understand if this is expected behavior or runaway processing.

5. Monitor Codex policy violations — If this pattern persists, consider temporarily disabling codex-engine workflows or switching them to alternative engines.
