[safe-output-health] Safe Output Health Report - 2026-05-05

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary

• Period: 2026-05-04 to 2026-05-05 (Last 24 hours)
• Runs Analyzed: 59
• Workflows Active: ~26 distinct workflows
• Engines Used: Claude (7), Copilot (18), Codex (1), and others
• Safe Output Jobs Executed: 1
• Safe Output Jobs Failed: 0 ✅
• Safe Output Items Created: 1 (discussion [daily-firewall-report] Daily Firewall Report - 2026-05-05 #30261)
• Error Clusters Identified: 0

Overall safe output health is excellent. Only 1 safe output job ran in the last 24 hours, and it succeeded without errors. 58 of 59 runs were read-only (agents either called noop or did not trigger write-capable safe outputs).

---

Safe Output Job Statistics

Job Type	Total Executions	Failures	Success Rate
create_discussion	1	0	100%
upload_asset	2	0	100%
create_issue	0	0	N/A
create_pull_request	0	0	N/A
noop	11 (agent calls)	0	100%

Note on agent-level tool calls vs. downstream jobs: Agents called create_discussion 11 times, create_issue 7 times, and create_pull_request 5 times at the MCP server level. However, only 1 run had a downstream safe output job that executed (the Daily Firewall Logs Collector). This is expected — many of those agent calls were from runs where the detection job blocked write-capable outputs, or the agent explicitly called noop for the final result.

Root Cause Analysis

API-Related Issues

None detected.

Data Validation Issues

None detected.

Permission Issues

None detected. The one safe output job that ran had correct permissions (Discussions: write).

Other Issues

None detected.

Out-of-Scope Issues (Context Only)

The following issues were observed in the 24-hour period but are NOT safe output job failures and are therefore outside the scope of this audit:

1. Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer (§25358514852) — Agent job failed with APM action failed: apm unpack failed for bundle 1 of 1. This is an APM (Actions Package Manager) infrastructure issue, not a safe output problem. No safe output job ran for this workflow.

2. Documentation Noob Tester — High firewall block pressure: 158 blocked requests out of 220 total (72% block rate). This is a network/firewall configuration issue, not a safe output issue.

---

Recommendations

No critical issues or bug fixes are required for safe output jobs at this time. All executed safe output jobs completed successfully.

Process Improvements (Low Priority)

1. Investigate high noop rate

   • Observation: 58 of 59 runs were read-only; 11 explicit noop calls were made.
   • Current State: Most agents that call safe output tools at the MCP level end up calling noop or being suppressed.
   • Proposed: Review whether workflows that consistently call create_discussion at agent level but never produce items should reduce unnecessary MCP tool calls.
   • Benefits: Reduced agent token usage and cleaner observability data.

2. Establish baseline for safe output job execution rate

   • Observation: This is the first run of the Safe Output Health Monitor.
   • Proposed: Use this report as the baseline. Future audits track whether 1 per 59 runs is consistent.
   • Benefits: Enables trend detection for regressions in safe output job health.

Work Item Plans

No work items required for immediate action.

Monitoring Improvement: Establish Safe Output Trend Baseline

• Type: Enhancement (already complete)
• Priority: Low
• Description: Cache memory initialized with today's data as the baseline.
• Acceptance Criteria:
  • Cache memory initialized at /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/safe-output-health/
  • Today's audit data stored in 2026-05-05.json
  • Error pattern database initialized
• Estimated Effort: Small (done)

---

Historical Context

This is the first run of the Safe Output Health Monitor. No previous audit data was available for comparison. Baseline established today.

Metrics and KPIs

• Overall Safe Output Success Rate: 100% (1/1 executed jobs succeeded)
• Most Reliable Job Type: create_discussion (100% success rate)
• Most Problematic Job Type: None identified
• Write-Capable Run Rate: 1.7% (1 of 59 runs)

---

Next Steps

• Cache memory initialized for future trend comparisons
• Monitor Documentation Noob Tester firewall block rate (out of scope — separate issue)
• Review Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer APM failure (out of scope — separate issue)
• Run next daily audit to begin building trend data
