[observability] Observability Coverage Report - 2026-08-13

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary

I analyzed 18 completed workflow runs from the last 7 days, selected from a 30-run repository-wide fetch and capped for breadth across workflows. 15 runs entered the firewall-enabled agent runtime and 15 runs used the MCP gateway; all of those runs had the required primary observability artifacts present.

No critical observability gaps were found in the sampled agent-started runs: every firewall-enabled run had a discoverable access.log, and every MCP-enabled run had MCP telemetry via rpc-messages.jsonl. The main issues are quality-related rather than missing-data related: the sample did not exercise any denied firewall requests, and all MCP telemetry came from the JSON-RPC fallback rather than the richer gateway.jsonl format, which limits latency analysis.

Three failed runs never entered the agent runtime (Turns=0, no awf-config.json, no firewall or MCP artifacts), so they are classified as N/A rather than missing observability. Additional telemetry coverage was otherwise strong: agent-stdio.log was present in 15/18 analyzed runs, safeoutputs.jsonl in 14/18, and awf-config.json in 15/18.

Key Alerts and Anomalies

No critical issues detected.

Warning

The firewall sample captured 3188 allowed requests and 0 denied requests across 3188 access.log entries. Coverage for allow-path debugging is complete, but deny-path observability was not exercised in this sample.

Warning

All MCP-enabled runs relied on rpc-messages.jsonl; no sampled run emitted gateway.jsonl. The fallback logs were parseable and sufficient for server/tool/error counts, but they did not support reliable response-time pairing in this sample.

Missing MCP Telemetry (no gateway.jsonl or rpc-messages.jsonl)

None in the analyzed MCP-enabled run set.

🔍 Telemetry Quality Analysis

Firewall Log Quality

• Total access.log entries analyzed: 3188
• Concrete domains accessed: 7 unique
• Blocked requests: 0 (0.0%)
• Most accessed domains: api.anthropic.com:443, api.githubcopilot.com:443, o205451.ingest.us.sentry.io:443, otlp-gateway-prod-eu-west-2.grafana.net:443, host.docker.internal:443

Gateway Log Quality

• Telemetry source: rpc-messages.jsonl in all MCP-enabled sampled runs; gateway.jsonl was not observed
• Total entries analyzed: 178
• MCP servers used: safeoutputs (15), github (4), agenticworkflows (2)
• Total tool calls: 64
• Error rate: 0.0%
• Average response time: N/A in this sample because outbound fallback records did not consistently carry pairable request IDs

Additional Telemetry

• agent-stdio.log: present in 15/18 analyzed runs, matching every agent-started run
• safeoutputs.jsonl: present in 14/18 analyzed runs; absent in one agent-started failed run and in the three zero-turn failures
• awf-config.json: present in 15/18 analyzed runs, and absent only in the three zero-turn failures

Healthy Runs Summary

• Required firewall/MCP observability coverage was complete in 18/18 analyzed runs.
• No sampled agent-started run was missing both firewall and MCP telemetry.

Recommended Actions

1. Emit gateway.jsonl alongside the JSON-RPC fallback so per-server latency and status metrics are available without request/response reconstruction.
2. Add a lightweight scheduled deny-path probe that intentionally triggers one blocked egress request, so TCP_DENIED logging is continuously verified.
3. Ensure early agent failures still write safeoutputs.jsonl and minimal runtime metadata when the agent starts but exits before completion.

📊 Historical Trends

This run analyzed a single 7-day sample window and did not load prior daily observability reports, so no longitudinal trendline is included here.
