[aw] Daily MCP Tool Concurrency Analysis failed

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Daily MCP Tool Concurrency Analysis
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/23841684641

⚠️ No Safe Outputs Generated: The agent job succeeded but did not produce any safe outputs.

This typically indicates:

• The safe output server failed to run
• The prompt failed to generate any meaningful result
• The agent should have called noop to explicitly indicate no action was taken

Action Required

Assign this issue to Copilot using the agentic-workflows sub-agent to automatically debug and fix the workflow failure.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/23841684641

Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the agentic-workflows prompt.

• Start your agent
• Load the agentic-workflows prompt from .github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md or https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/.github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md
• Type debug the agentic workflow daily-mcp-concurrency-analysis failure in https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/23841684641

Tip

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false

Root Cause

The workflow failed with "No Safe Outputs Generated" because the agent ran for 39 minutes (near the 45-minute timeout), causing the safe-outputs MCP session to expire before noop could be called.

The underlying trigger: jq and git log were not in the bash allowlist, but the workflow prompt explicitly uses both. Without them, the agent wasted ~12 extra turns trying workarounds — going from 8 turns (baseline) to 20 turns.

Evidence from the agent log:

✗ cat .../safe_outputs_tools.json | jq -r '.[].name' | sort
  └ Permission denied and could not request permission from user
...
✗ noop
  └ MCP server 'safeoutputs': Error: session not found

Fix

A PR has been opened adding jq and git log to the bash allowlist, which should bring the run back to ~8 turns and well within the session timeout window.

/q review the gateway log for the session not found issue in the safe output MCP server

✗ noop
└ MCP server 'safeoutputs': Error: session not found

This should not happen!
