[aw] Daily Safe Output Integrator exceeded tool denial limit

[github-actions]

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Daily Safe Output Integrator
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/28259715324

Warning

Excessive Tool Denials: The Copilot SDK hit the max tool denial guardrail and stopped the session early (5/5).

This is a structured guardrail event (guard.tool_denials_exceeded) captured in events.jsonl.

How to fix this

The prompt attempted actions outside the workflow's allowed tools.

Update the workflow prompt and/or permissions so required actions are permitted:

The workflow daily-safe-output-integrator stopped because the Copilot SDK exceeded its tool denial threshold (5/5).

Please update the workflow so the prompt only uses tools permitted by the workflow tool policy.

Action Required

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.

Optimize token consumption

This failure was triggered by a guardrail limit (max-tool-denials). Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to analyze token usage and reduce costs:

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 skill from .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md or https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/.github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md
• Type debug the agentic workflow daily-safe-output-integrator failure in https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/28259715324

Tip

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

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

Status Update — 2026-06-27T05:43Z

Still failing. Run §28259715324 failed Jun 26 19:11 UTC — this is the 6th+ consecutive daily failure (Jun 22–26).

No sign of recovery. The tool denial pattern continues at 25–26 min runtime.

Priority: P1 — persistent daily failure.
Action: Root cause investigation needed into why the tool denial limit is consistently hit. The workflow may need its tool usage budget adjusted or the underlying tool calls refactored to avoid exceeding the limit.
