[aw] Daily Agent of the Day Blog Writer is missing required tool #44055

Description

@github-actions

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Daily Agent of the Day Blog Writer
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/28877020742

Warning

Repeated Permission Denied: The agent was denied permission to run 1 command(s) and stopped retrying.

Denied Commands:

  • shell(# Let's audit the most recent successful run of the agentic-token-audit workflow | shell(# Check the run's logs more carefully
How to fix this

The agent ran in non-interactive mode (--no-ask-user) and could not request permission at runtime.

To resolve repeated permission denied errors, update the workflow prompt to avoid these commands or use approved alternatives. Use the following prompt with any coding agent:

The agentic workflow daily-agent-of-the-day-blog-writer encountered repeated permission denied errors for these commands:
`shell(# Let's audit the most recent successful run of the agentic-token-audit workflow | shell(# Check the run's logs more carefully`

Please update the workflow prompt so the agent:
1. Uses built-in tools (GitHub API, file read/write) instead of the denied shell commands
2. Or achieves the same goal through alternative approaches that do not require shell permission

Warning

Engine Failure: The copilot engine terminated unexpectedly.
