[aw] Code Scanning Fixer timed out #58992

Description

@github-actions

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Code Scanning Fixer
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/34034494868

Warning

Excessive Tool Denials: The Copilot SDK hit the max tool denial guardrail and stopped the session early (3/3).

Last denied request
shell(git diff pkg/workflow/mcp_setup_generator.go)
Last 5 tool calls
  • bash(cd /workspace && grep -rl "toolsWithEnclaveGitHubIssues" pkg/workflow/*_test.go)
  • bash(cd /workspace && go test ./pkg/workflow/... -run TestEnclave -v 2>&1 | tail -60)
  • read_bash
  • bash(cd /workspace && git status --short && git diff --binary --no-ext-diff | wc -c)
  • bash(cd /workspace && git diff pkg/workflow/mcp_setup_generator.go)

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 code-scanning-fixer stopped because the Copilot SDK exceeded its tool denial threshold (3/3).
Last denied request:
shell(git diff pkg/workflow/mcp_setup_generator.go)

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

Agent Timed Out: The agent job exceeded the maximum allowed execution time (40 minutes).

To increase the timeout, add or update the timeout-minutes setting in your workflow's frontmatter:

---
timeout-minutes: 50
---

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:

Optimize the agentic workflow token consumption using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/optimize.md

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/34034494868
Manually invoke the agent

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:

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