Workflow Failure

Workflow: Code Scanning Fixer
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/32226487341

Warning

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

Last denied request

shell(cd /tmp/gh-aw/agent && mv redirect_test.go redirect_check.go && go run redirect_check.go && rm redirect_check.go)

Last 5 tool calls

• bash(ls /usr/local/go*/bin 2>/dev/null; which -a go; ls ~/go/pkg/mod/golang.org/toolchain@* 2>/dev/null; cat /home/runner/...)
• bash(cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && export PATH=/opt/hostedtoolcache/go/1.26.6/x64/bin:$PATH && go build ./pkg/cli/.....)

• bash(cd /tmp/gh-aw/agent && mv redirect_test.go redirect_check.go && go run redirect_check.go && rm redirect_check.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(cd /tmp/gh-aw/agent && mv redirect_test.go redirect_check.go && go run redirect_check.go && rm redirect_check.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 (20 minutes).

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

---
timeout-minutes: 30

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 code-scanning-fixer failure in https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/32226487341

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
