[aw] Delight timed out

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Delight
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/32741761003

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 checkout -- pkg/workflow/mcp_scripts_dependencies_validation.go && git status --porcelain)

Last 5 tool calls

bash(grep -n "invalid dependency name\|newInvalidDependencyNameError" /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/pkg/workflow/*_test.go)
bash(find / -maxdepth 3 -iname "*.cache" 2>/dev/null; ls -la /home/runner/go/pkg/mod/cache/download/github.com/segmentio 2...)
bash(cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && git diff --stat)
bash(cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && git status --porcelain pkg/workflow/mcp_scripts_dependencies_validation.go 2>&1; ...)
bash(cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && git checkout -- pkg/workflow/mcp_scripts_dependencies_validation.go && git status...)

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 delight stopped because the Copilot SDK exceeded its tool denial threshold (3/3).
Last denied request:
shell(git checkout -- pkg/workflow/mcp_scripts_dependencies_validation.go && git status --porcelain)

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 (30 minutes).

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

---
timeout-minutes: 40

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

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
