[aw] Code Scanning Fixer timed out

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Code Scanning Fixer
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/33061435240

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 commit -m "Fix js/http-to-file-access: re-validate PDF signature immediately before write" scripts/ensure-docs-slide-pdf.js)

Last 5 tool calls

bash(cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw && git commit -m "Fix js/http-to-file-access: re-validate PDF signature immediately ...)

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 commit -m "Fix js/http-to-file-access: re-validate PDF signature immediately before write" scripts/ensure-docs-slide-pdf.js)

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.
