[aw] Daily SPDD Spec Planner exceeded tool denial limit #39120

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Daily SPDD Spec Planner
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/27472157373

Warning

Excessive Tool Denials: The Copilot SDK hit the max tool denial guardrail and stopped the session early (5/5).

Last denied request
shell(sed -n '2622,2665p' /tmp/copilot-tool-output-1781367607364-n6i7de.txt)

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 daily-spdd-spec-planner stopped because the Copilot SDK exceeded its tool denial threshold (5/5).
Last denied request:
shell(sed -n '2622,2665p' /tmp/copilot-tool-output-1781367607364-n6i7de.txt)

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