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.
