[aw] Copilot CLI Deep Research Agent exceeded tool denial limit

[github-actions]

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Copilot CLI Deep Research Agent
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/27457409699

Warning

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

Last denied request

shell(# Check what's new in CHANGELOG recently (last ~100 lines covers recent changes)
tail -200 /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null | head -200

# Check current version
grep -m1 "## \[" /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null | head -5)

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 copilot-cli-deep-research stopped because the Copilot SDK exceeded its tool denial threshold (5/5).

# Check current version

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