Workflow: Test Quality Sentinel
Branch: copilot/add-yaml-json-schemas
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/38062199351
Pull Request: #67439

Warning

Task Could Not Be Completed: The workflow recorded a report_incomplete signal: the task was not completed or completion could not be confirmed. See the reported reason and diagnostics below.

safeoutputs MCP gateway registered 0 tools during setup; the agent could not emit any safe outputs. This is a gateway infrastructure failure, not a normal no-op. Check the MCP gateway startup logs for ECONNRESET errors or delayed backend registration and re-run the workflow.

This is a structured incompletion signal (report_incomplete), not confirmation of a completed task. Do not treat accompanying safe outputs (e.g., comments) as evidence that the requested review or action was completed.

Action Required

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/38062199351
Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the agentic-workflows prompt.

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:
