DeepReport Intelligence Briefing - February 3, 2026

[github-actions[bot]]

🔍 Executive Summary

Repository activity remains strong with heavy automation and consistent report cadence. New daily Copilot token tracking shows 158.7M tokens across 500 runs (56 workflows), with spend concentrated in a few high-volume workflows and several extreme per-run outliers. Copilot session insights show low completion (16%) and a large log visibility gap (56% missing logs), limiting diagnostics and masking root causes.

Operationally, workflow lockfiles remain highly standardized (149 lockfiles, most 50-100 KB) and GitHub MCP tools are generally efficient, but list_code_scanning_alerts remains prohibitively large (~95K tokens). Remote MCP auth-test failures continue to reflect tool loading rather than authentication issues. Weekly issues show high closure velocity (454 closed vs 46 open) with a small unlabeled open tail.

📊 Pattern Analysis

Positive patterns

• Lockfile standardization persists with stable size/structure and strong least-privilege permissions adoption.
• Efficient GitHub MCP tools (repos/list_branches/get_commit/list_tags) consistently provide high signal-to-noise responses.

Concerning patterns

• Copilot sessions skew toward action_required and skipped; completion remains low, and 56% of sessions have no analyzable logs.
• MCP list_code_scanning_alerts responses are too large for practical agent use.
• Remote GitHub MCP auth-test reports continue to indicate toolset loading failures.

Emerging patterns

• Daily token tracking is now live (first day), enabling tighter optimization focus on top token spenders and per-run outliers.

📈 Trend Intelligence

• Token usage: 158.7M tokens over 30 days (down from 187.4M on 2026-01-26), but cost concentration remains strong in top workflows.
• Copilot sessions: completion rate down to 16% (from 20% on 2026-01-26) with a persistent log availability gap.
• Lockfiles: count increased to 149 (from 139 on 2026-01-26), maintaining tight size distribution.
• Issues (last 7 days dataset): 500 total, 46 open / 454 closed; 56 unlabeled overall, 1 open unlabeled.

🚨 Notable Findings

• Log visibility gap: 56% of Copilot sessions lack analyzable logs, blocking diagnosis and optimization.
• Security Guard Agent failures: 100% failure rate with consistent short-duration runs suggests a systemic configuration issue.
• MCP response bloat: list_code_scanning_alerts at ~95K tokens remains a critical usability blocker.
• Workflow redundancy risk: Weekly workflow analysis highlights large action_required clusters for PR review bots on a single PR, suggesting potential consolidation.

🔮 Predictions and Recommendations

• Expect token optimization efforts to shift toward a small set of high-volume workflows and per-run outliers (Test YAML Import, Test Dispatcher, Issue Monster, Agent Persona Explorer).
• If log coverage is fixed, completion rate and diagnostic precision should rise quickly.
• MCP tooling should prioritize response-shaping for code scanning to unlock automated security workflows.

✅ Actionable Agentic Tasks (Quick Wins)

Three issues were created from this analysis:

1. Fix Security Guard Agent early-failure pattern.
2. Improve Copilot session log coverage (missing logs in 56% of sessions).
3. Reduce MCP list_code_scanning_alerts response bloat.
