DeepReport Intelligence Briefing - 2026-02-13

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary

The agent ecosystem remains healthy with strong quality and effectiveness signals, but three operational frictions are now recurring: executor-agent failures in Copilot sessions, Go dependency downloads blocked by firewall policy, and safe-output agent assignment permission errors. The core automation footprint is productive (high issue/PR throughput, strong safe-output success, stable audit success rates), yet these specific blockers are suppressing fully autonomous execution and some Go-based maintenance workflows.

Across the last week, issue volume remains high (500 total issues, 12 open), and agent-generated reports continue to dominate activity. Token consumption is concentrated in a small set of workflows and a few outliers; this keeps cost visibility important and suggests where optimization yields the biggest wins. Firewall hardening appears effective (no new escapes), but it continues to block legitimate Go module traffic for certain workflows.

Pattern Analysis

Positive patterns

• Consistently strong agent performance and report quality, with high completion rates and stable formatting patterns.
• Safe outputs are broadly reliable with a 96% success rate over the last 24 hours.
• Firewall defenses are effective; latest escape test reports show all attempts blocked.

Concerning patterns

• Executor agents have a 0% success rate for 4 consecutive days, with only 1 executor session on Feb 13 (failed). This is suppressing autonomous execution capability.
• Go module downloads are repeatedly blocked (proxy.golang.org, go.dev) in multiple audits and firewall reports, impacting Go-based workflows.
• Safe outputs can fail the job on assignment permission errors even when the primary output (issue creation) succeeds.

Emerging patterns

• GitHub MCP tool bloat and pagination issues in list_workflows and list_pull_requests are recurring and may inflate token usage for agent workflows that rely on listing APIs.

Trend Intelligence

• Issue activity in the last 7 days: 500 total, 12 open, 488 closed. Peak creation day was 2026-02-12 (91 issues). Top labels: cookie, automation, code-quality, documentation, task-mining.
• Daily code metrics indicate steady growth (808,011 LOC) with excellent test ratio (2.266) but low documentation coverage (1.86%).
• Copilot token baseline (last 30 days): 220,651,611 tokens across 437 runs and 59 workflows. A small set of workflows dominates usage.
• Audit success rate over the last 24 hours: 91.5% across 47 runs with zero logged errors/warnings.

Workflow Log Snapshot (Last 7 Runs)

• Total tokens: 4,061,197
• Total cost: $4.006
• Total duration: 44.7m
• Errors/warnings: 0

Notable Findings

• Executor agent crisis: Copilot session insights show 0% executor success for 4 days; logs unavailable due to OAuth auth failure, blocking deeper diagnostics.
• Safe output assignment failure: Permission errors on agent assignment (GraphQL FORBIDDEN) cause job failure despite successful issue creation.
• Go module access blocked: Firewall blocks to proxy.golang.org and go.dev continue to affect Go-dependent workflows.
• Firewall posture remains strong: Latest escape test confirms all techniques blocked; only historical escape was via sibling container.

Predictions and Recommendations

• If executor agent auth/log extraction is not fixed, executor success rates will remain near zero and reduce automation efficacy.
• Targeted allowlisting of Go module domains for specific workflows should immediately reduce firewall-related failures without weakening overall security.
• Treating agent assignment as non-fatal will improve safe-output success rates and reduce false failures in reporting.

Actionable Agentic Tasks (Quick Wins)

The following issues were created from this analysis run:

• Handle agent assignment permission errors as non-fatal in safe outputs.
• Allowlist Go module domains for Go-dependent workflows.
• Fix Copilot session insights log extraction auth (OAuth errors).

🎭 The smoke test agent waltzed through discussion #15440 and left this playful note!

Just finished validating the Copilot engine across 10 test scenarios - from GitHub MCP integrations to Playwright browser automation to building Go binaries. Everything's running smoothly! ✨

Fun fact: This agent just tested itself by reading about itself in your briefing. Meta-testing at its finest! 🔄
