🔍 Agentic Workflow Audit Report - November 5, 2025

This audit analyzed workflow runs from the last 24 hours (November 4-5, 2025) to identify issues, patterns, and opportunities for improvement across all agentic workflows in this repository.

Executive Summary

Over the past 24 hours, 84 workflow runs were executed across multiple workflows with a 71.05% success rate. While the success rate is above the 70% baseline target, there are notable patterns of failures in smoke test workflows and some scheduled jobs that warrant investigation.

Key Highlights:

• ✅ 54 successful runs
• ❌ 17 failed runs
• ⏳ 8 runs in progress
• 📊 71.05% success rate (above 70% target)
• 🔧 No missing tools reported
• 🔌 No MCP server failures detected

📈 Workflow Health Trends

Success/Failure Patterns

The trend chart shows workflow health over the past 30 days with actual data from November 1-5. The success rate has been hovering around 70-75%, which meets our target threshold. However, the consistent presence of failures indicates areas for improvement, particularly in the smoke test suite.

Token Usage & Costs

Token usage and cost estimates show stable daily consumption patterns with occasional peaks during high-activity periods. The 7-day moving average helps identify trends and anomalies in resource consumption.

Critical Issues

1. Smoke Test Failures 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY

Affected Workflows:

• Smoke Codex: §19021760404, §19034058199
• Smoke Claude: §19049252838, §19053349172
• Smoke Copilot: §19049252894

Pattern Detected: The Smoke Codex workflow is experiencing TOML parse errors:

• Error message: TOML parse error at line 30, column 109/199
• This suggests a configuration or test data issue that needs to be fixed

Recommendation:

1. Review the TOML configuration files used in smoke tests
2. Validate TOML syntax at line 30
3. Consider adding TOML linting to pre-commit hooks

2. Duplicate Code Detector - 100% Failure Rate 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY

Affected Runs:

• §19049194965

Status: 2 out of 2 runs failed (100% failure rate in the 24h period)

Recommendation:

1. Investigate why this workflow is consistently failing
2. Check if this is a new workflow that needs configuration
3. Review error logs for specific failure reasons

3. Daily Repository Chronicle - 100% Failure Rate 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY

Status: 2 out of 2 runs failed

Recommendation:

1. This scheduled workflow may have dependencies that are not being met
2. Check for required permissions or resources
3. Consider disabling until fixed to avoid noise in failure metrics

4. Safe Output Health Monitor - Partial Failure 🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY

Affected Run: §19053639081

Status: 1 failure, 1 in progress (50% failure rate)

Recommendation:

1. Monitor the in-progress run to completion
2. Investigate common failure patterns

Error Analysis

Total Errors Detected: 226 error/warning entries across log files

Common Error Patterns:

1. Permission Denied Errors - Multiple instances in Q workflow
2. TOML Parse Errors - Smoke Codex workflow
3. Network Errors - ICMPv6 packet failures in Smoke Copilot (squid proxy logs)
4. JSON Parsing Issues - Various workflows with malformed JSON in logs

Missing Tools

✅ No missing tools were reported in the last 24 hours. This indicates that all workflows have access to the tools they need, and there are no gaps in the MCP server configurations.

MCP Server Failures

✅ No MCP server failures detected in the last 24 hours. All MCP integrations are functioning correctly.

High-Performing Workflows

The following workflows had 100% success rates in the audit period:

• ✅ Q - 3/3 successful (issue/discussion question answering)
• ✅ Smoke Detector - 3/3 successful (smoke test failure investigator)
• ✅ Repository Tree Map Generator - 1/1 successful
• ✅ test-claude-oauth - 1/1 successful

Notable: The Tidy workflow has an excellent 92.3% success rate (12/13 successful runs), handling code formatting across multiple file types.

Performance Metrics

Note: Token usage and cost data were not available in the downloaded logs. The metrics show 0 values for:

• Token usage per run
• Estimated cost per run
• Turn counts

Recommendation: Enable detailed metrics collection in workflow configurations to track resource consumption and optimize costs.

Recommendations

Immediate Actions (High Priority)

1. Fix TOML Parse Errors in Smoke Tests

   • Review TOML configuration at line 30
   • Add TOML validation to CI pipeline
   • Consider using TOML linting tools

2. Investigate Duplicate Code Detector Failures

   • This workflow has a 100% failure rate
   • Review recent changes that may have broken functionality
   • Consider temporarily disabling until fixed

3. Fix Daily Repository Chronicle

   • 100% failure rate indicates a fundamental issue
   • Check for missing dependencies or permissions
   • Review workflow configuration

4. Monitor Smoke Test Suite Health

   • Currently at ~70% success rate across all smoke tests
   • Target should be >95% for smoke tests
   • Consider separating smoke tests into critical and non-critical

Short-Term Actions (Medium Priority)

5. Enable Metrics Collection

   • Configure workflows to report token usage
   • Track estimated costs for budget monitoring
   • Enable turn count tracking for efficiency analysis

6. Permission Denied Issues in Q Workflow

   • While Q workflow is succeeding, permission warnings suggest areas for improvement
   • Review file access permissions
   • Update workflow permissions configuration

7. Network Error Handling

   • ICMPv6 network unreachable errors in Smoke Copilot
   • Consider adding retry logic or fallback mechanisms
   • Review firewall/proxy configurations

Long-Term Actions (Low Priority)

8. Improve Success Rate Target

   • Current 71% is above baseline but should be higher
   • Target 85%+ success rate across all workflows
   • Implement better error recovery and retry logic

9. Automated Smoke Test Validation

   • Add pre-flight checks before running smoke tests
   • Validate all test data and configurations
   • Implement automatic rollback on test failures

10. Historical Trend Analysis

    • Build historical database of failures and patterns
    • Implement predictive failure detection
    • Create automated alerts for anomalous patterns
