[aw] Daily SPDD Spec Planner is missing required tool #65629
Description
Workflow Failure
Workflow: Daily SPDD Spec Planner
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37219494497
Warning
Repeated Permission Denied: The agent was denied permission to run 1 command(s) and stopped retrying.
Denied Commands:
| ... and 3 more
How to fix this
The agent ran in non-interactive mode (--no-ask-user) and could not request permission at runtime.
To resolve repeated permission denied errors, update the workflow prompt to avoid these commands or use approved alternatives. Use the following prompt with any coding agent:
The agentic workflow daily-spdd-spec-planner encountered repeated permission denied errors for these commands:
`| ... and 3 more`
Please update the workflow prompt so the agent:
1. Uses built-in tools (GitHub API, file read/write) instead of the denied shell commands
2. Or achieves the same goal through alternative approaches that do not require shell permission
Warning
Engine Failure: The copilot engine terminated unexpectedly.
Driver exit code: 1
