Description
Workflow Failure
Workflow: Issue Monster
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/37573284968
Warning
Agent Assignment Failed: Failed to assign agent to issues or pull requests.
Assignment Errors:
- Issue [deep-report] Replace predictable JUPYTER_TOKEN (github.run_id) with a generated secret #65969 (agent: copilot): Bad credentials - https://docs.github.com/rest
- Issue [uk-ai-resilience] GraphQL query built via Sprintf in project_command.go (Tier B) #66214 (agent: copilot): Bad credentials - https://docs.github.com/rest
- Issue [uk-ai-resilience] Dockerfile base image not digest-pinned (Tier B) #66212 (agent: copilot): Bad credentials - https://docs.github.com/rest
To resolve this, verify the token and Copilot assignment configuration:
- Set
GH_AW_AGENT_TOKENto a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or use a classic PAT withrepo - Do not use a GitHub App installation token for Copilot assignment; the API rejects it
- Ensure the token owner can access the repository and assign users to issues
- Verify Copilot coding agent is enabled for this repository and organization policy allows bot assignments
