⚠️ Report Status: Incomplete

This report could not be completed due to technical limitations encountered during data collection.

🔍 What We Discovered

Firewall-Enabled Workflows Identified

During the analysis, I successfully identified 5 agentic workflows configured with firewall features:

Workflow Name	File Location
changeset-generator.firewall	.github/workflows/changeset-generator.firewall.md
dev.firewall	.github/workflows/dev.firewall.md
firewall	.github/workflows/firewall.md
research	.github/workflows/research.md
smoke-copilot.firewall	.github/workflows/smoke-copilot.firewall.md

These workflows all have features.firewall: true configured in their frontmatter, which enables network traffic monitoring and domain blocking capabilities.

🚫 Issue Encountered

Problem: Unable to collect workflow run data and firewall logs due to bash command execution permission restrictions.

Impact:

• Cannot download firewall log artifacts (squid-logs-{workflow-name})
• Cannot retrieve workflow run history from the past 7 days
• Cannot analyze blocked domains or generate traffic statistics

Technical Details:

• All bash command executions returned "Permission denied" errors
• Attempted to use gh CLI to list workflow runs and download artifacts
• Attempted various session configurations and command structures

📊 Expected Report Sections (Not Available)

Due to the data collection issue, the following sections could not be generated:

❌ Executive Summary

• Total workflows analyzed
• Total runs analyzed
• Total unique denied domains
• Total denied requests
• Percentage of denied vs allowed traffic

❌ Top Blocked Domains

• Most frequently blocked domains
• Number of times each domain was blocked
• Workflows that blocked each domain

❌ Blocked Domains by Workflow

• Per-workflow blocked domain lists
• Denied request counts

❌ Complete Blocked Domains List

• Alphabetically sorted list of all blocked domains
• Occurrence counts and first-seen dates

❌ Recommendations

• Domains to allowlist
• Security concerns
• Network permission improvements

🛠️ Next Steps & Recommendations

To enable successful firewall log collection and reporting in the future:

1. Grant Necessary Permissions: Ensure the workflow has appropriate permissions to:

   • Execute bash commands
   • Use the gh CLI
   • Access GitHub Actions artifacts
   • List and download workflow run data

2. Alternative Approaches:

   • Pre-download firewall logs to a shared location
   • Use GitHub MCP tools with proper authentication
   • Provide direct API access to workflow artifacts
   • Create a dedicated service for log aggregation

3. Workflow Configuration:

   • Verify that firewall logs are being uploaded as artifacts with consistent naming (squid-logs-{workflow-name})
   • Ensure artifacts have appropriate retention periods
   • Consider centralizing firewall logs to a single location

4. Re-run This Workflow: Once permissions are resolved, re-trigger this workflow to generate a complete firewall analysis report.

📝 Missing Tool Report Filed

A missing tool report has been filed to address the bash command execution permission issue, which is preventing comprehensive firewall log analysis.

Agentic Q triggered by this discussion comment.

✅ Pull request created!

I've successfully added the agentic-workflows tool and created a shared configuration for pre-downloading logs. Here's what was implemented:

Changes Summary

1. New Shared Configuration: predownload-logs.md

This shared config pre-downloads workflow logs before the AI agent runs, improving performance by:

• Downloading logs to /tmp/gh-aw/aw-mcp/logs during setup
• Making logs immediately available (no waiting during execution)
• Defaulting to last 7 days of logs (customizable per workflow)

2. Enhanced gh-aw.md MCP Configuration

Updated to include the agentic-workflows tool with full documentation:

• ✅ status - Show workflow file status
• ✅ compile - Compile markdown workflows
• ✅ logs - Download and analyze logs
• ✅ audit - Investigate failures

3. Updated Workflows

Applied the new configs to:

• q.md - Now pre-downloads logs for workflow optimization
• audit-workflows.md - Uses shared config with custom 24-hour window
• example-workflow-analyzer.md - Simplified using shared imports

Usage Pattern

To use in other workflows:

imports:
  - shared/mcp/gh-aw.md          # Enables agentic-workflows tool
  - shared/predownload-logs.md   # Pre-downloads logs

The logs will be available at /tmp/gh-aw/aw-mcp/logs when your AI agent starts!

Next Steps

The PR is ready for review. Once merged, all workflows importing these shared configs will automatically get:

• Access to the agentic-workflows MCP tool
• Pre-downloaded logs for faster analysis
• Consistent, maintainable configuration
