Audit Statistics

Overall Performance

• Period Analyzed: Last 24 hours (October 26-27, 2025)
• Total Workflow Runs: 122
• Active Workflows: 31 unique workflows
• Success Rate: 82.79%
• Average Cost per Run: $0.015

Resource Consumption

• Total Tokens: 663,620
• Total Cost: $1.78
• Cost Distribution: All costs concentrated in one high-resource workflow (Lockfile Statistics Analysis Agent)

Missing Tools Analysis

✅ No missing tools detected across all 122 workflow runs.

This is an excellent indicator that:

• All required tools are properly configured
• Workflows are designed to work within available capabilities
• No tooling gaps are blocking agent operations

Error Analysis

Error Distribution

The audit system logged 1,459 detection entries classified as errors/warnings, but analysis shows these are benign system logs, not actual failures:

• 1,001 entries marked as "error" type (JSON-formatted system logs)
• 458 entries marked as "warning" type (JSON-formatted system logs)

Important: These are internal detection system logs, not actual execution errors. The logs capture normal agent communication patterns for security monitoring purposes.

Actual Failures

14 workflow runs failed across 10 different workflows:

Workflow	Success	Failed	Failure Rate
Daily Documentation Updater	0	2	100%
Mergefest	4	3	42.9%
CLI Version Checker	1	2	66.7%
Q	3	1	25.0%
Changeset Generator	21	1	4.5%
Smoke Copilot Firewall	5	1	16.7%
Smoke Copilot	4	1	20.0%
Artifacts Summary	2	1	33.3%
The Daily Repository Chronicle	0	1	100%
Duplicate Code Detector	0	1	100%

Critical Issues

High-Priority Failures (100% failure rate):

1. Daily Documentation Updater - Failed 2 out of 2 runs (100% failure)
2. The Daily Repository Chronicle - Failed 1 out of 1 run (100% failure)
3. Duplicate Code Detector - Failed 1 out of 1 run (100% failure)

Moderate-Priority Failures:

• CLI Version Checker - Failed 2 out of 3 runs (66.7% failure)
• Mergefest - Failed 3 out of 7 runs (42.9% failure)

MCP Server Failures

✅ No MCP server failures detected across all workflow runs.

This indicates:

• All MCP servers are healthy and responding
• Server configurations are correct
• No connectivity issues detected

Affected Workflows

Workflows Requiring Attention

Immediate Action Required:

1. Daily Documentation Updater

   • 100% failure rate (0 success, 2 failed)
   • Runs daily at 06:00 UTC
   • Needs investigation

2. The Daily Repository Chronicle

   • 100% failure rate (0 success, 1 failed)
   • Scheduled workflow, may be blocking daily operations

3. Duplicate Code Detector

   • 100% failure rate (0 success, 1 failed)
   • Scheduled daily at 21:00 UTC

Investigation Recommended:
4. CLI Version Checker

• 66.7% failure rate (1 success, 2 failed)
• Scheduled daily at 15:00 UTC

5. Mergefest
   • 42.9% failure rate (4 success, 3 failed)
   • Command-triggered workflow on PR comments
   • May be encountering edge cases in PR processing

Workflows with Cancelled Runs

• Tidy - 2 cancelled out of 17 runs
  • Likely due to new commits triggering workflow restarts
  • Normal behavior for push-triggered workflows

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Investigate Daily Documentation Updater failures

   • Check recent changes to documentation update logic
   • Review error logs for specific failure reasons
   • Consider adding retry logic or fallback behavior

2. Debug The Daily Repository Chronicle

   • Examine the specific run that failed
   • Verify all required dependencies are available
   • Check for recent breaking changes

3. Review Duplicate Code Detector

   • Analyze failure mode
   • May need dependency updates or configuration changes

Medium Priority

4. Improve CLI Version Checker reliability

   • Identify common failure patterns
   • Add better error handling
   • Consider timeout adjustments

5. Enhance Mergefest robustness

   • Analyze the 3 failed runs for patterns
   • Add validation for edge cases in PR processing
   • Improve error messages for debugging

Low Priority

6. Monitor resource usage

   • Lockfile Statistics Analysis Agent used significant resources ($1.78)
   • While successful, consider if optimization is possible
   • Monitor for cost trends in future audits

7. Continue monitoring

   • Overall system health is good
   • Keep tracking success rates for trends
   • Alert on any new patterns of failures

Historical Context

This is the first audit in the series. Future audits will include:

• Trend analysis comparing with previous periods
• Pattern detection across multiple audit cycles
• Cost trend analysis
• Success rate trends per workflow

Next Steps

• Investigate and fix Daily Documentation Updater (Priority: High)
• Debug The Daily Repository Chronicle failure (Priority: High)
• Analyze Duplicate Code Detector failure (Priority: High)
• Review CLI Version Checker failure patterns (Priority: Medium)
• Analyze Mergefest failure cases (Priority: Medium)
• Set up automated alerts for workflows with >50% failure rate
• Schedule next audit for October 28, 2025
