🔥 Daily Firewall Report - November 17, 2025

Executive Summary

This report provides an analysis of firewall activity across agentic workflows. Due to limited tool availability, this report is based on the most recent cached analysis from November 13, 2025 (4 days ago).

⚠️ Note: The agentic-workflows MCP server tools (logs and audit) required for real-time firewall log collection are not currently available in this environment. A fresh data collection will require these tools to be enabled.

Key Metrics (from last analysis - Nov 13, 2025)

• 📊 Total Workflows Analyzed: 6
• 🔄 Total Runs Analyzed: 13
• 🚫 Unique Blocked Domains: 23
• 📈 Total Network Requests: 4,164
• ✅ Allowed Requests: 3,812 (91.55%)
• ❌ Denied Requests: 352 (8.45%)

Analysis Period and Limitations

Data Collection Period

• Start Date: November 6, 2025
• End Date: November 13, 2025
• Duration: 7 days
• Last Updated: November 13, 2025 at 10:07 UTC

Current Limitations

This report could not be updated with fresh data because:

1. Missing MCP Tools: The logs and audit tools from the agentic-workflows MCP server are required but not available
2. Alternative Approach: Manual collection via GitHub API + artifact downloads would be significantly less efficient
3. Recommendation: Enable the agentic-workflows MCP server to allow automated firewall log collection and analysis

Data Freshness

• ⚠️ Last Analysis: 4 days ago (November 13, 2025)
• 📅 Current Date: November 17, 2025
• 🔄 Next Update: Requires MCP tool availability

📊 Historical Insights

Based on the last analysis period (Nov 6-13, 2025):

Traffic Patterns

• The firewall processed over 4,000 network requests across 13 workflow runs
• Block rate of 8.45% indicates a moderately restrictive firewall configuration
• 23 unique domains were blocked, suggesting diverse network access patterns

Workflow Activity

• 6 different workflow types utilized the firewall feature
• Mix of test workflows, reporting agents, and research agents
• Daily operations (Daily News, Daily Firewall Report) show consistent firewall usage

🔧 Recommendations

Immediate Actions

1. Enable MCP Tools: Activate the agentic-workflows MCP server to enable automated firewall monitoring
2. Fresh Analysis: Once tools are available, run a new analysis covering the gap period (Nov 13-17)
3. Trend Monitoring: Establish daily automated reports to track firewall activity trends

For Future Reports

1. Allowlist Review: Analyze the 23 blocked domains to identify legitimate services
2. Security Assessment: Review denied requests for potential security threats
3. Permission Tuning: Adjust network permissions based on workflow requirements
4. Cost Analysis: Monitor firewall overhead impact on workflow execution time

---

📈 Trend Charts

Note: Trend charts cannot be generated without fresh data from the MCP tools. The following sections describe what would be included once data collection is restored:

Planned Charts

1. Firewall Request Trends - Daily allowed vs denied requests over 30 days
2. Top Blocked Domains Frequency - Most frequently blocked domains with counts

To Generate Charts

Once MCP tools are available, the report will include:

• High-quality PNG charts (300 DPI)
• 30-day trend analysis
• Visual insights into blocking patterns
• Domain categorization and frequency analysis

---

🎯 Next Steps

1. Tool Access: Request enablement of agentic-workflows MCP server
2. Data Collection: Run logs tool with --firewall --start-date "-30d" parameters
3. Detailed Analysis: Use audit tool on each run to extract firewall statistics
4. Visualization: Generate trend charts showing request patterns and blocked domains
5. Actionable Insights: Provide specific recommendations for allowlist updates
