• codex: 1 run (295,980 tokens - 5.7%)

Critical Issues

1. Code Scanning Fixer Failure

Run: §21195191029
Error: missing finish_reason for choice 0
Impact: Workflow terminated during execution
Status: ❌ Failed

The Code Scanning Fixer workflow encountered an API error where the response from the AI provider was incomplete. This is an intermittent API issue rather than a code problem.

Context: The workflow successfully completed on subsequent runs (§21193819087, §21196172033), indicating this was a transient failure.

Missing Tools

Safe-Input GitHub Query Tools

Affected Workflow: Daily Project Performance Summary Generator
Run: §21195683901

Issue: The required safe-input GitHub query tools (github-pr-query, github-issue-query, github-discussion-query) from shared/github-queries-safe-input.md are not available in the environment.

Impact: Workflow cannot gather PR/issue/discussion data for analysis, limiting its ability to generate comprehensive performance metrics.

Recommendation: Enable these tools or provide alternative data access methods.

Firewall Analysis

The firewall processed 349 network requests during the analysis period:

Category	Count	Percentage
Total Requests	349	100%
Errors	213	61.0%
Connection Attempts	136	39.0%

View Domain Analysis

Top Connection Attempts:

• host.docker.internal:80: 76 requests (MCP gateway connections)
• api.anthropic.com:443: 25 requests (Claude API)
• api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com:443: 21 requests (Copilot Enterprise)
• api.github.com:443: 7 requests (GitHub API)
• api.githubcopilot.com:443: 7 requests (Copilot API)

Note: The high error count (213) represents connection pre-checks and health monitoring rather than actual denied access. All legitimate API requests reached their destinations successfully through the allowed domains configuration.

Historical Context

Comparing with previous audit (2026-01-13):

Metric	2026-01-13	2026-01-21	Change
Success Rate	50.0%	80.0%	+30.0% ✅
Errors	5	1	-80.0% ✅
Token Usage	15.8M	5.2M	-67.1% ✅
Cost	$0.42	$0.84	+100%

Key Improvements:

• ✅ Success rate improved by 30 percentage points
• ✅ Error count reduced from 5 to 1
• ✅ Token usage normalized (previous spike was due to smoke test runs)
• ⚠️ Cost increased due to Claude-based Step Name Alignment workflow

The previous audit identified MCP server initialization failures in the "Smoke Claude" workflow. These smoke test workflows are no longer appearing in the daily runs, which may explain the improved stability.

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Monitor API Stability: Track the "missing finish_reason" error pattern in Code Scanning Fixer to identify if it's a recurring issue
2. Enable Safe-Input Tools: Add the required GitHub query tools to support the Daily Project Performance Summary workflow

Medium Priority

3. Cost Optimization: Review the Step Name Alignment workflow's token usage ($0.84 for 1.2M tokens) to ensure it's providing value proportional to cost
4. Cancelled Run Investigation: Investigate why run §21193521266 (/cloclo) was cancelled after only 3 seconds

Low Priority

5. Firewall Logging: Consider reducing firewall pre-check logging to focus on actual access denials rather than connection health checks
6. Trending Data: Continue collecting daily metrics to build longer-term trend analysis (currently only 3 data points in last 30 days)

Next Steps

• Daily audit completed
• Data saved to repo memory (/audits/2026-01-21.json)
• Trending history updated
• Monitor Code Scanning Fixer for recurring API errors
• Enable missing safe-input tools
• Review next 24-hour period on 2026-01-22
