[P1] PR Triage Agent and Daily Issues Report failing: lockdown mode requires custom GitHub token #16776

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Two scheduled workflows are consistently failing due to a missing GitHub token required for lockdown mode.

Affected Workflows

Workflow Status Consecutive Failures
PR Triage Agent ❌ Failing 2+ days (Feb 18–19)
Daily Issues Report Generator ❌ Failing Today (Feb 19)

Error

Both workflows have lockdown: true configured in their tools section, which requires a custom GitHub token. The token is not set:

Lockdown mode is explicitly enabled, validating requirements...
GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN configured: false
GH_AW_GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN configured: false
Custom github-token configured: false
##[error]Lockdown mode is enabled (lockdown: true) but no custom GitHub token is configured.

Root Cause

The workflows use tools.github.lockdown: true, which requires one of:

  • GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN repository secret (recommended)
  • GH_AW_GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN repository secret
  • A custom github-token in the workflow frontmatter

None of these are currently configured.

Impact

  • PR Triage Agent: PR categorization and risk assessment not running (runs every 6 hours)
  • Daily Issues Report Generator: Daily issue analysis and charts not being generated

Fix

Configure the GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN secret in the repository:

gh aw secrets set GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN --value "YOUR_FINE_GRAINED_PAT"

The PAT needs issues: read and pull-requests: read permissions at minimum.

Alternatively, remove lockdown: true from the workflow frontmatter if lockdown mode is not required.
