DeepReport Intelligence Briefing - 2026-01-27

Executive Summary

The agent ecosystem remains productive and stable in output generation, with Safe Outputs sustaining a 100% success streak and project performance showing fast PR/issue turnaround. However, security posture drifted this cycle: static analysis surfaced a workflow with sandbox: false, and multiple workflows still lack required GitHub permissions. Schema health continues to improve (maxItems constraints fixed), but validation gaps persist for maxLength bounds and null semantics.

Workflow-level telemetry was constrained this cycle because the gh-aw logs download command requires GitHub CLI authentication in this environment, limiting direct token/cost and missing-tool analysis. Issue intake remains high and automation-driven, with creation slightly outpacing closures over the last 3 days and a sizable portion of open issues unassigned.

Pattern Analysis

Positive patterns

• Safe Outputs are consistently reliable (4 consecutive perfect days, 96.83% 7-day avg).
• Schema maintenance shows incremental improvements (maxItems constraints restored).
• PR and issue velocity stays strong (merge and close times near 2 hours).

Concerning patterns

• Security exception detected: a workflow runs with sandbox: false.
• Multiple workflows lack issues: read / pull-requests: read permissions and risk runtime failures.
• Audit visibility is reduced without logs access, limiting root-cause depth for failures.

Emerging patterns

• MCP tool response bloat continues for a subset of tools (notably code-scanning and PR list endpoints).
• Discussion answer rate at 0% indicates follow-up gaps in knowledge capture.

Trend Intelligence

Metric	Current	Notes
Safe Output Success	100% (last 4 days)	96.83% 7-day average
Weekly Issues	467 total	61 open / 406 closed
3-Day Issue Delta	118 created vs 105 closed	Intake slightly ahead
Open Unassigned	40	Triage opportunity
Unlabeled Issues	56 total (2 open)	Labeling mostly healthy

Metrics Details

• Top labels: automation (155), cookie (139), testing (67), code-quality (55), enhancement (54).
• Top authors: github-actions (422), agentic-workflows-dev (12), dsyme (10).
• Performance summary: avg PR merge time 2.0h, avg issue close time 1.7h, discussions answered 0%.

Notable Findings

• Critical: daily-team-evolution-insights.md runs with sandbox: false, disabling firewall and MCP gateway protections.
• High: 5 workflows missing GitHub permissions (issues: read, pull-requests: read).
• Audit gap: Audit report was marked incomplete due to missing logs tool access.
• Schema: maxItems fix confirmed; maxLength bounds and null semantics remain unresolved.
• MCP tools: list_code_scanning_alerts and list_pull_requests are still context-heavy.

Predictions and Recommendations

• Expect elevated audit uncertainty until logs access is restored or an MCP-based log fetch is enabled.
• If sandbox-disabled workflows proliferate, security risk will trend upward; address exceptions quickly.
• Maintain safe output monitoring; current reliability is a strong foundation for automated remediation.
• Consider a lightweight discussion triage routine to improve answered/closed rates.

Actionable Agentic Tasks (Quick Wins)

Three issues were created from this analysis:

1. Re-enable sandbox or document exception for daily-team-evolution-insights.
2. Add missing GitHub permissions to 5 workflows flagged by static analysis.
3. Add maxLength constraints for core workflow metadata fields in schema.
