Workflow Failure

Workflow: Design Decision Gate 🏗️
Branch: copilot/aw-failures-fix-session-timeout
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/28728187067
Pull Request: #43413

Inference Access Denied: The Copilot CLI failed because the token does not have access to inference. This can happen when:

• Your organization has restricted Copilot access
• The COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN does not have a valid Copilot subscription
• Required policies have not been enabled by your administrator

To resolve this, verify that the COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN secret belongs to an account with an active Copilot subscription and check your Copilot settings.

Warning

MCP Servers Blocked by Policy: The Copilot CLI blocked MCP server connections due to an organization or enterprise policy. The agent ran without access to MCP tools (GitHub API, safe outputs, etc.).

This is a policy configuration issue, not a transient error — retrying will not help.

How to fix this

An organization or enterprise administrator must enable the "MCP servers in Copilot" policy:

1. Go to your enterprise or organization settings
2. Navigate to Policies → Copilot
3. Enable "MCP servers in Copilot"

For detailed instructions, see the official documentation.

Note: On some GitHub Enterprise instances, the Policies tab may only be visible at the enterprise level, not the organization level.

Agent Timed Out: The agent job exceeded the maximum allowed execution time (15 minutes).

To increase the timeout, add or update the timeout-minutes setting in your workflow's frontmatter:

---
timeout-minutes: 25
---

Action Required

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.
