[aw] Smoke Copilot - AOAI (apikey): exceeded max AI credits #72472

Update max-ai-credits in your workflow frontmatter:

max-ai-credits: 120

• Review the cost optimization guidance.
• Reduce unnecessary model or tool calls in the prompt.
• Trim large inputs or excess context that does not change the outcome.
• Split large tasks across smaller runs when possible.

[!WARNING]
Task Could Not Be Completed: The workflow recorded a report_incomplete signal: the task was not completed or completion could not be confirmed.

Failure classification: request_rejection
Driver exit code: 1. The engine driver exited before a terminal safe output was recorded.
Driver exit meaning: General failure
Last driver stderr summary: not recorded (no classified stderr diagnostic)
Last tool call status: succeeded
Last tool exit code: 0
Failed tool calls observed: 1
Token budget state: unknown (no exhaustion signal recorded)
Step budget state (LLM invocations): unknown (no exhaustion signal recorded)
Safe-output tools: available at gateway snapshot (registered 18 tools)
Safe-output CLI calls observed: unknown (not recorded)
Safe-output MCP calls observed: 0
Safe-output persistence: not recorded
Engine error: Authentication failed (authentication_failed)
Agent finished without emitting a terminal safe output; task completion could not be confirmed.
Engine HTTP error codes: 403
Last engine error type: authentication_failed
Retry attempts observed: 1

A comment or other safe output does not confirm that the requested task was completed. Only inferred runtime status and error codes are reported; agent text is excluded.

Failure Diagnostics

Agent job: agent
Agent job conclusion: failure
Failing step: Execute GitHub Copilot CLI

No additional engine error was captured. Check the reported failure signals and linked run for details.

Only runtime metadata is shown; agent-generated text is excluded.

This failure was triggered by a guardrail limit (max-ai-credits). Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to analyze token usage and reduce costs:

Optimize the agentic workflow token consumption using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/optimize.md

The workflow run is at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/40522223615

Paste this into your coding agent:

Debug the agentic workflow "smoke-copilot-aoai-apikey" failure.
Follow https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md
Failed run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/40522223615

If the repository includes the agentic-workflows skill, load it before investigating.

To stop creating failure issues for this workflow, set this in its frontmatter and recompile:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false

This only disables issue reporting; it does not fix the failure.
