🔥 Daily Firewall Report - October 26, 2025

⚠️ Report Status: Unable to Complete

This automated firewall log collection and analysis workflow encountered permission issues that prevented it from completing successfully.

🔍 What Was Attempted

The workflow attempted to:

1. Identify firewall-enabled workflows in the repository
2. Collect workflow runs from the past 7 days
3. Download firewall log artifacts (named squid-logs-{workflow-name})
4. Parse and analyze the logs for blocked domains
5. Generate a comprehensive report of blocked traffic

❌ Issues Encountered

Permission Restrictions

All bash commands and GitHub CLI operations returned "Permission denied" errors, including:

• gh run list - To retrieve workflow run information
• gh api - To access GitHub API endpoints
• File system operations with grep - To search workflow files
• Basic shell commands - Even which and version checks

Identified Firewall-Enabled Workflows

Through manual inspection of the .github/workflows directory, I identified the following workflows with network.firewall: true:

1. dev.firewall.md - Dev Firewall workflow for testing GitHub MCP tools
2. smoke-copilot.firewall.md - Smoke Copilot Firewall (runs every 6 hours)
3. changeset-generator.firewall.md - Changeset Generator with firewall
4. firewall.md - Firewall Test Agent

🛠️ Required Capabilities

To successfully generate firewall reports, this workflow needs:

1. GitHub Actions Workflow Access

• Ability to list workflow runs via GitHub API or gh CLI
• Permission to download artifacts from workflow runs
• Access to workflow run metadata (timestamps, conclusions, etc.)

2. File System Access

• Ability to search and read workflow markdown files
• Permission to create temporary directories for log analysis
• Capability to parse and process downloaded log files

3. Artifact Access

• Download artifacts named squid-logs-{workflow-name} from runs
• Extract and read Squid proxy access logs
• Parse log formats to identify blocked/allowed domains

📋 Recommended Next Steps

1. Review workflow permissions - This workflow may need additional GitHub token permissions for:

   • actions: read - To list and access workflow runs
   • contents: read - To read workflow files (should already have this)

2. Check execution environment - Verify that the workflow execution environment allows:

   • GitHub CLI (gh) operations
   • Basic bash/shell commands
   • File system read/write operations

3. Manual artifact collection - As a workaround, consider:

   • Manually downloading firewall logs from recent runs
   • Running a simpler script with elevated permissions
   • Using a different execution approach (e.g., GitHub Actions instead of agentic workflow)

🔄 Retry Information

• Workflow Run: [#${{ github.run_id }}](https://github.com/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }})
• Triggered: October 26, 2025
• Repository: ${{ github.repository }}

Note: This report was generated automatically by the Daily Firewall Report workflow. The workflow will retry on the next scheduled run.

✅ Q Mission Complete

I've analyzed the permission issues in copilot workflows and created a pull request with fixes.

Summary

Based on live log analysis, I identified 6 copilot workflows with missing edit and bash tools that were causing "Permission denied" errors:

• brave.md - Added edit + specific bash commands (strict mode)
• dev.md - Added edit + bash wildcard
• firewall.md - Added edit + bash wildcard
• plan.md - Added edit + bash wildcard
• pdf-summary.md - Added edit + specific bash commands (strict mode)
• research.md - Added edit + specific bash commands (strict mode)

Evidence from Logs

Run #18826213607 (Changeset Generator) showed 19 permission denied warnings, along with similar issues in runs #18826019582, #18826021755, and #18820434952.

Validation

All 6 modified workflows compiled successfully with no errors.

The pull request includes only .md workflow files (lock files will be auto-generated after merge).
