Research direction

This is an automatically managed detection-run tracker, not a coding task. No files or tests are identified, and the issue explicitly says there is no action to take and not to assign it to an agent.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

agentic-workflows

This issue tracks all runs where threat detection flagged problems in agentic workflows in this repository. Each workflow run that completes with a detection warning or failure posts a comment here.

What is a Detection Problem?

A detection problem occurs when the threat detection system either:

  • Detects potential security threats (prompt injection, secret leak, malicious patch)
  • Fails to produce results (agent failure, parse error)

When continue-on-error: true (the default), these problems produce warnings and safe outputs still proceed. When continue-on-error: false, they block safe outputs entirely.

How This Helps

This issue helps you:

  • Track workflows where threat detection raised concerns
  • Review patterns of detection warnings or failures
  • Identify false positives or recurring issues with threat detection
  • Monitor the health of the threat detection system
Resources

[!TIP]
To configure threat detection behavior, update the frontmatter:

safe-outputs:
  threat-detection:
    continue-on-error: true   # Warnings only (default)
    # continue-on-error: false  # Strict mode — block safe outputs

This issue is automatically managed by GitHub Agentic Workflows. Do not close this issue manually.

No action to take - Do not assign to an agent.
