Research direction

This is an automated tracking issue for threat detection runs in agentic workflows. It is not a task for a contributor; the issue explicitly states 'No action to take' and 'Do not assign to an agent.' The comments will contain logs of detection warnings or failures for review by maintainers.

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.
