Research direction

Start by inspecting the failed run linked in the issue, then read .github/workflows/issue-classification.md and the referenced debug.md or agentic-workflows skill. Identify why the Issue Classification Agent produced no safe outputs; done means the workflow either generates a safe output or explicitly calls noop without reporting a failure.

Description

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Issue Classification Agent
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34720944960

[!WARNING]
No Safe Outputs Generated: The agent job succeeded but did not produce any safe outputs.

This typically indicates:

  • The safe output server failed to run
  • The prompt failed to generate any meaningful result
  • The agent should have called noop to explicitly indicate no action was taken
Action Required
