Research direction

The issue is an automatically generated Copilot token usage report, with workflow run links and a data source at /tmp/gh-aw/token-audit/copilot-logs.json. Start by reviewing the report generator and the linked workflow runs; the payload does not identify repository files or tests. The report suggests restoring cost, turn, and token summary fields and investigating workflow errors, but does not specify a change or a completion criterion.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

token-usage-report
Overview

Period: 2026-10-21 19:32 UTC to 2026-10-22 08:14 UTC
Runs analyzed: 50 (49 had non-zero token data)
Total tokens: 1,457,762 (1.458M)
Estimated total cost: $0.00 (the export omitted estimated_cost; no dollar cost is available)
Total Actions minutes: 652.0
Errors: 7 total across 4 runs; warnings: 0
Turns: unavailable in this export

Workflow Summary

Sorted by total tokens; token counts are rounded to the nearest thousand for readability. Costs and turns are shown as unavailable because those fields were not present in this export.

🔍 Optimization Opportunities
  1. Smoke Copilot BYOK AOAI (Entra) — 191K average tokens/run; review prompt/context size and MCP tool surface. One run reached 283K tokens.
  2. Smoke Copilot BYOK AOAI (api-key) — 123K average tokens/run; review prompt/context size and MCP tool surface. One run reached 188K tokens.
  3. Smoke Cloud Hypervisor — 69K average tokens/run; monitor context growth, though it remains below the 100K threshold.
  4. Instrumentation — restore/export estimated_cost, turns, and token_usage_summary so cost, model, and trajectory optimizations can be measured directly. The current zero cost is not evidence of zero spend.
  5. Reliability — 4/50 runs had errors (8%), below the 30% high-error threshold overall, but the affected one-run workflows should be investigated individually: Dependency Security Monitor (1 error), Pelis Agent Factory Advisor (2 errors), and the two enclave read workflows (2 errors each).

Three individual runs exceeded 100K tokens:

Historical Trend

No approved prior token-usage report data was available in the issue lookup, so a period-over-period comparison could not be computed. This report should be treated as the baseline for future comparisons.

Previous Report

No readable previous report was available to link.

Data source: /tmp/gh-aw/token-audit/copilot-logs.json, generated from the Copilot workflow usage export.
