Research direction

Locate the Avenger prompt and instructions, then find how its workflow is compiled. Update the instructions so the workflow can complete when report_progress is unavailable, and recompile it. Done means the compiled workflow no longer requires that tool and a run on the engine completes without a missing-tool report.

Description

agentic-workflows automation aw-essential cookie

Priority 1/10 | 6 source issues | Impact 3/5 | Confidence 4/5 | Effort 1/5

One assignment, one coherent fix

The Avenger workflow repeatedly reports missing report_progress because the engine exposes no such tool.

Implementation scope

Update the Avenger prompt and instructions to commit locally and submit a pull request through safe outputs when report_progress is unavailable, then recompile the workflow.

Done when
  • The compiled Avenger workflow no longer requires report_progress.
  • A run on the engine completes without a missing-tool report.
Why now

Six consecutive failures name the same missing tool and propose the same alternative, so the fix is small and well bounded.

No corroborating AW discussion; evidence comes from the source issues.

Unchanged AW sources close only after this summary is completed. Newer source activity and not-planned retirement do not trigger source closure. Assigned summaries are frozen; unassign to allow reclustering.
