Agent Performance Report - Week of 2026-03-14

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary

• Agents analyzed: ~166 workflows (12+ active daily agents)
• Total outputs reviewed (last 7 days): ~25 safe outputs (issues, PRs, discussions, comments)
• Quality score: 86/100 (stable)
• Effectiveness score: 87/100 (↑1 from last week)
• Ecosystem health: 72/100 (stable)
• Top performers: AI Moderator, Daily Safe Outputs Conformance Checker, Semantic Function Refactoring
• Persistent issue: Issue Monster (P0 lockdown — [P1] Lockdown token failures: Issue Monster, PR Triage Agent, Daily Issues Report #20315)

Key Findings This Week

✅ Major Recovery: AI Moderator (Codex) fully recovered from a series of event-handling failures on 2026-03-12. It ran 18/19 runs successfully today across issues, issue_comment, and pull_request events — confirming the 3/12 failures were transient (likely a GitHub Actions event dispatch timing issue, not a code problem).

✅ Codex Engine Stable: Multiple workflows previously affected (Smoke Codex, Duplicate Code Detector) recovered successfully and have remained stable.

⚠️ New Watch Item: Chroma Issue Indexer had an unusually high turn count (407 turns in one 8.4-minute run) and a firewall block on example.com. This may indicate a placeholder URL in code or a test/debug path being triggered in production. Warrants investigation.

⚠️ Minor Regressions (Intermittent): Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer and DeepReport each had single failures on 2026-03-12. Both have since stabilized — monitoring.

Performance Rankings

Top Performing Agents 🏆

1. AI Moderator (Quality: 96/100, Effectiveness: 95/100)

   • Most active agent in the ecosystem: 19+ runs/day across issues, PRs, and comments
   • 95% success rate today (18/19 runs)
   • Adds labels efficiently using safeoutputs_add_labels
   • Consistent pattern: reads issue/PR content → makes moderation decision → noop or label
   • Example runs: §23091691522, §23092005298

2. Daily Safe Outputs Conformance Checker (Quality: 95/100, Effectiveness: 93/100)

   • 100% success rate, consistent 4-minute runs
   • 359K tokens per run (Claude Sonnet, ~$0.31/run)
   • Produces clear, structured compliance reports
   • Proactively identifies safe-output gaps before they cause failures

3. Semantic Function Refactoring (Quality: 93/100, Effectiveness: 91/100)

   • 100% success rate, 1.16M tokens (~$0.81/run)
   • Creates actionable PRs with clean code changes
   • High PR merge correlation with previous recommendations

4. Lockfile Statistics Analysis Agent (Quality: 92/100, Effectiveness: 90/100)

   • 100% success rate, 1.08M tokens (~$0.87/run)

Agents Needing Monitoring 📋

1. Chroma Issue Indexer

   • 407 turns in a single run (2026-03-12) — anomalously high
   • Attempted to access example.com (blocked by firewall)
   • Normally stable at 8-9 minute runs
   • Recommendation: Investigate example.com reference in codebase — likely a placeholder URL used in tests or demo data that's being indexed

2. Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer

   • 1 failure on 2026-03-12 (single incident)
   • Returned to normal since
   • Recommendation: Monitor for repeat — if it fails again, check for API timeout patterns

3. DeepReport - Intelligence Gathering Agent

   • 1 failure on 2026-03-12 (single incident)
   • Status: recovered
   • Recommendation: Monitor for recurrence

Inactive / Blocked Agents 🔴

1. Issue Monster (0% success, P0 lockdown)
   • 100% failure rate — GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN not available in lockdown environment
   • Issue #20315 open, NO FIX PATH without human intervention
   • Also affects: PR Triage Agent, Daily Issues Report, Org Health Report

Quality Analysis

Quality Distribution

• Excellent (80-100): AI Moderator, Safe Outputs Conformance Checker, Semantic Function Refactoring, Lockfile Stats Agent, Contribution Check, Great Escapi (~6 agents)
• Good (60-79): Chroma Issue Indexer, Daily Team Evolution Insights, Daily Chronicle, Slide Deck Maintainer (~4 agents)
• Fair (40-59): Intermittent agents (DeepReport, Safe Output Optimizer) pending pattern confirmation (~2 agents)
• Poor (<40): Issue Monster (structurally blocked, not a quality issue)

Behavioral Patterns

Productive Patterns ✅

• AI Moderator rapid response: averages 37-45 seconds for issues events, 7-8 minutes for pull_request events (depth-appropriate response time)
• Claude agents (Semantic Refactoring, Lockfile Stats, Safe Outputs Checker): consistent high-quality output, good token efficiency
• Codex agents handling moderation and code review: low token overhead, fast execution

Patterns to Watch ⚠️

• Chroma Issue Indexer: 407-turn run is 25x normal — indicates possible loop or excessive depth in a single indexing session
• AI Moderator 3/12 failures: 4 consecutive failures on issues events then recovery on 3/13 — possible GitHub API rate limit or event timing issue, resolved itself

Firewall Activity (3/12 — 3/14)

• api.anthropic.com: 57 requests (Claude engines, all allowed)
• api.githubcopilot.com: 179 requests (Copilot engine, all allowed)
• api.openai.com: 34 requests (Codex/AI Moderator, allowed)
• ab.chatgpt.com: 11 requests blocked (OpenAI telemetry — normal/expected for Codex)
• example.com: 1 request blocked (Chroma Issue Indexer — needs investigation)

Resource Efficiency

Cost & Token Analysis

Daily Cost Estimate: ~$3.50-$4.50/day

• Lockfile Statistics Analysis Agent: ~$0.87/run (highest single-run cost)
• Semantic Function Refactoring: ~$0.81/run
• Daily Safe Outputs Conformance Checker: ~$0.31/run
• Copilot-engine agents: ~$0 (API quota-based)
• Codex-engine agents: ~$0 (quota-based)

Efficiency observations:

• Claude agents are the primary cost drivers but produce high-value structured outputs
• Copilot agents (AI Moderator, Contribution Check, Great Escapi) deliver strong value at zero marginal cost
• Chroma Issue Indexer's 407-turn run could indicate inefficiency if it becomes a pattern

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Investigate Chroma Issue Indexer example.com access attempt

   • A request to example.com was blocked during the 2026-03-12 run
   • Combined with the 407-turn anomaly, this suggests something unusual in the indexing data or agent logic
   • Check: is example.com appearing in issue/PR content being indexed? Is there a fallback URL in the code?
   • Estimated effort: 1-2 hours

2. P0: GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN resolution ([P1] Lockdown token failures: Issue Monster, PR Triage Agent, Daily Issues Report #20315)

   • Issue Monster, PR Triage, Daily Issues Report, and Org Health Report remain blocked
   • These are valuable orchestration agents with no current failure mitigation
   • Requires human escalation to resolve the lockdown token configuration
   • Estimated effort: Human intervention required

Medium Priority

3. Add turn limit monitoring for Chroma Issue Indexer

   • Consider adding a turn budget check or reducing depth per run if >100 turns detected
   • Estimated effort: 30 minutes

4. Monitor Daily Safe Output Tool Optimizer recovery

   • One failure on 3/12 is not alarming, but two in a week would warrant investigation
   • No action needed yet

Low Priority

5. Repo memory cleanup
   • The shared meta-orchestrator memory branch has accumulated 43KB+ of files, exceeding the 10KB limit
   • Old shared-alerts.md history (17KB) and old daily metrics files should be pruned regularly
   • Consider implementing a cleanup step in the Metrics Collector workflow

Trends

• Overall agent quality: 86/100 (stable, ↑2 from 84/100 two weeks ago)
• Effectiveness: 87/100 (↑1 from last week)
• Ecosystem health: 72/100 (stable — constrained by P0 lockdown issue)
• Active agents today: ~12 (up from ~8 six weeks ago)
• Daily cost: ~$4.00/day (up ~10% from last month, proportional to new agent additions)
• PR merge rate for agent-created PRs: ~85% (improving — Semantic Function Refactoring outputs well-targeted)

Actions Taken This Run

• Analyzed 49+ workflow runs across 12+ agent types
• No new improvement issues required (all critical items tracked in [P1] Lockdown token failures: Issue Monster, PR Triage Agent, Daily Issues Report #20315 or under monitoring)
• Updated shared meta-orchestrator memory with current assessment
