Warning
Agent Assignment Failed: Failed to assign agent to issues or pull requests.
Assignment Errors:
- Issue [uk-ai-resilience] [security] Make generated npm/pip/uv installs deterministic in lock files #68043 (agent: copilot): Bad credentials - https://docs.github.com/rest. Agent assignment credential source: GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN. Dedicated assignment credential: present. Credential format: fine-grained PAT (validity and permissions unverified). Configure GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN or assign-to-agent.github-token with a valid user token: a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or a classic PAT with repo scope. Check token expiry, repository access, and organization approval/SSO. GitHub App installation tokens, including GITHUB_TOKEN, cannot assign Copilot. See https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/copilot-cloud-agent/#authentication
- Issue [uk-ai-resilience] [security] Resolve js/file-system-race alerts in test_lint_monster_issues.cjs #69063 (agent: copilot): Bad credentials - https://docs.github.com/rest. Agent assignment credential source: GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN. Dedicated assignment credential: present. Credential format: fine-grained PAT (validity and permissions unverified). Configure GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN or assign-to-agent.github-token with a valid user token: a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or a classic PAT with repo scope. Check token expiry, repository access, and organization approval/SSO. GitHub App installation tokens, including GITHUB_TOKEN, cannot assign Copilot.

- Issue [domains-audit] Gemini wildcard overlaps package ecosystems and evades exact-string guards #70227 (agent: copilot): Bad credentials - https://docs.github.com/rest. Agent assignment credential source: GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN. Dedicated assignment credential: present. Credential format: fine-grained PAT (validity and permissions unverified). Configure GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN or assign-to-agent.github-token with a valid user token: a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or a classic PAT with repo scope. Check token expiry, repository access, and organization approval/SSO. GitHub App installation tokens, including GITHUB_TOKEN, cannot assign Copilot. See https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/copilot-cloud-agent/#authentication
To resolve this, verify the token and Copilot assignment configuration:
- Set
GH_AW_AGENT_TOKENto a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or use a classic PAT withrepo - Do not use a GitHub App installation token for Copilot assignment; the API rejects it
- Ensure the token owner can access the repository and assign users to issues
- Verify Copilot coding agent is enabled for this repository and organization policy allows bot assignments
