Add Trustabl Agent Scanner to CI - #305
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds a Trustabl Agent Scanner workflow. It runs on pushes to ChangesTrustabl scanning
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new CI workflow can currently pass while the scanner or its action fails, reducing confidence that the repository check is actually running successfully. Merge should wait for the failure handling to distinguish advisory findings from real scanner or workflow errors. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)
✨ Finishing Touches🧪 Generate unit tests (beta)

GitHub Actions expressions property dereference output name hyphen steps.outputs.exit-code continue-on-error outcome
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, using dot notation (e.g., steps.my-step.outputs.my-output) for step IDs or output names that contain hyphens will cause expression evaluation failures [1]. This occurs because the expression evaluator interprets the hyphen as a subtraction operator rather than part of the identifier [2][1]. To resolve this, you must use bracket notation (index syntax) to reference the property [2][1]. For example, if you have a step with an ID of my-step and an output named exit-code, you should access it as follows: ${{ steps['my-step'].outputs['exit-code'] }} This ensures the string is treated as a literal key rather than a mathematical operation [3]. Regarding continue-on-error and outcome: The steps context provides both an outcome and a conclusion for each step [4][5]. - steps.<step_id>.outcome: Contains the result of the step before the continue-on-error setting is applied (e.g., success, failure, cancelled, or skipped) [4][5]. - steps.<step_id>.conclusion: Contains the final result of the step after the continue-on-error setting is applied [4][5]. If a step has continue-on-error: true and it fails, the outcome will be failure, but the conclusion will be success [4][5].

Fail on scanner errors while keeping findings advisory.
Job-level continue-on-error hides Trustabl exit code 2 and other action failures. Move it to the Trustabl step and add a follow-up check. Use steps.trustabl.outputs['exit-code'] because exit-code requires bracket notation. Allow exit code 1, but fail for exit code 2, missing output, or other failures.

We came across your repo and we like how you are using AI to build agents that can learn and improve over time through experience. We scanned the repo, and noticed agent runtime reliability findings that might be worth reviewing.
[HIGH] Path parameter used in I/O without validation
File: demo/filesystem/server.py
What it means: The tool accepts a path-like parameter and passes it to file or directory operations without resolving or sandboxing the path.
[HIGH] Skill processes sensitive data
File: explorations/agent-wiki/skills/agent-wiki-consult/SKILL.md
What it means: This skill's body or description names a sensitive data class — passwords, tokens, SSNs, credit card numbers, PII, or private keys — without stating what it does with that data beyond naming it.

Recommendations are based on our understanding of agent runtime reliability, some findings may be intentional. Please let us know if this was intentional or if our findings are helpful so we can improve the accuracy of the scanner.
