Add ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID to user-agent string by Copilot · Pull Request #695 · actions/github-script

Copilot · 2026-01-06T21:02:45Z

Implementation Plan

Changes Made

Updated orchestration ID format in src/main.ts:

Changed from orchestration-id/${sanitized} to actions_orchestration_id/${sanitized}
This aligns with the expected naming convention

Example user-agent string:

actions/github-script actions_orchestration_id/5b37aec4-4d4a-4be1-8756-c1adf0e55d26 octokit-core.js/5.0.1 Node.js/24

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.

Just as a heads up, I was blocked by some firewall rules while working on your feedback. Expand below for details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

iojs.org
- Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -q --fail --compressed -L -s REDACTED -o - (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

@copilot move the helper method to the end of the file

Moved the helper method to the end of the file in commit 8a9be95

@copilot why we need this? please undo

Reverted package-lock.json changes in commit 8a9be95. The "peer": true flags were added by npm during the initial setup and are not needed.

@copilot replace invalid string with _

Updated to replace invalid characters with underscore instead of removing them in commit 135f4fc

Example: test@#$123 now becomes test___123 instead of test123

Pull request overview

This PR adds the ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID environment variable to the user-agent string when making GitHub API requests. The orchestration ID is sanitized to ensure it only contains valid characters (alphanumeric, dots, dashes, and underscores) before being appended to the user-agent string in the format orchestration-id/{sanitized_id}.

Key changes:

Added getUserAgentWithOrchestrationId helper function to read, sanitize, and append the orchestration ID to the user-agent string
Modified user-agent construction in main() to always use a base user-agent and append orchestration ID when available
Applied sanitization that replaces invalid characters with underscores

Reviewed changes

File	Description
src/main.ts	Added getUserAgentWithOrchestrationId function and integrated it into the main function's user-agent construction logic

@copilot check CI failure and see if we need to fix our code or update the test

Fixed the CI failure in commit c36bdc0. The Integration test was failing because when user-agent was explicitly set to an empty string, the code was defaulting to "actions/github-script" instead of using an empty string. Updated the logic to correctly distinguish between:

Empty string input → use empty string (no prefix)
No input provided → default to "actions/github-script"

@copilot i think we should update the tests.

Fixed the CI failure in commit [c36bdc0](c36bdc0a3af49bb7e233...

Updated the integration test in commit c0078b2 to expect 'actions/github-script' prefix even when user-agent is set to an empty string. Also simplified the user-agent logic to always default empty input to 'actions/github-script' for consistency.

@copilot should be actions_orchestration_id/${sanitized}

Updated the format to actions_orchestration_id/${sanitized} in commit b67a972.
