[deep-report] Implement GitHub MCP rate-limit circuit breaker — first rate-limit event detected Apr 14 #26239

Description

The MCP Structural Analysis report (Apr 14) detected the first-ever GitHub MCP installation rate limit event: 4 tools hit the 15,000 request/reset limit simultaneously. This is a new risk category that didn't exist in prior analyses. Without a circuit breaker or throttling strategy, high-frequency workflows could trigger cascading rate limits across multiple agents.

Expected Impact

Implementing a circuit breaker (either at the workflow level or in the MCP proxy layer) will prevent the rate-limit event from cascading into widespread agent failures. This protects the 191-workflow ecosystem from a single high-consumption run disrupting all MCP-dependent workflows.

Suggested Agent

Agentic Maintenance agent — review the gh-aw-mcpg proxy configuration, identify which 4 tools hit the rate limit, and propose either request throttling, request deduplication, or a per-workflow request budget cap.

Estimated Effort

Medium (1-4 hours) — investigation + configuration change + compile
