…fails The first preflight run returned 403 on both ARA checks with no way to tell why, because the step printed only status codes. A failing ARA call now prints the gateway's error text, flattened and capped at 300 chars. Those messages name the cause directly -- wrong account tier, missing allow_access on ara-rule -- and carry no credential material. A successful body is still never printed.

The actor allowlist gates who may run the job, separately from who may dispatch the workflow. renanaAkeyless owns the ARA migration and needs to run the preflight checks without routing every attempt through another maintainer. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The preflight run returned 403 on all three checks with an HTML body: <!doctype html>...<title>403</title>403 Forbidden. Akeyless answers errors as plain text via http.Error, so that page came from a load balancer or WAF and the requests never reached the gateway. Check 1 was passing on exactly that response, reading an edge 403 as proof that the dynamic-secret read had been revoked. It now fails as inconclusive, which is what it always should have done. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Every preflight request from a GitHub-hosted runner came back as an HTML 403 from Google Front End, on /api/v2 as well as /config/target_query. The same paths answer 400 and 401 from inside our network, so the gateway is healthy and the load balancer is refusing the runner's IP. The old flow never hit this: it read the dynamic secret from public SaaS via the Akeyless action, which defaults to api.akeyless.io. ARA is the first thing in this workflow that needs the private gateway. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

The first ARA preflight run failed with no way to act on it:
The step printed only status codes, so a 403 could not be attributed to a cause. Reading the gateway, several distinct failures converge on 403 and the response body is the only thing that separates them.
Change
A failing ARA check now prints the gateway error text, newlines flattened and capped at 300 characters. The gateway answers
/config/target_queryerrors withhttp.Error, so the body is plain text and needs no parsing.A successful body is still never printed — it could carry a secret value if a check unexpectedly passes.
The error strings this exposes name the cause directly (
runtime authority is not available for your account tier,missing allow_access capability on ara-rule) and carry no credential material.Why the body is needed
ara-rulesurfaces as 500, not 403 — the denial is a bare error with no status text, so it falls back toStatusInternalServerError. The UAM handler returns 200 with an empty capability list forARARulerather than denying, so this path is reachable and distinct.TierByProduct[AgenticRuntimeAuthorityProduct]specifically, and also fires when the gateway cannot fetch account details at all (empty tier).Status 403 Forbiddenalso maps to 403 via substring match.The printed text separates these in a single run.
Validation
actionlintclean.bash -ewith a stubbedcurl: the observed 403 case, a missing-ara-rule500 case, and the happy path. Both failure modes now name themselves; the happy path exits 0 and does not print the response body.Note
This branch carries only the diagnostic change. The preflight step itself is still marked
TEMPORARYand must be deleted before the agent flow is considered done.Made with Cursor
