@gothsome Are you trying to copy a file local to the remote host or local to AWX? You’re trying to copy agent.cfg from /tmp/ to /root/, but delegate_to: localhost tells the module to run against the ansible controller (your awx job execution pod), which may not exist or be where you want this to run.

You might be trying to do this:

---
- name: copy
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: copy
      become: true
      ansible.builtin.copy:
        src: /tmp/agent.cfg
        dest: /root/agent.cfg
        owner: root
        group: root
        mode: '0644'
        remote_src: true
