Breaking agent forwarding in Ansible on Vagrant

Using Ansible to provision Vagrant box, Ansible fails when cloning Git repo: Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.. Oddly I can clone from Git with no issues when I SSH into the box and run git clone <GIT_URL>. Have set sudo: no in Ansible task but still fails. ssh-agent is running correctly on both host and box.

Host key verification failed.

is not related to the agent forwarding. As noted in the comments, it is related to the known_hosts file.

Before the first connection to the server (github.com), you need to manually verify it's host key, or use similar process as noted in comments, using keyscan:

ssh-keyscan -H github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

The other (not recommended) possibility is to turn off the host key verification in the ~/.ssh/config:

Host git
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null

in the home directory of the user running the git clone.
