Fixes an agent workflow failure behind this query: shrink what the agent carries: summarise the incident history into a compact state block, drop raw logs and full timelines from context, and split the workflow so each step starts with only the state it needs. Use when an automated status page run fails with this patt…

Fixes an agent stuck retrying a webhook subscription that returns 404 by treating persistent 404 as a terminal state, deleting or recreating the subscription correctly, and alerting. Use when retry logs show endless 404s. Not for intermittent 404s during a provider deploy.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent failed to detect the duplicate: cached the stale company list - agent's top-to-bottom execution failed: outputs reference stale variables, wrong results
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent failed to detect stale cmdb data and patched wrong hosts

Shows how to recover when an agent invents a plausible Fivetran connector id, and how to ground agent work in the Fivetran API list endpoints before any per connector call. Use when a sync check fails on a connector that cannot be found. Not for a real connector that was deleted by a teammate mid incident.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent deleted "unattached" EBS volumes, they were boot volumes of stopped dev machines - agent deleted old migration files thinking they were stale - now new environments cant bootstrap

Fixes ENI cleanup that deletes failover-reserved interfaces by excluding reserved and recently used ENIs. Use when unattached ENIs reserved for failover are deleted by cleanup. Not for genuinely abandoned ENIs.
Fixes a tag-based shutdown that kills production on a tag typo by requiring exact-match validation and a production exclusion. Use when a tag typo causes a shutdown agent to target production. Not for correctly tagged resources.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - cost agent stopped the wrong RDS instances - it matched DB tags by substring and killed the prod replica - [agent's cleanup script terminated the wrong EC2 instances - tag filter "env: dev-" matched …
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent's tag-based shutdown matched env:prod — a typo'd tag killed

Fixes an AMI cleanup rule that deletes golden images by protecting DR-critical AMIs with tags and approvals. Use when an AMI deletion rule removes disaster-recovery golden images. Not for deleting genuinely obsolete AMIs.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent deleted old AMIs, the launch templates referenced them and autoscaling broke Monday morning - agent broke the audit ruleset while patching a policy threshold
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent's delete old AMIs rule broke disaster recovery — the gol

Recovers from a cleanup that deleted a bastion's security group by restoring access and excluding infrastructure security groups from deletion. Use when a cost agent's cleanup deletes a security group that was actually in use. Not for intentionally removed groups.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent grouped a security patch with a major upgrade; the security fix couldn't ship until the major's breakage was fixed - [cost agent deleted EBS snapshots it thought were orphaned - the "owner: non…
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: cost agent's unused security group was the bastion's — lockout aft

Fixes a cost agent that recommends deleting the last NAT gateway in an AZ by requiring a redundancy check before any gateway deletion. Use when an agent flags the only NAT gateway in an AZ for deletion. Not for gateways that genuinely have redundant peers.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent flagged "duplicate" NAT gateways across AZs - it didn't know the second one is the HA pair - [agent cited section '14.3' for the indemnity clause - the contract only goes to 14.2 and the model …
