Fixes this security questionnaire failure. Fix: Add a done-marker keyed by task ID so a completed task cannot restart, and cap the agent at one pass per task per run. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the workflow it names. Not for platform outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be resolved fi…
Fixes this SOC alert enrichment failure. Fix: Add a done-marker keyed by task ID so a completed task cannot restart, and cap the agent at one pass per task per run. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the workflow it names. Not for platform outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be resolved firs…
Fixes the CyberArk failure "agent loop in CyberArk account reconciliation: agent kept re-querying the same safe after " by acting on the exact message, proving the fix on one item, then rerunning and reconciling counts. Use when this error blocks an export, review or check. Not for platform outages or permission error…
Fixes an agent that loops forever repeating the schedule the dashboard delivery step by adding progress detection, a step budget and a state check before each retry. Use when run logs show the same step and the same tool call repeating without progress. Not for a legitimate long build whose steps keep changing.
Fixes an agent loop where the agent keeps repeating the same step to generate the SOC 2 evidence pack and fails, by adding progress checks, attempt limits and a changed strategy after repeated identical calls. Use when a run repeats one step without progress. Not for a single failed attempt that a normal retry fixes.
Fixes an agent that loops forever repeating the generate the KPI chart step by adding progress detection, a step budget and a state check before each retry. Use when run logs show the same step and the same tool call repeating without progress. Not for a legitimate long build whose steps keep changing.
Fixes an agent that loops forever repeating the build the Looker dashboard step by adding progress detection, a step budget and a state check before each retry. Use when run logs show the same step and the same tool call repeating without progress. Not for a legitimate long build whose steps keep changing.
Fixes an agent that loops forever repeating the pull Metabase query results step by adding progress detection, a step budget and a state check before each retry. Use when run logs show the same step and the same tool call repeating without progress. Not for a legitimate long build whose steps keep changing.
Fixes an agent loop where the agent keeps repeating the same step to revoke a stale IAM role and fails, by adding progress checks, attempt limits and a changed strategy after repeated identical calls. Use when a run repeats one step without progress. Not for a single failed attempt that a normal retry fixes.
Fixes an agent loop where the agent repeats the invite the user to GitHub step without progress and fails. Use when run logs show the same step attempted repeatedly. Not for legitimate retries with backoff that eventually succeed.

Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent ran the full e2e suite per candidate version instead of the affected subset - 4 hours per bump, 12 bumps deep - agent ran the full suite instead of the affected tests: how to scope
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent re-ran the full scope scan instead of retrying only the failed subset
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes a pentest agent's concurrent scans overwriting each other's output files, by giving every run its own output directory and filename namespace. Use when parallel scans of authorized targets produce missing or interleaved results. Not for sequential runs, where reuse of a working file may be deliberate and documen…
Breaks a pentest agent loop that keeps re-running the same errored nuclei template, by recording template failures and excluding a failed template until it changes. Use when the agent log shows one template erroring repeatedly during an authorized scan. Not for templates that fire findings successfully, which are supp…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent loop: re-running the same dbt model after no-op changes - agent keeps re-running nuclei scan that already failed on authorized target
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent looped re-running the same nuclei template after it errored
Problem outcome: unknown
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent re-scans the same authorized target after every timeout instead of skipping it - agent loop detected: ffuf fuzzing with the same wordlist failed on authorized endpoint
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: ffuf recursion reports the same findings at every depth on authorized target
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes gobuster failing with the first record does not look like a TLS handshake error by matching the URL scheme to the actual service on an authorized target. Use when gobuster dir or vhost mode hits this TLS error on an in-scope host. Not for genuine certificate validation failures, which produce a different message.
