agent failed to map soda checks to dbt tests after yaml key rename error failed

Rebuild the mapping from the current files: a Soda YAML key rename changed the check identifiers the agent mapped to dbt tests, so regenerate the mapping by parsing both current files instead of patching the stale map by hand. Use when an agent workflow that keeps Soda checks and dbt tests in sync for the same tables.…

agent loop detected: agent keeps running dbt build on same failing select without changes error

Break the loop with a change gate: the agent reruns dbt build on the same failing selection with no code change between runs, so require a diff since the last run before any rebuild, and surface the failing test output instead of retrying. Use when an agent workflow that builds and tests dbt models and retries on fail…

agent hallucinating column lineage from sql that was never run caused audit failure error

Ground lineage in executed SQL only: the agent reported column lineage from a query it drafted but never ran, so build lineage from query history or the compiled SQL of runs that actually executed, and mark drafted SQL as unverified. Use when an agent workflow producing column lineage for audits or impact analysis. No…

agent timed out when agent tried to run elementary report generation on full project error

Bound the report before you run it: Elementary report generation over a full project loads every test result and artifact into one process, so generate the report for a selected set of models or a shorter window, and run it outside the agent session. Use when an agent workflow that generates Elementary data quality re…

when agent tried to backfill dbt snapshots agent triggered downstream test failure error

Snapshot backfills are model changes, not free reruns: backfilling dbt snapshots rewrites history rows that downstream tests assert on, so backfill in a separate target first, diff the snapshot, and only then run it where downstream tests will judge it. Use when an agent workflow backfilling dbt snapshots after a sour…

context overflow failure agent couldnt fit run results for 2000 tests in prompt error

Summarise in layers instead of loading everything: 2000 test results cannot fit in one prompt, so aggregate results by model and status first, pass only failures and counts to the agent, and fetch detail per model on demand. Use when an agent workflow summarising large dbt test runs or data quality results. Not for a …

agent failed to complete dbt test run error timeout on large model

Bound the agent's test run before raising its timeout: select the changed models and their tests instead of the whole project, build with a state selection or a limited target sample for the test pass, and split the run so model builds and tests report separately. Use when an agent whose dbt test run times out on a la…

uniqueness test failure error: duplicate business keys found in dim table

Duplicate business keys in a dimension table mean the dimension's grain broke: identify the duplicated keys, check whether a source started sending multiple active records per key or a slowly changing dimension lost its current-row filter, and rebuild the dimension at the correct grain. Use when a dimension table with…

how to fix duplicate primary key failure error on incremental model run

Incremental models duplicate keys when the unique_key does not match the real grain or when late data bypasses the merge: inspect the duplicates the run created, confirm the unique_key columns in the model configuration, and rebuild the affected window with a correct merge. Use when an incremental dbt model producing …

dbt test failed: unique_combination_of_columns failed with duplicate keys error

Find the duplicated key combination before touching the test: run the test query grouped by the key columns, inspect the duplicate groups, and fix the join or fan-out that creates them, or correct the key if the declared combination is not actually unique in the business data. Use when a dbt model whose declared uniqu…
