Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's session token expired mid-run: auth error, kept retrying unauthenticated - agent's session expired mid-export and it kept querying unauthenticated: auth error
Problem outcome: unknown

Check the branch still exists before each poll and exit with a clear deleted-branch result when the branch lookup returns not found, because the agent is polling a deployment whose branch was deleted, so the status will never advance and the poll has no terminal state to reach. Use when you see this exact failure: age…

Treat a deleted run as a terminal discovery, not a polling target: the agent polls a Kubeflow run that no longer exists, so confirm the deletion from the run list, stop the poll, and report the run as deleted with whatever artifacts survive in storage. Use when an agent workflow monitoring Kubeflow pipeline runs to co…
Stop polling a terminal state: the Airbyte job was cancelled, and cancelled is final, so read the job status once, treat cancelled and failed as terminal in the polling logic, and exit with the job outcome instead of waiting for a success that cannot come. Use when an agent workflow that starts Airbyte syncs and waits…

Public search query: agent loop detected: polling Chalk deployment status forever after branch deleted error
Problem outcome: unknown
Break the loop with a terminal-state check the agent trusts: it kept re-querying because its completion test never matched, usually comparing status strings case-sensitively, checking a field the API returns under another name, or polling a stale cached response. Use when an agent waiting on MLflow or tracker runs to …

Poll with a budget and a heartbeat check instead of a single long wait: query the run's status at lengthening intervals, verify liveness from the job system as well as the tracker, and when the budget ends report the run's last known state rather than failing as if the run failed. Use when an agent supervising long tr…

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 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 a release workflow that fails when the Metabase API times out while the agent tries to pull Metabase query results, by making the workflow poll for completion and resume partial work. Use when the workflow reports a timeout error for a step that may have finished server side. Not for a workflow failing on invali…
Fixes a release workflow that fails when the Looker API 4.0 times out while the agent tries to build the Looker dashboard, by making the workflow poll for completion and resume partial work. Use when the workflow reports a timeout error for a step that may have finished server side. Not for a workflow failing on inval…

Fixes an agent looping because the ERP keeps returning the same 500 unapplied payments every call: detect the repetition, change the query to a diff or paged scan, and treat the unapplied list as a data set to work through, not an endless feed. Use when the same records repeat on every poll. Not when new unapplied pay…
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.
