Fixes agent failed to complete the job to search systems for a requester's personal data in the work covered by this query by taking the specific step below first. Use when this exact failure blocks collection, review, or fulfilment. Not for outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be cleared first.

Fixes an agent reconciliation summary that cited transactions not in the source file, with hallucinated matches in the exception report: invalidate the report, re-derive every cited match from the source data, and add citation verification to the agent's reporting step. Use when an agent's narrative output invents tra…
Fixes an agent Advanced Hunting query exceeding the row limit and returning truncated campaign evidence, by paging and narrowing the query. Use when hunting results for a campaign are incomplete in Defender data. Not for queries that fail with syntax errors.
Fixes an agent IOC matching failure caused by defanged hxxps URLs never being normalised before a threat feed lookup, by refanging and canonicalising indicators first. Use when known bad URLs miss in the agent feed checks. Not for feed outages where lookups error rather than return no match.

Handles a triage run failing when the mailbox search API returns empty results mid-campaign, by distinguishing a true empty result from a failed or malformed query. Use when search-based sweeps intermittently return zero results for mail known to exist. Not for mailboxes that genuinely contain no matching mail.

How to recover when an agent ran a codemod over test fixtures and the golden files no longer match: deciding whether to revert the fixtures or regenerate them deliberately, and excluding fixtures from future runs. Use when a codemod rewrote files it should not have touched. Not for golden files that are wrong for othe…

A guide to fixing stale Intercom conversation state in agent search results, in the business-apis-integrations category: read-your-writes consistency, cache invalidation, and freshness checks.

Use when the same vulnerability gets triaged twice under its GHSA and CVE identifiers. Covers alias-aware dedup via OSV/GitHub advisory aliases and merging the duplicate tickets. Not for genuinely distinct CVEs.
