agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize deviations in a

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent workflow by acting on the exact problem first: rerun the task to summarize deviations in a redlined NDA with retrieval limited to the signed document and its repository record, compare each output fact against the retrieved text, and flag mismatches for human review instead of saving invented details. Do not rerun the same attempt unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one run or task attempt first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize deviations in a redlined NDA error hallucination failure

Use this when

• The operation in the agent workflow fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize deviations in a redlined NDA error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An NDA task, counterparty step or repository filing is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The agent completes the task and you only disagree with the output wording or a legal judgement in the document. That is a legal owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure using one run or task attempt in the agent workflow and record the full problem text plus the record, signer or run involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: rerun the task to summarize deviations in a redlined NDA with retrieval limited to the signed document and its repository record, compare each output fact against the retrieved text, and flag mismatches for human review instead of saving invented details. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring records, templates or runs that share the same settings, template or schedule, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in the agent workflow on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the executed NDA, the counterparty record or the repository entry, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the workflow log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

How to fix - agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize deviations in a redlined NDA error hallucination failure

The how to phrasing for the same failure in the agent workflow. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Agent workflow troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

When retrieval returns little or no source text, the model fills the gaps from prior patterns instead of reporting missing data, so the output sounds complete while inventing parties, dates or clauses.

Edge cases

• The record, template or assignment changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other items. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template, setting or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The executed NDA governs wording, the counterparty record governs party details, and the workflow record governs status; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: current agent runtimes and the NDA, signature and repository tools the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in one on one summary agent by acting on the exact problem first: tie every claim in the summary to a line in the retrieved meeting notes, quote the action lines exactly as written, and remove any theme, decision or number that appears in no note line before the summary is used for prep. Do not rerun the same meeting sync or prep run unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one meeting, agenda or direct report first, then rerun the full scope and check the shared record.

Use this when

• The operation in one on one summary agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize the last one on one for prep error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A one on one agenda, talking point, action item or prep step is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The meeting completes and you only disagree with a people judgement such as a rating or a promotion call. That is a manager and people team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named meeting or direct report in one on one summary agent and record the full problem text plus the meeting, participants and date involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: tie every claim in the summary to a line in the retrieved meeting notes, quote the action lines exactly as written, and remove any theme, decision or number that appears in no note line before the summary is used for prep. Verify: the single failing meeting or agenda now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring meetings, reports or recurring occurrences that share the same template, calendar series or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one meeting. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.

5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the shared agenda record, the calendar event or the meeting notes, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the meeting prep log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

one on one summary agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A summary is the document a manager skims instead of the notes, so an invented decision inside it is acted on as if the report agreed to it in the meeting.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
• The single meeting proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other meetings. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or calendar series can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The shared agenda record governs talking points and action items, the calendar event governs time and attendees, and private notes govern only what their owner chose to share; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: one on one summary agent at current versions, plus the calendar, agenda or people tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in policy change summary agent by acting on the exact problem first: constrain every claim in the briefing to a clause retrieved from the policy change record, compare each cited date, audience and rule against that record, and delete any sentence whose wording appears in no retrieved clause. Do not resend the same announcement or rerun the same rollout unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one employee group or policy page first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Use this when

• The operation in policy change summary agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize policy changes for manager briefing error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A policy rollout, handbook acknowledgment, announcement or employee question is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a policy wording or eligibility judgement. That is a policy owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named employee group, policy page or announcement in policy change summary agent and record the full problem text plus the group, page or policy involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: constrain every claim in the briefing to a clause retrieved from the policy change record, compare each cited date, audience and rule against that record, and delete any sentence whose wording appears in no retrieved clause.

policy change summary agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Asked to summarize from memory of the rollout, an agent can invent plausible dates and exception changes, and comparing the briefing clause by clause against the change record is what catches invented wording before the briefing goes out.

Edge cases

• The policy was republished, the audience changed or a group was renamed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared audience, template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The published policy text governs wording, the HR roster governs audience and employment status, and the acknowledgment record governs who signed; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: policy change summary agent at current versions, plus the HR system, handbook or messaging tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
