agent failed error while checking security questionnaire status failed j

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the Whistic status sync by acting on the exact message first: in Whistic open the sync status for the completed questionnaire, fix the failed status update shown there, push the completed state again, and confirm the customer view as the customer role. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Whistic sync error completed questionnaire still shows in progress to customer

Use this when

• The operation in the Whistic status sync fails with this exact message: Whistic sync error completed questionnaire still shows in progress to customer.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the Whistic status sync, and copy the full message plus the questionnaire, answer or evidence item involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: in Whistic open the sync status for the completed questionnaire, fix the failed status update shown there, push the completed state again, and confirm the customer view as the customer role. Verify: the customer view shows the questionnaire as completed with the completion date.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, template, feed or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the Whistic status sync so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the Whistic status sync on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the completion state updated on your side but the status push to the customer view failed, leaving the customer copy stuck at in progress.

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

Compatibility: the Whistic status sync at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond a text editor and the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent workflow for security questionnaire by acting on the exact message first: poll the job status endpoint with backoff until it returns a terminal state, and treat a failed status read as unknown (keep polling) rather than as job failure. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in the agent workflow for security questionnaire fails with this exact message: agent failed error while checking security questionnaire status failed job.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

2. Apply the specific fix for this error: poll the job status endpoint with backoff until it returns a terminal state, and treat a failed status read as unknown (keep polling) rather than as job failure. Verify: the status check returns the real terminal state of a test job.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, template, feed or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the agent workflow for security questionnaire so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.

6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

one failed status read was treated as the job result, so healthy jobs were reported as failed whenever the status call hiccuped.

Fix this in the questionnaire agent run by acting on the exact message first: lock approved answers against agent edits by recording an approved hash per answer, skip any answer whose current text still matches its approved hash, and report SME edits the agent must not overwrite. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

the agent regenerated answers from the library without checking for later human edits, so each run overwrote SME work with the older library text.
