agent loop detected: anomaly alert re-triggered infinitely failure error

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the anomaly detector by acting on the exact message first: add a stop condition: a visited set, a max attempts counter of 3, and a changed input requirement before any retry is allowed. 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.

agent loop detected: anomaly alert re-triggered infinitely failure error

Use this when

• The operation in the anomaly detector fails with this exact message: agent loop detected: anomaly alert re-triggered infinitely failure error.
• 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 anomaly detector, and copy the full message plus the item, user or metric 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: add a stop condition: a visited set, a max attempts counter of 3, and a changed input requirement before any retry is allowed. Verify: run the loop guard on the failing item and confirm it exits after the limit with a clear reason.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, ontology, baseline 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 anomaly detector 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 anomaly detector 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

A retry with identical inputs produces the identical failure; without a counter or state change the agent cycles forever on the same item.

How to fix: agent loop detected: anomaly alert re-triggered infinitely failure err

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

the anomaly detector troubleshooting for this failure

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 anomaly detector 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 synthetic data agent workflow by acting on the exact message first: find and fix the trigger that refires the job, usually a completion event the job itself emits, add a deduplication guard keyed on the input hash, and require a changed input before the job may run again for the same dataset. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one table, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent loop detected - synthetic data job re-triggered infinitely

Use this when

• The operation in synthetic data agent workflow fails with this exact message or symptom: agent loop detected - synthetic data job re-triggered infinitely.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Generation, validation or export is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an 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 quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in synthetic data agent workflow, and copy the full message plus the table, column or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: find and fix the trigger that refires the job, usually a completion event the job itself emits, add a deduplication guard keyed on the input hash, and require a changed input before the job may run again for the same dataset. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named column, table or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring tables, columns or jobs that share the same config, schema 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. Rerun the original operation in synthetic data agent workflow 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.
5. Compare the result counts, distributions or status against the source in synthetic data agent workflow 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

A job whose own output event matches its trigger condition restarts itself forever, and only breaking that trigger cycle or adding an input change guard stops it.
