agent couldn't read security questionnaire export file error failed parsing

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent workflow for security questionnaire by acting on the exact message first: check the export file encoding and format with a validator, re-export in the documented format, and read the file back immediately after writing as a smoke check. 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 couldn't read security questionnaire export file error failed parsing

Use this when

• The operation in the agent workflow for security questionnaire fails with this exact message: agent couldn't read security questionnaire export file error failed parsing.
• 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 agent workflow for security questionnaire, 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: check the export file encoding and format with a validator, re-export in the documented format, and read the file back immediately after writing as a smoke check. Verify: the re-exported file validates and the read-back count matches the source count.
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.
5. Rerun the original operation in the agent workflow for security questionnaire 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 file was written in a different encoding or a partial format than the reader expects, and nothing validated it at write time.

TL;DR

Fix this in the parser for the answer library export CSV by acting on the exact message first: before parsing the answer library export CSV, check the delimiter and quoting with a CSV validator, then re-export with quoted text fields and a single header row; keep the original file untouched so the parse can be replayed. 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 parser assumed a clean, current format, and the real answer library export CSV broke one of those assumptions, so parsing stopped at the first bad structure instead of reporting it.

TL;DR

Fix this in synthetic data agent workflow by acting on the exact message first: identify the real file format from its first bytes and header before parsing, decompress it if it is an archive, detect encoding and delimiter from evidence, and parse a hundred rows successfully before attempting the full file. 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 could not read synthetic data export file - parsing failed

Use this when

• The operation in synthetic data agent workflow fails with this exact message or symptom: agent could not read synthetic data export file - parsing failed.
• 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: identify the real file format from its first bytes and header before parsing, decompress it if it is an archive, detect encoding and delimiter from evidence, and parse a hundred rows successfully before attempting the full file. 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

Export files arrive compressed, re encoded or in a sibling format such as parquet named as csv, and parsing on assumption fails where a header inspection succeeds.
