agent timed out when agent tried to dedupe enriched leads against existing

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in Enrichment agent by acting on the exact message first: precompute a domain to parent index from the provider company tree, look domains up in that index in batches, cache every result, and checkpoint the batch so a timeout resumes mid list. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Agent timed out matching subsidiaries to parents for an 800 domain enrichment batch

Use this when

• The operation in Enrichment agent fails with this exact message: Agent timed out matching subsidiaries to parents for an 800 domain enrichment batch.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or platform outage notice. 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 Enrichment agent, and copy the full message plus the record, account or list involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named record, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: precompute a domain to parent index from the provider company tree, look domains up in that index in batches, cache every result, and checkpoint the batch so a timeout resumes mid list. Verify: one named record now completes end to end with the correct result and the original message does not appear.
3. Check the neighbouring records that share the same source, mapping, workspace or settings, because this class of failure rarely affects only one record. Verify: the neighbouring records are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, fields or alerts against the source in Enrichment agent 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 Enrichment agent 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 record so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Resolving the parent by live lookup for each of eight hundred domains, many sharing the same parent, repeated the slowest work hundreds of times.

How to fix this failure in Enrichment agent

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

Troubleshooting this failure in Enrichment agent

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: Enrichment agent at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in Enrichment agent by acting on the exact message first: only clear the enriched flag after a confirmed successful sync, store a per lead attempt count with a cap of three, and send leads that hit the cap to a review queue instead of looping. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Agent loop detected, re enriching the same leads after a sync failure reset the enriched flag

Use this when

• The operation in Enrichment agent fails with this exact message: Agent loop detected, re enriching the same leads after a sync failure reset the enriched flag.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

Why it happens

The failure path reset the flag that marks work done, so every retry selected the same leads again and the agent never moved past them.

Fix this in Dedupe agent by acting on the exact message first: block candidate pairs by email, domain and name key first, compare only within each small block, and write merge decisions per block before loading the next. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Context window exceeded comparing duplicate candidates across 5000 lead pairs at once

Use this when

• The operation in Dedupe agent fails with this exact message: Context window exceeded comparing duplicate candidates across 5000 lead pairs at once.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

• 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 Dedupe agent, and copy the full message plus the record, account or list involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named record, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: block candidate pairs by email, domain and name key first, compare only within each small block, and write merge decisions per block before loading the next.

Why it happens

Pairwise comparison grows far faster than the list itself, and loading every candidate pair together overflowed the window before any merge was decided.
