Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in day one tools list agent by acting on the exact problem first: scope the build to the hire role and team first, pull only those inventory segments within a fixed step budget, deliver the core list on time, and add nice to have tools in a second pass only if budget remains. Do not rerun the whole onboarding flow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one hire or one task first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

agent timed out when agent tried to build a day one tools list for a new hire error timeout failure

Use this when

• The operation in day one tools list agent fails with this exact problem: agent timed out when agent tried to build a day one tools list for a new hire error timeout failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A new hire start, an onboarding task, a first day step or a first week plan 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 an HR policy call such as eligibility or a start date decision. That is a people team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named hire or task in day one tools list agent and record the full problem text plus the hire, task or start 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: scope the build to the hire role and team first, pull only those inventory segments within a fixed step budget, deliver the core list on time, and add nice to have tools in a second pass only if budget remains. Verify: the single failing hire or task now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring hires, tasks or start dates that share the same template, checklist or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one hire. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in day one tools list agent 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 HRIS hire record, the signed offer or the current handbook page, 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 onboarding 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 timed out when agent tried to build a day one tools list for a new hire error timeout failure

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

day one tools list 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

Pulling the entire company inventory to build one hire list spends the budget on tools the hire will never touch, while role scoped pulling finishes the list the first day actually needs.

Edge cases

• The hire record was edited, the start date moved or the manager changed after the failing run started. Refresh the hire state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single hire proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other hires. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The HRIS hire record governs who the hire is and when they start, the signed offer governs terms, and the current handbook governs policy wording; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: day one tools list agent at current versions, plus the HRIS, handbook or onboarding tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in day one tools list agent by acting on the exact problem first: build the tools list source by source, the app inventory first, then team tools, then role specific tools, saving each finished section in a run file with a per section time budget, and resume from the first unsaved section after any timeout.

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

Assembling the whole list in one pass holds every source until the end, so a timeout on the last source discards finished sections that took most of the run to gather.

Edge cases

• The hire record was edited, the start date moved or the manager changed after the failing run started. Refresh the hire state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single hire proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other hires. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or schedule can hide more than one cause.

TL;DR

Fix this in day one tools list agent by acting on the exact problem first: wait for the admin dashboard tool list to finish loading, cross check it against the app inventory view when entries disagree, and verify each listed tool opens for a sample hire account before the list is sent to the new hire.

day one tools list 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

Admin dashboards render tool lists in stages and can show tools the hire licence tier cannot open, so a list copied from a half loaded dashboard sends hires to tools that fail on first click.

Edge cases

• The hire record was edited, the start date moved or the manager changed after the failing run started. Refresh the hire state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single hire proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other hires. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
