agent hallucinating figures not in source data for schedule a five

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in interview panel agent by acting on the exact problem first: require the agent to propose panel slots only from retrieved free busy records, add a check that compares every proposed slot against those records for all five interviewers, and delete any slot in the plan that has no matching source record. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one candidate first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

agent hallucinating figures not in source data for schedule a five person interview panel

Use this when

• The operation in interview panel agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating figures not in source data for schedule a five person interview panel.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An interview, a panel booking or a candidate confirmation 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 interview completes and you only disagree with a hiring decision such as advancing a candidate. That is a hiring call, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named candidate in interview panel agent and record the full problem text plus the candidate, requisition or panel 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: require the agent to propose panel slots only from retrieved free busy records, add a check that compares every proposed slot against those records for all five interviewers, and delete any slot in the plan that has no matching source record. Verify: the single failing candidate now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring candidates, panels or requisitions that share the same automation, template or calendar sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one candidate. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in interview panel 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 ATS candidate record, the interviewer calendars or the booked calendar event, 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 candidate record 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 hallucinating figures not in source data for schedule a five person interview panel error hallucination failure

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

interview panel 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

When a calendar lookup returns empty, an agent can fill the gap with a plausible slot, and only a source comparison check separates retrieved availability from invented availability.

Edge cases

• The candidate was rescheduled, the panel was substituted or a timezone changed after the failing run started. Refresh the candidate state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single candidate proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other candidates. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared automation can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The ATS candidate record governs stage and panel assignment, the interviewer calendars govern availability, and the booked calendar event governs the interview time; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: interview panel agent at current versions, plus the ATS, calendar or video platform the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in candidate self schedule agent by acting on the exact problem first: constrain the link windows to the availability windows retrieved from interviewer calendars, validate each window on the created link against a retrieved window, and recreate the link when it offers a time nobody is actually available. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one candidate first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

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

An agent drafting link windows from a typical working week invents times the pool never offered, and window by window validation against retrieved availability is the guard that stops it.

Edge cases

• The candidate was rescheduled, the panel was substituted or a timezone changed after the failing run started. Refresh the candidate state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single candidate proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other candidates. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared automation can hide more than one cause.

TL;DR

Fix this in close task chasing agent by acting on the exact problem first: require every overdue claim to cite a task record retrieved from the tracker with its owner and due date, compare each cited task against that tracker before notifying, and drop any task, owner or date that appears in no tracker row. Do not rerun the whole close unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account or period first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Use this when

• The operation in close task chasing agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating figures not in source data for chase overdue close tasks and notify owners error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A close task, reconciliation, journal or reporting step 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 accounting judgement such as an estimate or a materiality call. That is a controller decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named account or period in close task chasing agent and record the full problem text plus the account, period or journal 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: require every overdue claim to cite a task record retrieved from the tracker with its owner and due date, compare each cited task against that tracker before notifying, and drop any task, owner or date that appears in no tracker row.

close task chasing 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

When a tracker lookup returns empty or partial rows, an agent can invent plausible overdue tasks and owners, and a row level comparison is the only check that separates retrieved tasks from invented ones.

Edge cases

• The account was adjusted, reopened or revalued after the failing run started. Refresh the account state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single account proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other accounts. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared checklist or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The signed general ledger record governs posted amounts, the subledger governs its detail, and the bank record governs cash; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: close task chasing agent at current versions, plus the general ledger, subledger or close tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
