agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize pulse surve

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in pulse survey comment summarisation agent by acting on the exact problem first: constrain every theme the agent reports to comments it actually retrieved, require supporting comment references for each theme, recompute theme counts from those references, and reject any theme whose count or wording appears in no retrieved comment. Do not rerun the same survey, report or export unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one survey, team or department first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize pulse survey comments into themes error hallucination failure

Use this when

• The operation in pulse survey comment summarisation agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize pulse survey comments into themes error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A survey launch, results dashboard, manager report or action 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 interpretation call such as which driver to prioritise. That is a people analytics judgement, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named survey, team or department in pulse survey comment summarisation agent and record the full problem text plus the survey, team or period 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: constrain every theme the agent reports to comments it actually retrieved, require supporting comment references for each theme, recompute theme counts from those references, and reject any theme whose count or wording appears in no retrieved comment. Verify: the single failing survey, team or department now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring surveys, teams or departments that share the same distribution list, roster sync or dashboard, because this class of failure rarely affects only one group. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in pulse survey comment summarisation 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 raw response record, the HR roster record or the survey platform record, 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 survey run 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 hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize pulse survey comments into themes error hallucination failure

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

pulse survey comment summarisation 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

Asked to summarise a large comment set, an agent can invent a plausible theme that sounds like staff feedback, and reference level checking is the only way to separate retrieved themes from invented ones before leaders read them.

Edge cases

• The survey was reopened, the roster was resynced or a team was restructured after the failing run started. Refresh the survey state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared distribution list or dashboard can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The raw response record governs response counts, the HR roster governs who was invited, and the platform record governs what was sent or shown; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: pulse survey comment summarisation agent at current versions, plus the survey platform, roster or reporting tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in one on one summary agent by acting on the exact problem first: tie every claim in the summary to a line in the retrieved meeting notes, quote the action lines exactly as written, and remove any theme, decision or number that appears in no note line before the summary is used for prep. Do not rerun the same meeting sync or prep run unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one meeting, agenda or direct report first, then rerun the full scope and check the shared record.

Use this when

• The operation in one on one summary agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for summarize the last one on one for prep error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A one on one agenda, talking point, action item or prep 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 meeting completes and you only disagree with a people judgement such as a rating or a promotion call. That is a manager and people team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named meeting or direct report in one on one summary agent and record the full problem text plus the meeting, participants and 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: tie every claim in the summary to a line in the retrieved meeting notes, quote the action lines exactly as written, and remove any theme, decision or number that appears in no note line before the summary is used for prep.

one on one summary 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

A summary is the document a manager skims instead of the notes, so an invented decision inside it is acted on as if the report agreed to it in the meeting.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
• The single meeting proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other meetings. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or calendar series can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The shared agenda record governs talking points and action items, the calendar event governs time and attendees, and private notes govern only what their owner chose to share; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: one on one summary agent at current versions, plus the calendar, agenda or people tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

Fix this in engagement results export agent by acting on the exact problem first: constrain every score and comment count in a manager export to a record the agent retrieved from the results dashboard, list the source team record beside each exported figure, and block an export whose figure matches no dashboard record for that team. Do not rerun the same survey, report or export unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure.

engagement results export 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

A manager export assembled from partial views can carry a plausible score for the wrong team, which is worse than a missing file, so each figure needs a retrieved dashboard record behind it before managers act on it.

Edge cases

• The survey was reopened, the roster was resynced or a team was restructured after the failing run started. Refresh the survey state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared distribution list or dashboard can hide more than one cause.
