scraper failed returning empty results when agent tried to draft a remediation

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this by acting on the exact problem first: check what the scraper actually returned when trying to draft a remediation request for a high risk vendor on one vendor, update it to wait for the page content to load and to read the current page structure, and confirm it returns the expected vendor fields instead of an empty set before the full run. Do not rerun the same operation unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one agent run for one vendor first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

scraper failed returning empty results when agent tried to draft a remediation request for a high risk vendor error scraping failure

Use this when

• The operation in the agent workflow fails with this exact problem: scraper failed returning empty results when agent tried to draft a remediation request for a high risk vendor error scraping failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A vendor risk review, questionnaire, screening or vendor record update 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 a risk judgement or a tier decision. That is a risk owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named agent run for one vendor in the agent workflow and record the full problem text plus the vendor, record or report 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: check what the scraper actually returned when trying to draft a remediation request for a high risk vendor on one vendor, update it to wait for the page content to load and to read the current page structure, and confirm it returns the expected vendor fields instead of an empty set before the full run. Verify: the single failing agent run for one vendor now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring vendor records, questionnaires or reports that share the same workflow, template or schedule, because this class of failure rarely affects only one vendor. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in the agent workflow 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 vendor supplied document, the questionnaire response or the risk 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 vendor record or review 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 - scraper failed returning empty results when agent tried to draft a remediation request for a high risk vendor error scraping failure

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

The agent workflow 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

Scrapers return empty results when a page loads its content late, changes its structure or requires an active session, and an agent that treats an empty result as a real answer continues as if no vendor data exists.

Edge cases

• The vendor record, questionnaire version or portal page changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other vendors. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared workflow, template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The vendor supplied document governs what the vendor attested, the risk tool record governs the stored score or status, and the procurement record governs vendor identity and lifecycle status; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: The agent workflow at current versions, plus the vendor risk, procurement or source system the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent workflow by acting on the exact problem first: replace the scrape with the repository or template API for the task to draft a mutual NDA from the approved template where one is available, fall back to the page scrape only for missing fields, and verify one returned record matches the source before continuing. Do not rerun the same attempt unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one run or task attempt first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

scraper failed returning empty results when agent tried to draft a mutual NDA from the approved template error scraping failure

Use this when

• The operation in the agent workflow fails with this exact problem: scraper failed returning empty results when agent tried to draft a mutual NDA from the approved template error scraping failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An NDA task, counterparty step or repository filing 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 agent completes the task and you only disagree with the output wording or a legal judgement in the document. That is a legal owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure using one run or task attempt in the agent workflow and record the full problem text plus the record, signer or run 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: replace the scrape with the repository or template API for the task to draft a mutual NDA from the approved template where one is available, fall back to the page scrape only for missing fields, and verify one returned record matches the source before continuing. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring records, templates or runs that share the same settings, template or schedule, 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 the agent workflow 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 executed NDA, the counterparty record or the repository entry, 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 workflow log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Agent workflow 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 changed page structure, an empty filtered view or a sign in redirect makes the scraper read a page with no records, so it returns empty results instead of an error.

Edge cases

• The record, template or assignment changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other items. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template, setting or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The executed NDA governs wording, the counterparty record governs party details, and the workflow record governs status; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: current agent runtimes and the NDA, signature and repository tools the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
