context overflow when agent tried to route an escalated post to a mod

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in escalated post routing agent by acting on the exact problem first: route from the escalated post, its flag reasons and a one paragraph member summary, fetching deeper history only after assignment if the moderator asks, because assignment needs severity and ownership, not the member entire history. Do not rerun the whole job or queue unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one post, thread, report or batch first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Context overflow routing an escalated post with full account history

Use this when

• The operation in escalated post routing agent fails with this exact message or symptom: Context overflow routing an escalated post with full account history.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Moderation, routing, auditing or a member facing community task is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a moderation judgment or content quality. That is a policy review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in escalated post routing agent, and copy the full message plus the post, thread, report or member involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: route from the escalated post, its flag reasons and a one paragraph member summary, fetching deeper history only after assignment if the moderator asks, because assignment needs severity and ownership, not the member entire history. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named post, thread or report behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring posts, threads, reports or members that share the same setting, rule or workflow, 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 escalated post routing 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.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in escalated post routing agent so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Loading full account history for one routing decision overflows context and delays an urgent assignment behind data the decision never uses.

How to fix - context overflow when agent tried to route an escalated post to a moderator with full account history error context limit failure

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

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.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different item, treat that item as a new instance, record its scope separately, and apply the same steps rather than widening the first fix blindly.
• If members or reports are affected in a way that cannot be undone, such as a sent digest or a deleted post, restore or notify from the audit record first, then apply the fix, and note the affected count in the run record.
• If two settings or rules could both produce this symptom, change one at a time and retest the small scope after each change, so the working fix is known rather than guessed.

Compatibility: escalated post routing agent at current versions, plus the admin console, moderation queue or API the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in moderation queue triage agent by acting on the exact problem first: triage from a per report summary instead of full account history, loading only the flagged post, the report reason and the member recent actions, and paging older history in only for the small set of reports the summary marks as borderline.

Why it happens

Full account histories for every queued member overflow context long before the queue is finished, while the decision needs only the flagged content and recent conduct.

TL;DR

Fix this in escalated post routing agent by acting on the exact problem first: put a hard time budget on enrichment steps such as history and profile lookups, assign the post as soon as severity and owner are known, and do enrichment after assignment, so a slow lookup can never delay the routing itself past its timeout. Do not rerun the whole job or queue unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one post, thread, report or batch first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

When enrichment runs before assignment, the slowest lookup sets the routing time, and urgent posts wait on background data instead of reaching a moderator.
