meeting prep agent timed out pulling intent signals from Bombora before a first call

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in meeting prep agent with Bombora by acting on the exact message first: fetch Bombora intent for the single account with a short time box, fall back to the most recent cached intent topics when the call exceeds it, and build the first call brief from the cached topics with their date shown instead of waiting indefinitely. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in meeting prep agent with Bombora fails with this exact message: meeting prep agent timed out pulling intent signals from Bombora before a first call.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A call, review or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in meeting prep agent with Bombora, and copy the full message plus the account, contact or meeting involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: fetch Bombora intent for the single account with a short time box, fall back to the most recent cached intent topics when the call exceeds it, and build the first call brief from the cached topics with their date shown instead of waiting indefinitely. Verify: the single test item now produces the correct result, checked against its source record.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, source or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in meeting prep agent with Bombora 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.
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 error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

A first call account triggers a full intent history pull, and the agent waited on that unbounded request until the run timed out, even though recent cached topics would have answered the brief.
