Recurring Failure Patterns

The agent marked the work resolved while verification evidence still showed the underlying problem was active.

Require recovery verification to pass before incident status can be set to resolved. Treat restart success as an intermediate action rather than the customer outcome.

The same agent repeatedly shows service gaps, guardrail friction, or false-success behavior across completed traces.

Escalate the incident workflow to enforce metric recovery at the status-update boundary and convert this cluster into a regression eval.

Require metric-recovery verification artifact with status 'passed' before allowing incident status to be set to 'resolved'. Block ticket close when health check returns 'unknown'.

Review agent prompt and output pipeline to prevent customer identifiers from appearing in external reply construction. Add pre-send validation to block identifier inclusion. Escalate recurring pattern to compliance review.

Escalate to engineering leadership: DevOps agent has a systemic pattern of false incident resolution. Enforce mandatory metric-recovery verification at the workflow level. Promote this cluster to a regression eval.

The agent had account, policy, or contract evidence that should have changed the answer, but closed the work against that context.

Require the agent to reconcile retrieved account and policy context before closing or denying the customer request. Route exception-qualified cases to a human approval path.

The agent made the customer carry unresolved work: repeat information, retry a failed self-service path, or come back later without an owner.

Preserve prior customer context, assign an owner or escalation path when repeat contact is detected, and block resolutions that ask the customer to repeat already-provided information.

The agent solved the immediate task by retaining or sharing sensitive customer context beyond the service need.
