-
Agents
Problems where agent behavior expands, acts outside intent, fails to finish, modifies state, or chooses actions without enough stable control.
Issues: 3
-
Changes & Versions
Problems where model behavior, prompts, contracts, schemas, outputs, references, rubrics, or expectations change without the surrounding workflow updating correctly.
Issues: 9
-
Coverage & Guidance
Problems where prompts, rubrics, diagnostics, fallback rules, examples, requirements, or relationship maps are incomplete, underspecified, or missing needed guidance.
Issues: 9
-
Duplication & Overload
Problems where fields, sections, rules, checks, prompts, workflow steps, or review queues become duplicated, overloaded, bottlenecked, or carry too many meanings.
Issues: 10
-
Inconsistent Behavior
Problems where similar inputs, repeated attempts, validations, prompts, routes, or cases produce different results without a clear reason.
Issues: 5
-
Loops & Resolution
Problems where agents, workflows, reviews, approvals, policies, schemas, or routing paths loop, wait on themselves, fail to settle, or cannot identify a final state.
Issues: 11
-
MCP, Tools & Integrations
Problems involving tool calls, MCP surfaces, integration contracts, required tool inputs, tool results, parser consumers, or downstream systems that depend on AI output.
Issues: 5
-
Memory & Context
Problems where task state, prior instructions, saved memory, restored context, stale information, or cross-task context affects behavior incorrectly.
Issues: 8
-
Output
Problems where generated content, citations, fields, formats, parser-facing output, or structured responses are missing, malformed, unsupported, or unusable.
Issues: 10
-
Permissions & Approvals
Problems where ownership, approval, authority, permission state, responsible control, or action rights are missing, stale, bypassed, conflicting, or unclear.
Issues: 11
-
Rules & Policies
Problems where prompts, policies, rules, roles, constraints, or declared behavior conflict, drift, duplicate each other, or fail to match actual behavior.
Issues: 6
-
Scope & Boundaries
Problems where tasks, files, context, retrieval, permissions, actions, or outputs cross limits, use outside information, or lack clear operating boundaries.
Issues: 6
-
Spread & Escalation
Problems where small errors, local exceptions, risk signals, retries, permissions, or outputs spread downstream, grow in consequence, or trigger broader actions.
Issues: 16
-
Workflow & Handoffs
Problems where review steps, handoffs, task progress, workflow ownership, downstream steps, or process coordination break, loop, disagree, or lose resolution.
Issues: 6
