Questions & answers
What happens when an agent action fails midway?
Heidi records distinct blocked, failed, cancelled, and review states. Inspect the action evidence before retrying an external write whose result is uncertain.
A completion claim is not enough.
The runtime distinguishes a generated output from independently verified completion. Missing credentials, approval, or access can block work; an attempted action can fail; a useful output can still require review.
Recover from the recorded state.
Use the execution record to establish what happened. For uncertain external effects, avoid blindly repeating the write. The recovery path depends on the tool, available evidence, and configured review requirements.
