Problem
The AI Moderator workflow has failed 6+ times in the last 7 days with two distinct error modes:
cache_memory_miss (missing required data): Agent cannot find required cache data and exits without producing outputs.- No safe outputs: Agent completes successfully but emits no safe output operations.

Root Cause Hypotheses
cache_memory_miss:
- Agent relies on
cache_memory but data is not always present (cold cache, upstream not populated, or key mismatch)
- Prompt does not handle absent cache gracefully
No safe outputs:
- Agent exits early when no content needs moderating, without calling
noop
- Or agent hits an error condition and silently exits
Recommended Fixes
- Add cache fallback: When
cache_memory is absent, fall back to direct API fetch or call missing_data — never silently fail
- Guarantee a safe output: Require the agent to always call
noop if no moderation action is needed
- Add monitoring: If failures persist, add watchdog alert
Impact
- High: Moderation is safety-critical; silent failures mean unreviewed content passes through unmoderated
- ~86% failure rate in the last 7 days
