Short answer

How do I debug data quality incidents with my AI?

Your agent pulls specific incident logs and historical monitor runs to pinpoint where a pipeline failed. This lets you identify the root cause without manually digging through dashboards. You'll get a clear breakdown of the failure pattern.

Investigation outcomes.

Where your findings land.

The AI organizes its investigation into these four outcomes.

TRIAGE

Incident summaries

The agent pulls recent failures to show you what broke and when. You get a clear view of the current state of your data health.

ANALYSIS

Root cause identification

By comparing current failures against historical runs, the AI identifies patterns. This points you toward the specific source of the error.

REMEDIATION

Actionable fix plans

The agent suggests how to resolve the specific issue found in the logs. You receive a direct path to fixing the broken pipeline.

HUMAN

Manual verification

The AI flags complex or ambiguous failures that require a person to inspect the raw data. You decide if the suggested fix is safe to deploy.

The workflow

What your AI does when an incident occurs.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of data gathering and pattern matching.

  1. Identify recent failures

    The agent scans your Metaplane account to find active or recent data quality issues.

    list_incidents

  2. Inspect specific errors

    Once a problem is identified, the agent pulls the deep technical details of that specific incident.

    get_incident

  3. Compare historical data

    The agent looks at previous monitor runs to see if this is a recurring pattern or a new anomaly.

    get_monitor_runs

  4. Synthesize the cause

    The agent combines the incident details and the run history to explain why the data failed.

  • List all recent incidents in my Metaplane account.

  • Get the details for incident ID 12345 and tell me what went wrong.

  • Check the last five monitor runs for the 'customer_orders' monitor to find a pattern.

  • Compare the current incident details with previous runs to see if this is a regression.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the data pipeline itself?

    No. The AI can only read incident data and monitor runs to suggest fixes. You must manually apply any changes to your pipelines.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete old incidents?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list and retrieve incident information. It cannot modify or delete your Metaplane records.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my data?

    No. The AI only sees the specific incident details and monitor run metadata provided by the Metaplane tools.

  • 04

    Can I ask about specific monitors?

    Yes. Once the agent has access to your monitor runs, you can ask it to analyze any specific monitor you name.

  • 05

    How does it know if a failure is new?

    The agent compares the current incident data against the history retrieved from previous monitor runs.
