Short answer

How do I debug workflow errors with my AI?

Your agent uses ncScale to pull specific execution logs and inspect individual node settings. This lets it pinpoint the exact moment a workflow broke and why. You get a clear explanation of the failure instead of hunting through raw data.

Debugging outcomes

Where your investigation leads.

The AI processes the data to give you these specific outcomes.

LOG ANALYSIS

Root cause identified

The agent reads through execution history to find the specific error message that stopped your process.

NODE INSPECTION

Configuration check

Your AI looks at the settings of a specific node to see if a wrong value or missing field caused the crash.

REPAIR PLAN

Actionable fixes

The agent suggests exactly what to change in your workflow to prevent the error from happening again.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual verification

You decide if the suggested fix is safe to apply to your live production environment.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The agent acts as a technical investigator, moving through your workflow data to find the break.

  1. Scan execution history

    The agent looks through recent runs to find the specific failure event.

    list_logs

  2. Map the workflow

    It identifies all the pieces in your automation to understand the path the data took.

    list_nodes

  3. Inspect the broken piece

    The agent pulls the exact configuration of the node that failed to see its inputs and settings.

    get_node

  4. Diagnose the mismatch

    By comparing the logs against the node settings, the agent explains the logic error.

    list_logsget_node

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI fix my workflow automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the error and suggests a fix, but you must manually apply any changes to your workflow.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete my workflows?

    No. The tools only allow the agent to read logs and node configurations. It cannot delete or modify your data.

  • 03

    What kind of errors can it find?

    It can find configuration mismatches, missing data in logs, and logic errors within specific nodes.

  • 04

    Does it see all my workflow data?

    The AI only sees the data it specifically requests through the tools you authorize, such as logs and node settings.

  • 05

    Can it run the workflow for me?

    No. The agent is for debugging and inspection only; it does not have the capability to trigger or execute workflows.
