  sessions using Agent Monitor data — APIError events and PreToolUse→PostToolUse

  "what's failing right now".

Error Scan

Sweep recent events across sessions for error and failure signals, then rank them by how often they occur and which tool or model produced them.

Input

The user provides: **$ARGUMENTS**

This may be:

  • empty or "all" — scan every failure signal (default)
  • "api" — APIError events only
  • "tools" — tool-failure gaps only
  • a number N — limit the scan to the most recent N sessions
  • a session ID — scan a single session

Data Sources

| Endpoint | Returns | |----------|---------| | `GET /api/analytics` | `event_types` (counts per type incl. PreToolUse, PostToolUse, APIError), `tool_usage` (top 20), `daily_events` (365d) — fleet-wide failure baseline | | `GET /api/events?session_id=X` | Per-session event stream: `event_type`, `tool_name`, `summary`, `data`, `timestamp` — locate `APIError` and unmatched `PreToolUse` | | `GET /api/sessions?limit=N` | Sessions with `id`, `status`, `model`, `started_at` — pick the recent window and attribute failures to a model |

Report Sections

1. Scope

Resolve `$ARGUMENTS` to a session set: pull `GET /api/sessions?limit=N` (default 50, ordered by `started_at`). Report how many sessions and what time span are covered.

2. Fleet Failure Counts

From `GET /api/analytics` `event_types`, report total `APIError` count and the PreToolUse→PostToolUse gap: `gap = PreToolUse − PostToolUse` (unmatched tool starts = likely failures). State both as raw counts and as a share of `total_events`.

3. Group by Tool

For each session in scope, pull `GET /api/events?session_id=X`. Match each `PreToolUse` to its following `PostToolUse` by `tool_name`; unmatched starts are failures. Aggregate failures and `APIError` events per `tool_name`. Rank tools by failure frequency (descending).

4. Group by Model

Join failures to the owning session's `model` (from `GET /api/sessions`). Rank models by APIError count and tool-failure count.

5. Top Offenders

List the single most failure-prone tool, the most error-prone model, and the session with the most failures, each with its exact count and one-line `summary` excerpt from a representative event.

Output

  • A ranked Markdown table: tool/model | APIError count | tool-failure (gap) count | total failures | share of events.
  • Rates as percentages to 2 decimals.
  • Cite exact `event_type`, `tool_name`, and `session_id` values — never fabricate counts.
  • End with the one failure pattern most worth investigating and a concrete next step.
  • Read-only: only report what the API returns. If `curl` cannot reach `http://localhost:4820`, tell the user to start the dashboard with `npm start` from the repo root.
