Systemic Issues

Issue: Tavily-Dependent Workflows

Status: MONITORING - 1 recovered, 2 still failing

Pattern across workflows using Tavily MCP server:

Workflow	Status	Last Success	Failure Rate	Issue
Daily News	✅ RECOVERED	2026-01-24	20% (recovering)	Resolved
MCP Inspector	❌ FAILING	2026-01-05	80%	#11433
Research	❌ FAILING	2026-01-08	90%	#11434
Scout	⚠️ SKIPPED	N/A	N/A (PR-based)	N/A

Root cause: Missing TAVILY_API_KEY secret (now added)

• Daily News recovered after secret was added
• MCP Inspector and Research may need additional configuration
• Possible recompilation required: make recompile

Recommended Actions:

1. ✅ TAVILY_API_KEY secret added (completed 2026-01-22)
2. 🔄 Verify MCP Gateway configuration for MCP Inspector and Research
3. ⏳ Consider recompiling affected workflows
4. ⏳ Monitor Daily News recovery sustainability (7 days)

Recommendations

High Priority (P1 - Within 24h)

1. Fix MCP Inspector (Fix MCP Inspector workflow - "Start MCP gateway" failure (80% failure rate) #11433) - Investigate MCP Gateway startup failure

   • Check MCP Gateway configuration
   • Verify Tavily MCP server connectivity
   • Review logs from recent failures
   • Compare with Daily News (now working)

2. Fix Research workflow (Fix Research workflow - Critical failure (90% failure rate) #11434) - 90% failure rate requires urgent attention

   • Similar MCP Gateway issue suspected
   • Apply same fix approach as MCP Inspector
   • Test workflow manually

Medium Priority (P2 - This Week)

1. Monitor Daily News recovery - Ensure sustained operation over 7 days

   • Current: 2 successes in last 10 runs (20% rate)
   • Target: >80% success rate sustained
   • Track: Daily for next week

2. Verify Scout workflow - Uses Tavily, currently PR-based (skipped runs)

   • Check if workflow works when triggered
   • Ensure no hidden issues

Low Priority (P3 - Nice to Have)

1. Document Daily News recovery process and timeline
2. Add monitoring for TAVILY_API_KEY availability
3. Create health checks for MCP Gateway startup
4. Consider adding retry logic to MCP Gateway connections

🚨 Critical Workflows Still Failing - Reopen Investigation

Both MCP Inspector (#11433) and Research (#11434) issues were auto-closed yesterday but the workflows are still failing.

Latest Status (2026-01-25T03:04:00Z):

MCP Inspector

• 0/5 recent runs successful (0% success rate)
• Latest failure: §21304877267 (2026-01-23)
• 20 days offline (since 2026-01-05)

Research

• 1/5 recent runs successful (20% success rate)
• Latest failure: §21078189533 (2026-01-16)
• 17 days offline (last success 2026-01-08)

Key Insight: Daily News workflow recovered after TAVILY_API_KEY was added, but these two workflows did NOT recover. This suggests they may need recompilation with make recompile to pick up the new secret.

Action required: Reopen both issues and investigate recompilation hypothesis.
