Agent0 Did Not Do What I Asked

Three common reasons Agent0 declines or sidesteps a request:

The prompt was ambiguous

If the request can be interpreted multiple ways, Agent0 will ask a clarifying question rather than guess.

Provide more specific context: which service, which time range, which kind of investigation, what outcome you want.

A required connector is not configured

If you ask Agent0 to do something that requires a tool it doesn't have access to — raise a GitHub PR without a GitHub connector, query a database without the SQL tool available — it will tell you what's missing.

Configure the connector in Settings → Integrations and try again.

A guardrail blocked the action

If a destructive action requires approval per your organization's policy, Agent0 will surface the action for review rather than execute it.

Check the Agent0 panel for pending approvals.
