I build agent systems that run unattended against real services, and I spend most of my time on what they get wrong quietly.
A database or search backend fails, and the code above it reports "nothing there" instead of an error. The caller carries on as if the data never existed. I find this in open-source agent frameworks and the AI infrastructure around them, and send the fix upstream with a reproduction and a test that fails on the old code.
8 merged, 24 open. Three of the merges are fixes to Feast, each merged by the same maintainer within nine hours of being opened.
| Project | What was wrong |
|---|---|
| haystack #3997 | A Qdrant backend failure came back as an empty result |
| haystack #4006 | In pgvector, an empty filter deleted the whole table |
| semantic-router #706 | A failed Qdrant read looked like an empty index, and remote sync then deleted local routes |
| agno #10682 | A delete that failed reported the run as missing |
| feast #6911 | Couchbase writes that failed were counted as written |
| feast #6918 | A failed Trino monitoring query read as "no metrics" |
| feast #6920 | A failed Dask monitoring read was reported as "no data" |
| cognee #5320 | Neptune graph writes reported success when nothing was written (my fix, merged through the maintainer's PR with co-author credit) |
| Project | What is wrong |
|---|---|
| agno | Failed searches and memory reads return empty results |
| langchain-aws | One failed read makes an agent forget its conversation, or overwrite a stored memory |
| langgraph-redis | History "before" a checkpoint returns the whole history |
| langchain-azure | SQL Server lookups say "no such documents"; a failed delete says success |
| ogx (Llama Stack) | A failed Milvus search drops the caller's filters |
| dify | Oracle inserts that failed are returned as stored |
| unstructured-ingest | A failed Milvus schema check strips metadata from rows |
| cognee | A Ladybug graph that cannot be read looks like an empty graph |
| kedro-plugins | A failed Snowflake existence check reads as a missing table, so the pipeline step reruns |
| semantic-kernel | Chroma and Cosmos DB report errors as missing collections |
| llama_index | Failed deletes, reads and queries look like missing keys or no matches |
| camel | A Weaviate failure looks like a missing collection |
| haystack | An ArcadeDB recreate that was refused reports success |
| browser-use | An unreadable config file gets overwritten with defaults |
| crewAI | Any S3 error is treated as a missing bucket |
| mcp-server-manager | Exported configuration is written with open file permissions |
| mem0 | An unreachable Elasticsearch cluster looks like a missing vector (fix waits on the issue being accepted) |
unattended-agent-security - ten failures from running an LLM agent unattended against live systems, and the controls that prevent them. Nine of the ten reported success while failing.
A check that has never gone red proves nothing. Before I trust a fix, I make its test fail against the old code and read why it failed.
