Based on the research, I need to point out something important: The error message you're seeing mentions a "ControlFlow agent", but in Prefect 3.x, agents have been replaced by workers. This suggests you might be using an older version of Prefect or there might be some confusion in terminology. Here's how to debug this issue: 1. Enable Detailed Logging: - Within your flow/task, use Prefect's built-in logger:

python
   from prefect import get_run_logger

   @task
   async def your_task():
       logger = get_run_logger()
       <http://logger.info|logger.info>("Starting task execution")
       try:
           # Your task code here
           pass
       except Exception as e:
           logger.error(f"Task failed with error: {str(e)}")
           raise

2. Check Infrastructure: - If you're using Prefect 2.x with agents, verify your agent is running correctly - If you're using Prefect 3.x, ensure your worker is properly configured and running 3. Review Full Stack Trace: - The error message you're seeing is a summary. You can find the full stack trace in: - The Prefect UI under the flow run's logs - Your worker/agent logs - The logs of the process running your flow 4. Common Causes to Check: - Environment mismatches between development and execution environments - Missing dependencies - Infrastructure connectivity issues - Incorrect permissions or credentials To get more specific help, please provide: 1. Which version of Prefect you're using 2. The complete stack trace if available 3. The code that's generating this error 4. How you're deploying and running this flow This will help me provide more targeted debugging suggestions for your specific case.

Given that this involves ControlFlow.ai's framework, here's how you can debug this generic error message: 1. Enable Detailed Logging in ControlFlow:

python
   import logging
   
   # Set up logging at the start of your script
   logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
   logger = logging.getLogger('controlflow')

2. Wrap the Agent Execution in Try-Except:

python
   from prefect import flow, task
   
   @task
   def run_controlflow_agent():
       try:
           # Your ControlFlow agent code here
           result = agent.run()  # or whatever method you're using
           return result
       except Exception as e:
           logger.error(f"Detailed error: {str(e)}")
           logger.error(f"Error type: {type(e)}")
           raise
   
   @flow
   def main_flow():
       return run_controlflow_agent()

3. Common Causes to Check: - Verify your ControlFlow API key and authentication are correct - Check if you're hitting any rate limits - Ensure your prompt or task description is properly formatted - Verify that any required model parameters are correctly set - Check if there are any network connectivity issues 4. Debugging Steps: - Run the agent in synchronous mode if possible to get immediate feedback - Test with a simpler prompt/task first to isolate the issue - Check the ControlFlow dashboard (if available) for any additional error details - Verify that your ControlFlow version is compatible with your current setup To get more specific help, it would be useful to see: 1. The code that sets up and runs your ControlFlow agent 2. The prompt or task description you're using 3. Any configuration parameters you've set Since this appears to be a ControlFlow-specific error rather than a Prefect error, you might also want to: - Check ControlFlow's documentation for known error patterns - Reach out to ControlFlow's support channels if the issue persists - Verify if there are any known issues with the specific ControlFlow features you're using Would you be able to share any of these additional details to help narrow down the cause of the error?
