System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Use when a dbt Cloud/platform job fails and you need to diagnose the root cause, especially when error messages are unclear or when intermittent failures occur. Do not use for local dbt development errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic MCP-based diagnostic workflow to identify root causes (Infrastructure, Code/Compilation, Data/Test Failure)
  • Guidance on gathering logs, run_results, and contextual artifacts, classification of failure types, and recommended remediation steps
  • Documentation and handoff artifacts when the root cause cannot be determined, including creating investigation findings

Quick Start

Describe a failing dbt Cloud job and gather logs, run_results.json, and recent changes to diagnose the root cause.
