Tool-Specific Issues
ask_orion Returns Only an Acknowledgment
This is expected behavior. Orion’s analyses are multi-step operations that take 1-2 minutes. The initial response is an acknowledgment. Your AI assistant should automatically pollget_conversation_history to retrieve the final analysis.
If the analysis never completes:
- Check that the
project_idis valid and has connected data sources - Verify the user has access to the specified project
- Try a simpler question to confirm the pipeline is working
list_artifacts Returns Empty
- Verify the project has published artifacts (dashboards, slides, or reports)
- Check that you are using the correct
project_id
