Reviewing what Uncanny Agent did

Because Uncanny Agent can take real actions on your site—creating recipes, publishing posts, updating settings—it’s important to know exactly what it did before, during, and after every task. Uncanny Agent is designed to be transparent about its work (keeping the “human in the loop”).

This article walks through how to read its output.

The “Worked for…” expander

When Uncanny Agent finishes a task that involved tools, you’ll see a collapsible bar at the top of its response showing how long it took and how many tools it used. For example:

Worked for 2:43m · 7 tools ▼

Click the bar to expand it. You’ll see, in order:

1. The Agent’s plan (“I’ll create a LearnDash course called…”)
2. Each tool call it made (looking up post types, creating the course, creating a lesson, etc.)
3. The result of each step—including any errors

This is the audit trail for the request. If you want to know exactly what happened, this is where to look.

The structured summary

Below the activity log, Uncanny Agent writes a plain-English summary of the result, usually structured into three sections:

• What’s done — the changes it successfully made, with links where relevant (e.g. a link to the new course or recipe)
• What failed — anything that didn’t work, with the underlying reason
• Next steps — suggestions for what to do next, often as a question to you

Read the What failed section even when the headline result looks successful. Partial successes are possible (for example, a course was created but its lessons weren’t), and Uncanny Agent will be explicit about it.

Verifying the work yourself

For anything that touches users, customers, or published content, take a moment to verify the result before moving on:

• Recipes — open the recipe and check the trigger, actions, and tokens. Run a test if possible.
• Content — preview the page, post, or course on the front end.
• Bulk changes — spot-check a few records to make sure the change matches your intent.

Uncanny Agent is good, but it isn’t infallible and a quick verification is much faster than undoing a mistake at scale.
