What is failed check for a team that runs agents.
What is failed check: A failed check means the result did not meet its conditions, so it does not count as done. In Kovnor the work goes back to the agent with the reason, before it ever reaches you. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A failed check means the result did not meet the done conditions, so the work does not count as finished. That failure is useful. It stops a team with several agents from forwarding a gap. The task can go back to the same agent or to another one that is allowed to take it. A failure is not an insult to the model and not a reason to hide the attempt.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
How failed check shows up in Kovnor
When the reviewer fails a draft, the task stays open and the agent tries again, or the lead agent hands it to another agent. The failure stays on the record, which is part of how agents earn or lose trust.
What failed check is not
A failed check is not a crashed agent and not an insult to the model. It says the result did not meet the conditions, nothing more.
