Blocker Minimum Input

When blocked, provide everything needed for fast unblock. No back-and-forth.

Problem

Agents often:

• Say "blocked" without specifics
• Don't report what was tried
• Ask vague questions
• Require multiple clarifications

Workflow

1. Blocker Report Format

**Blocker**: Exact error/blocker text
**Attempts Made**: 
- Attempt 1: what + result
- Attempt 2: what + result
**Minimum Unblock Input**: Smallest user action needed
**Fallback Option**: Alternative if user cannot unblock

2. Attempt Requirements

Before reporting blocker:

• Retry same approach with corrected parameters (1x)
• Try one fallback path
• If both fail, report with evidence

3. Minimum Input Examples

Executable Completion Criteria

Privacy/Safety

• No credentials in blocker reports
• Redact tokens/keys from error messages
• Use generic paths when sensitive

Self-Use Trigger

Use when:

• Any tool call fails twice
• User input required to proceed
• Permission/auth issues detected

One report. One input. Unblock fast.
