Issue
Create a Google Doc with a specific title — agent overruns into Play Store
Goal
Открой Chrome и перейди на сайт https://www.google.com чтобы убедиться что интернет работает, а затем создай новый документ в Google Docs с заголовком "Визитка Vitalii Horbunov" и напиши в нем "Vitalii Horbunov". После этого сохрани документ.
TL;DR
The agent messaged the user that the task was complete, but then continued performing unrelated actions, eventually navigating to the Play Store and downloading an app.
What Happened
- Step 32: The agent sends a completion message:
message_user({"content": "Спасибо! Если нужно что-то еще, обращайтесь."}). - Step 33: Immediately after signaling completion, the agent launches Google Docs:
start_app({"package": "Документы"}). - Steps 64-66 (Screenshots): Much later in the session, screenshots show the agent is in the Google Play Store on the page for the 'Wix' app, which is completely unrelated to the user's goal.
Root Cause (Best Guess)
The agent's completion detection fired prematurely. It then failed to halt execution and continued acting on a faulty plan or misinterpreted UI, leading it to navigate to the Play Store. The large gap in logs (from step 34 to 64) makes it impossible to trace the exact path.
Where to Look
Review the agent's task completion logic. Investigate why the agent continued to take actions after sending the completion message to the user.
Repro
- Task: "Открой Chrome и перейди на сайт https://www.google.com чтобы убедиться что интернет работает, а затем создай новый документ в Google Docs с заголовком "Визитка Vitalii Horbunov" и напиши в нем "Vitalii Horbunov". После этого сохрани документ."
- Observe step 32: Agent sends a completion message.
- Pattern: Agent continues taking actions, eventually ending up in the Play Store as seen in screenshots for steps 64-66.
AI Reasoning
The agent sends a completion message at Step 32, but the session continues with unrelated actions. Screenshots from much later steps (64-66) show the agent in the Google Play Store downloading an unrelated app ('Wix'). The provided log is incomplete, but the combination of a premature completion message and later screenshots showing wildly off-task behavior clearly indicates a severe task overrun.
