Aglet

Triage an API bulk operation window

A bulk request can be accepted before any record is complete. Freeze one operation handle and compare submission response, status transitions, result counts, and local reconciliation. Keep delayed progress, partial completion, expired results, and a wrong handle separate. Keep the batch handle beside every status observation.

Establish what is happening

  1. Capture the operation handle

    Record batch size, submission time, environment, operation identifier, and initial response without copying sensitive records. Note whether the response means accepted, queued, running, complete, or failed. Preserve local state beside each status read.

  2. Follow progress and results

    Poll or read the documented status path at bounded intervals. Compare status timestamps, completed and failed counts, result link, and local reconciliation. A complete status without result evidence may be a retrieval gap rather than complete business work.

  3. Bound batch impact

    Group operations by size, endpoint, status path, client revision, and partial-result state. Separate duplicate submission, slow progress, expired results, and wrong-handle lookup. Keep records that are pending or partially reconciled visible for review.

What to carry forward

Triage ends with one operation lifecycle, result count, local state, and recovery gap. Stop duplicate submissions while status is uncertain. Route submission, polling, and reconciliation questions separately. Keep pending records out of the completed count.
