name	exa-advanced-troubleshooting
description	Apply advanced debugging techniques for hard-to-diagnose Exa issues. Use when standard troubleshooting fails, investigating latency spikes, or preparing evidence bundles for Exa support escalation. Trigger with phrases like "exa hard bug", "exa mystery error", "exa deep debug", "difficult exa issue", "exa latency spike".

Exa Advanced Troubleshooting

Overview

Deep debugging for complex Exa issues: latency spikes, intermittent failures, result quality degradation, and content retrieval failures. All Exa error responses include a requestId — always capture it.

Instructions

Step 1: Layer-by-Layer Diagnostics

import Exa from "exa-js";

interface DiagnosticResult {
  layer: string;
  success: boolean;
  latencyMs: number;
  details: string;
}

async function diagnoseExa(): Promise<DiagnosticResult[]> {
  const results: DiagnosticResult[] = [];
  const exa = new Exa(process.env.EXA_API_KEY);

  // Layer 1: DNS + Network
  let start = performance.now();
  try {
    const resp = await fetch("https://api.exa.ai", { method: "HEAD" });
    results.push({
      layer: "network",
      success: true,
      latencyMs: performance.now() - start,
      : ,
    });
  }  (: ) {
    results.({
      : ,
      : ,
      : performance.() - start,
      : err.,

     results; 
  }

  
  start = performance.();

     (err. ===  || err. === )  results;

  start = performance.();

  }  (: ) {
    results.({

      : ,
      : performance.() - start,
      : ,

  }

  
  start = performance.();
   {

  }

  
  start = performance.();
   {
     r =  exa.(, { :  });
    results.({
      : ,
      : r.. > ,
      : performance.() - start,
      : ,
    });
  }  (: ) {
    results.({

      : ,
      : performance.() - start,
