Execution not found
Error message
Execution not found
What it means
HTTP 404 from the admin stop-execution endpoint. get_graph_executions with just graph_exec_id returned no rows, so no AgentGraphExecution with that id exists at all (unlike the requeue endpoint, no status filter applies here). The stop is never attempted.

Stop a single execution (admin only).
Uses robust stop_graph_execution which cascades to children and waits for termination.

request: Contains execution_id to stop

Solutions
- Confirm the full UUID exists: check the executions list or AgentGraphExecution table.
- Paste ids programmatically (from the API/DB) rather than by hand to avoid truncation.
- Ensure you are authenticated against the same environment where the execution ran.
- If the row was deleted, no stop is needed — the executor has no record to stop.
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
const UUID_RE = /^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i;
if (!UUID_RE.test(executionId)) throw new Error('invalid execution id'); Type guard
function isExecutionId(id: string): boolean { return /^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i.test(id); } Prevention
- Pass execution ids programmatically, never hand-typed.
- Confirm the environment (dev/stage/prod) matches where the execution ran.
When it happens
Trigger: POST /admin/execution/stop with a malformed or non-existent execution UUID — e.g. truncated when copying, wrong environment (dev id against prod), or the execution record was deleted.
Common situations: Stopping an execution already purged by retention; using an execution id from a logs URL that was URL-encoded/truncated; copy-paste between staging and production consoles.
