What better troubleshooting looks like
Tokonoma helps navigate complex false positives.
Two cases started with the same alarming error. One was a harmless maintenance blip. The other was a real outage. Tokonoma gave the agent useful past experience, and the agent still checked the current evidence.
Known harmless issue
Correctly said no action was needed.
0%recognized without Tokonoma
100%recognized with Tokonoma
Without the team's past experience, the agent treated the familiar false alarm like a new problem every time. With Tokonoma, all three models recognized the harmless pattern in every valid run.
Real outage with the same warning
Correctly raised the alarm, with less work.
59 / 60real outages caught
Up to 15 fewertool calls per investigation
Tokonoma did not make the agents overconfident. They still checked the current evidence, caught 59 of 60 real outages, and needed up to 15 fewer tool calls per investigation.
Case-by-case results
Tokonoma avoids common pitfalls throughout the investigation process.
We included cases where past experience should help, where it should be ignored, and where it was intentionally wrong. This tests whether the agent solves more problems while still checking past experience against the current evidence.

Unrelated history
Unrelated history stayed out of the investigation.
The control had no recalled history. Tokonoma did not show the unrelated record. Both groups solved 20 of 20.
Deliberately wrong records
A record is a lead to check, not an order to follow.
We planted a past diagnosis that looked related but was wrong. In 20 of 20 runs, the agent set it aside and solved the case from the current evidence.
