Databricks Job Failure Agent with OpenClaw
The way this goes wrong is a tracker full of duplicates: an hourly job breaks at ten and by six you have eight tickets saying the same thing. The template searches Linear for that job paired with the exception it threw before filing anything, so a persistent break stays one issue with a pattern attached. OpenClaw is a fine harness for a loop whose main safeguard is a search that happens before the write.
Watch it work before it's live
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

Why OpenClaw for this agent
Search, then file
An open issue already covering this failure stops it filing anything new, and that issue key goes into the Slack line instead of a second ticket.
No service between failures
Hosted with nothing to maintain, which matters for a job that only ever wakes because something else has broken.
Before you fork
How soon after a run fails does the issue exist?
A minute or two after the failure event, since the history list and the Linear search are both quick calls. That is usually well before anyone opens a dashboard, so the first person in finds the issue and its counts already waiting. A very long run output takes marginally longer to pull, and Databricks truncating it is noted in the issue rather than hidden.
