Failure Recovery

Use this when MCP status, DB readiness, or results are suspicious.

Checks

1. Phone clients: wechat.mobile.get_overview
2. wechat.core.get_status
3. wechat.core.list_accounts
4. wechat.core.get_account_info
5. Moments availability by checking account info and wechat.moments.list_users.
6. For backend diagnostics, MCP LAN access, data preparation, index/cache build, export, realtime sync, local editing, or system settings, direct the user to the desktop/web app.

Empty Results

• Do not conclude "no data" after one failed query.
• Try contact/session resolution with a simpler keyword.
• Try session search before global message search when a target is known.
• For Moments, resolve poster identity before timeline filtering.
• If data is not ready, stop content tools and explain that data preparation is handled in the desktop app, not through MCP.
