The following are the possible error messages you may receive when your task stops unexpectedly.

To check your stopped tasks for an error message using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, see [Viewing Amazon ECS stopped task errors](stopped-task-errors.md).

You can use the [Amazon ECS MCP server](ecs-mcp-introduction.md) with AI assistants to analyze task failures and container logs using natural language.

Stopped task error codes have a category associated with them, for example "ResourceInitializationError". To get more information about each category, see the following:
