A data team has implemented an automated validation tool that flags potential errors in daily reports. After several weeks, the team notices that the tool is generating many false positives, causing analysts to spend time investigating non-issues. What is the BEST way to improve the validation process?

Disable the tool and return to manual validation

Increase the frequency of the automated checks

Adjust the tool's thresholds and rules based on feedback from analysts

Ignore the false positives and continue with the current settings
