A Muta’assib Hanafi has tried to defend this narrator under the Haashiah of Nasb ur-Rayaa, saying that:

"Tirmidhi has graded a hadeeth of Abdur Rahmaan bin Ishaaq as Hassan and Haakim as Saheeh"

Whereas Haakim and Tirmidhi both are famous with Tasaahul (Leniency) according to the Muhadditheen. Tirmidhi has graded a hadeeth of Katheer bin Abdullah as Saheeh whereas Katheer is even declared to be a Liar, that's why as said by Haafidh Dhahabi, "The Scholars do not trust the Tasheeh of Tirmidhi"
[Mizaan ul-I'tidaal: 3/407]

Haakim has authenticated the hadeeth of Abdur Rahmaan bin Zayd bin Aslam in al-Mustadrak, whereas the same Haakim writes in his book "Al-Madkhal Ila as-Saheeh" that:

"‘Abdur Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam narrated fabricated ahaadeeth from his father, and it is obvious to any competent hadeeth scholar that he is the one to blame for fabricating ahaadeeth." (Pg 104)

Zayla'ee Hanafi wrote that:

"The Authentication of Haakim is not trusted." [Nasb ur-Rayaa: 1/344]

Meaning, according to the Hanafis, the authentication of Haakim has no value and it is not trusted.

Conclusion:

Abdur Rahmaan bin Ishaaq al-Koofi is Weak with the Agreement of all Scholars.
