Agent Reliability

Production patterns for reliable, cost-efficient agent systems.

When to Activate

• Building agents that call external APIs or other agents
• Configuring retry logic and timeout hierarchies
• Implementing fallback chains when primary agents fail
• Controlling cost with token budgets and model tiering
• Adding circuit breakers to isolate failing agent dependencies
• Setting up structured logging for agent observability
