Agent Harness Fault Injection

Overview

Use a deterministic, non-production fault schedule to test whether an agent workflow preserves state, budgets, safety boundaries, and evidence when a dependency fails. The output is a small fault matrix, an event timeline, and a verdict that distinguishes recovered, contained, unrecoverable, and inconclusive runs.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when a multi-step agent, state machine, loop, or multi-agent workflow has a new recovery path.
• Use when sandbox execution, an MCP/tool call, a worker, a checkpoint store, or memory can time out or disappear.
• Use before claiming retry, resume, deadline, isolation, or partial-failure behavior is production-ready.
• Use when a regression needs reproducible failure evidence instead of a random chaos run.
