UnverifiedIn multi-agent systems, one agent's retry may trigger unnecessary retries in downstream agents, creating cascading failures or thundering-herd problems.77% similarUnverifiedThird-party APIs in production will adjust schemas, rate-limit, or return partial data at any time; if the Agent has no explicit field validation and failure reporting, it will return an apparently successful empty response and let downstream continue executing based on erroneous input, forming a silent failure.73% similarVerifiedIn scenarios where an Agent automatically executes multi-step tasks, a failure at one step can cause the entire workflow to fail or even trigger cascading erroneous operations.70% similarUnverified建立模型级别的故障转移机制（如连续两次超时后自动切换）可以缓解单一模型不可用的问题69% similarUnverifiedAgent死循环归根结底有三类：单一工具动作无限重复、双状态来回横跳（ABAB式往复）、工具调用持续失败却无脑重试67% similar
