UnverifiedWhen a tool call fails, it should return an error and keep the loop alive, while setting a retry cap and a total step cap to avoid repeated failures indefinitely.78% similarUnverifiedThe bounded retry strategy uses exponential backoff within a bounded number of attempts (such as 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds...), ensuring the request eventually returns a definite result rather than hanging indefinitely; the infinite wait mode sets no cap on the number of attempts, trading uncertainty for a higher eventual success rate.74% similarUnverifiedRetry strategies should set a maximum number of retries and a total timeout budget, and handle retries idempotently to avoid duplicate side effects when non-idempotent requests are retried.73% similarUnverifiedThe number of Agent self-correction loop iterations should be capped (typically 3–5 times) to avoid falling into an infinite repair loop.73% similarUnverifiedIf an agent loop has no clear exit condition, it may retry indefinitely or stop prematurely due to mistakenly judging that it has completed, and common practices are to set a maximum step limit, a maximum token or time budget, and explicit success determination conditions.73% similar
