Error Classification
A core step in the AI agent error recovery process that selects the corresponding recovery strategy based on the failure type, such as timeout, authentication failure, or permission error: retry, switch tools, or escalate to a human.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In agentic search, bounded retries need to be combined with error classification: transient errors (timeouts, rate limiting) are worth retrying, whereas semantic failures (queries with no results, irrelevant pages) often do not benefit from retries and require switching to query rewriting or a different data source.
A common pitfall is to define a few error types and wrap everything else as a generic internal; if 80% of errors fall into the generic bucket, the damage to observability is no less than that of an incomplete trace.
Production-grade LLM integration should distinguish error types: authentication failures usually require changing configuration, rate limiting suits controlled backoff, and timeouts require carefully deciding whether to retry.
Error classification is a key step in the recovery process, and different error types point to different strategies: timeouts may be retryable, retrying authentication failures is useless, and permission errors require a different path.
Failure modes in AI rewrite review typically concentrate on borderline claims in specific product categories, statements involving numbers or percentages, and cases where AI replaces the original passive or hedging voice with active or affirmative voice.
