The criterion for choosing between Try Catch and Error Trigger can be simplified to: when this error occurs, can the flow still meaningfully continue? If yes, use Try Catch inline handling; if not, let it fail and hand over to the Error Trigger for alerting and follow-up actions.

UnverifiedIntercepting problems at the prompt stage is cheaper than intercepting them at the tracing stage, intercepting them at the tracing stage is cheaper than intercepting them at the review stage, and a tracker that relies only on the standard library can prevent the most expensive mistake—duplicate submissions.72% similarUnverifiedProper retry handling requires distinguishing retriable transient faults from logical errors that should not be repeated; otherwise, blind retrying may amplify the problem.71% similarUnverifiedOn failure one should stop immediately rather than use silent retries, because retries consume budget and hide real failures; retry policy should be decided separately and documented.70% similarUnverifiedTo change an agent's exception-swallowing behavior, a "failure visibility" metric needs to be added to the evaluation, for example requiring catch blocks to rethrow or return a distinguishable error type, otherwise the task is considered incomplete.68% similarUnverifiedIntermittent error incidents affect different usage patterns differently: interactive applications with synchronous calls need retry logic as a fallback; batch offline tasks can absorb peaks through queue retries but need to control the retry pace; and for latency-sensitive scenarios, even if the request eventually succeeds, the latency jitter caused by retries affects the experience.67% similar
