UnverifiedIn the agent loop, when the same tool call fails twice in a row, a prompt should be inserted requiring a different approach, while still staying within the original step limit.73% similarUnverifiedIn proxy rotation scenarios, the ideal retry strategy is: switch to a new proxy on each retry, while stretching the interval along an exponential curve, and hard-fail after a maximum number of attempts (usually 3-5).73% similarUnverifiedThe three common termination conditions for an agent loop are: the model gives a response that no longer calls any tool, the step limit is reached, or human approval is awaited.72% similarUnverifiedThe guide notes that each task should be evaluated more than once, because some regression problems appear in only one of two runs, and a single-run eval will miss them.72% similarUnverifiedA single execution-type agent exhibits three typical problems during long-running tasks: goal drift, shortcut-taking, and mid-task cessation72% similar
