When the agent encounters persistent errors, context loss or abnormal tool returns, it easily falls into a "retry—fail—retry again" loop, causing the request count to balloon sharply without effective output.

UnverifiedIn agent scenarios, intermittent connector failures cause the model to retry, and each retry is a new model inference that consumes tokens and introduces latency, and the failure information may be misread by the model as "data does not exist" rather than "request failed".78% similarUnverifiedThe non-determinism of agents causes regression testing to fail, makes faults difficult to reproduce, and leads to unpredictable behavioral drift triggered by version updates.77% similarUnverifiedWithout re-planning capability, an agent easily retries repeatedly at the same point of failure, forming an ineffective loop.77% similarVerifiedWithout exponential backoff, a brief server-side outage causes all failed clients to immediately retry simultaneously, forming a retry storm that is more destructive than the original traffic.76% similarUnverifiedIn an agent loop, if a content-level failure is treated as success, the agent will continue executing subsequent steps on a false premise, causing bias to accumulate.75% similar
