Should AI agents have retry limits?

AI agents often call APIs and services automatically. A failed call can quickly turn into many retries and create more load.

I think every production agent should have a clear retry budget.

How are you controlling retries in your AI agent workflows?

A retry budget makes a lot of sense in production. Without limits, a temporary failure can quickly turn into unnecessary API calls, higher costs, and cascading issues.

@[Mehadi Hasan] Exactly. Unnecessary is the right word here!
