​
Overview

Intelligent retry logic for handling transient failures in agent communication, using Tenacity for robust retry strategies. Goal: Graceful handling of network issues, timeouts, and temporary service outages

​
Features

Exponential Backoff - Increasing delays (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s…)
Jittered Retry - Add randomness to prevent thundering herd
Circuit Breaker - Stop retrying if service is consistently down
Error Classification - Retry transient errors, fail fast on permanent ones

​
Use Cases

  • Agent-to-agent communication failures
  • External API timeouts
  • Database connection issues
  • Payment processing retries

​
Implementation

Using Tenacity for retry logic: 
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential

@retry(
    stop=stop_after_attempt(5),
    wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=1, max=30)
)
async def send_message(agent_id, message):
    # Automatically retries on failure
    ...

​
Status

📋 Planned - Will integrate Tenacity for production reliability
