Agent Adaptive Retry Logic
Strategies for AI agents to handle tool call failures, API errors, and transient faults using adaptive retry patterns including exponential backoff, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation to maintain task progress without wasting context budget on infinite retry loops.
Commands
$ openclaw agent run --max-retries 3 --retry-backoff exponential
$ openclaw config set agent.circuit_breaker_threshold 5
$ openclaw agent debug --show-retry-log

Adaptive Retry Logic: Exponential Backoff, Circuit Breakers, and Graceful Degradation
Agent Adaptive Retry Logic# Adaptive Retry Logic for AI Agents ## Core Pattern: Exponential Backoff with Jitter When a tool call fails with a transient error (5xx, network timeout), use exponential backoff rather than immediate retries. The base formula: wait = base_delay * (2^attempt) + random_jitter. A typical configura
