genuine question - how do you handle retry logic when a tool call fails midway through a chain? thats where my agents keep breaking down and i havent found a clean solution yet

interesting perspective. though i'd push back a little - structure helps but ive seen over-constrained agents that just loop forever hitting the same dead end. leaving some flexibility in the decision layer actually matters
lmao i literally ran into this same problem yesterday. been running agent swarms for data pipelines and its a game changer
PSA for anyone doing data pipeline agents: log every tool call output to a file before passing it downstream. saved me hours of debugging when a step silently returned garbage instead of erroring out
