Building agents

Retry policies

Backoff, caps, and per-tool overrides in one file.

A policy file declares retry behaviour once for the whole agent, with narrower rules for individual tools. Policies are validated at deploy time and unreachable rules are rejected.

export default {
  default: { max: 3, backoff: "exponential", capMs: 30_000 },
  tools: {
    "kb.search": { max: 5 },
    "stripe.refund": { max: 1, requireApproval: true },
  },
}
