SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents AI agents from failing when models hallucinate, tool outputs break schemas, or upstream APIs hit transient errors, so production workflows keep running.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Error classification before recovery: Detects transient, structural, model, and unrecoverable failures to choose the right recovery strategy.
  • Strategy mutation and fallback models: Retries with backoff for transient issues, mutates the prompt/approach for structural errors, and switches models for model errors.
  • Output validation with auto-repair and graceful degradation: Validates responses against expected structure, repairs missing fields when possible, and returns partial results with clear error reports when full recovery is impossible.

Example: An autonomous Google Ads analysis workflow calls multiple APIs and requires strict JSON outputs; when a schema changes or an LLM returns invalid structure, the agent classifies the failure, mutates the strategy or selects a fallback model, and salvages a usable result instead of aborting.

Quick Start

Build an autonomous agent that validates every tool and model output against a strict schema, then automatically retries, mutates strategy, or falls back models based on classified failure types.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI agents recover automatically from transient API errors and model hallucinations?

To make AI agents recover automatically, implement an error classifier to distinguish transient, structural, and model failures, then apply retry budgets with backoff, strategy mutation, or fallback model selection to maintain workflow continuity.

What is graceful degradation for autonomous agents when full output recovery is impossible?

Graceful degradation for autonomous agents means validating outputs against strict schemas, attempting auto-repair for missing fields, and ultimately returning salvaged partial results with clear error reports instead of completely aborting the workflow.

How do you validate strict JSON schemas and auto-repair broken tool outputs in long-running workflows?

Validate strict JSON schemas by checking every tool and model output against expected structures, then triggering auto-repair for missing or malformed fields to salvage usable results from broken tool outputs in long-running workflows.

When should I use fallback model selection versus prompt mutation for error classification?

Use fallback model selection when an error classifier detects model failures, but use prompt mutation and strategy mutation when the classifier identifies structural errors, reserving retry with backoff strictly for transient upstream API issues.

Can I use self-healing error classification for long-running workflows with unreliable tools and changing APIs?

Yes, self-healing error classification is explicitly designed for long-running autonomous agent workflows facing unreliable tools, changing APIs, and intermittent model errors, allowing them to detect failures and mutate recovery strategies without human intervention.
