Learn error handling patterns for production AI agents to prevent pipeline failures
Action Steps
- Implement retry mechanisms with exponential backoff to handle transient errors
- Use circuit breakers to detect and prevent cascading failures
- Configure fallback behaviors for critical components like API calls
- Monitor and log errors to facilitate quick debugging and resolution
- Apply idempotence principles to ensure safe retries and prevent data corruption

You have a document processing pipeline. It ingests contracts, extracts key clauses, validates them against policy, and generates a summary. Monday morning it processes 200 documents without a hiccup. Tuesday at 2 AM, Anthropic’s API returns a 429, the extraction node throws, and the entire pipeline stops. Not just the one document — the whole batch. Your on-call engineer spends 45 minutes figuring out it was a transient rate limit that would have resolved itself with a 2-sec
