Retries multiplied token spend and latency without improving completion rate.
Illustrative case study
An agentic workflow repeated the same failing path after tool errors, timeouts and malformed outputs.
Retries multiplied token spend and latency without improving completion rate.
Clustered failures by request, trace, tool and model response category.
Stopped blind retries, selected fallback actions and escalated sensitive failures.
Lower waste, faster failure recovery and clearer operational governance.
This is an illustrative scenario for product education. Real savings should be validated using customer telemetry, deployment level, provider pricing and answer integrity checks.
