Teaches a coding agent to stop retrying a failing tool call blindly. Use it when an agent loop keeps re-firing the same failing call, burns through its attempt budget, or risks double-executing side effects after a timeout. Covers error classification (transient vs terminal), bounded retries with exponential backoff p…
