Fixes an agent workflow failure behind this query: make the status page write idempotent, retry once with exponential backoff and a longer client timeout, and check whether the first attempt actually posted before retrying so subscribers never get duplicates. Use when an automated status page run fails with this patte…

Stops duplicate writes when a timed-out HTTP POST is retried: generate one idempotency key before the first attempt, reuse it on every retry, check state before re-posting, and back it with a server unique constraint. Use when retries double-create records, charges, or resources after timeouts. Not for safe GET retrie…
Fixes an agent losing the idempotency key on a journal POST retry, so the duplicate entry fails the ledger balance check: quarantine the duplicates, re-establish one key per intended journal, and make retries key-preserving. Use when a retry recreated an unkeyed journal. Not when the journal API has no duplicate at al…

Fixes an agent looping because the ERP keeps returning the same 500 unapplied payments every call: detect the repetition, change the query to a diff or paged scan, and treat the unapplied list as a data set to work through, not an endless feed. Use when the same records repeat on every poll. Not when new unapplied pay…

Fixes an agent retrying a failed journal-entry POST and double-posting the adjustment to the GL: use idempotency keys on journal creation, verify posting state before any retry, and reverse the duplicate. Use when a retry created two journals. Not for two intentionally separate adjustments.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - repeating the same quarantine action after the release api failed: the agent's retry loop never converged - [salesloft 429 'Too Many Requests' with no retry-after - agent's polling loop got the API k…

Fixes an agent looping on the same transaction page after its pagination cursor expired: detect the repeated page, restart pagination from a saved anchor, and treat cursor expiry as a restart signal. Use when the agent re-requests identical pages. Not when the API legitimately returns stable pages.
Stops fraud and payments agents retrying hard declines: maps issuer decline codes to hard versus soft handling, with do_not_honor and similar final codes ending retry and triggering a new payment method request. Use when an agent retries a declined card and worsens issuer standing. Not for soft declines like insuffici…
Fixes a load duplicated because an agent generated the same idempotency key for two different payloads on retry, covering key construction from payload content plus window, and server or table side enforcement. Use when a retry created duplicates with a colliding key. Not for a load with no idempotency mechanism at al…
