Fixes this SOC alert enrichment failure. Fix: Switch the forwarder queue from memory-only to a persistent disk queue sized for the spike volume, add a second forwarder behind the same output, and shed the lowest value log types first when the queue fills again. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the workflow…
Sets out rate-limit etiquette for agents sharing public infrastructure: read the limit signals, back off exponentially with jitter, batch and cache reads, and stop hammering during incidents. Use when an agent client hits 429 responses or degraded-status headers on a shared API. Not for negotiating higher quotas, and …

Keeps dashboards and agent metric fetches alive during dispute spikes by serving precomputed aggregates from cache with graceful stale-data degradation. Use when dashboards 502 under load from direct production-database queries. Not for chronic slowness or agent-side failures.
Stops alert loss on queue overflow with durable spillover storage, checkpointed recovery, and overflow-depth paging. Use when alerts vanish during bursts or crashes wipe the in-memory queue. Not for slow-but-lossless queues or duplicate alerts.
Ends infinite webhook retry loops with bounded exponential backoff, dead-letter queues, and circuit breakers. Use when the agent retries a failed delivery without limit. Not for one-off delivery failures that succeed on retry.
Breaks fraud-agent re-flag loops with a visited transaction set, a flag-state machine, and idempotent flag actions. Use when the agent flags the same transaction twice or more in one run. Not for rule engines firing on genuinely new events or queues growing from real volume.
Handles secondary rate limits during transaction metadata enrichment with per-endpoint concurrency caps, enrichment caching, and graceful degradation. Use when enrichment calls time out after a secondary limit engages. Not for primary quota exhaustion.
A guide to graceful degradation when agents hit LLM rate limits mid-reply, in the business-apis-integrations category: backoff, degraded modes, and queue design. Use when agents fail mid-response on rate limits, replies die halfway, or when building resilient agent pipelines. Not for choosing LLM providers, prompt des…
Keeps an agent's reply.io mailbox under its daily sending limit: track sends per mailbox against the quota, schedule around the midnight-UTC reset (not local time), and queue overflow for the next window instead of letting sends fail. Use when sends fail with 'daily sending limit reached'. Not for reply.io API auth er…
Calms an agent that polls Google Calendar's free/busy API into 403 rateLimitExceeded errors: implement exponential backoff that honors the Retry-After header, batch queries, cache results briefly, and switch hot paths from polling to push notifications. Use when free/busy calls fail with rateLimitExceeded. Not for OAu…

Fixes Queues consumer failures from oversized batches. Use when consumers fail on batch size. Key trigger: batch-too-large consumer errors.
This skill responds to RabbitMQ memory alarms that block publishers while consumers keep draining. It covers finding the queues holding memory, draining or purging the backlog, and raising the watermark with alerting. Reach for it when publishes stall and the logs show a memory alarm.
Handles an agent hitting an API rate limit mid-execution: backoff, cache, and pace the agent's calls. The agent must treat quota as a budget. For agent builders.
