Error Classification Framework

An Error Classification Framework is essential for developing effective recovery strategies in agentic systems. Proper classification maps each error type to its specific recovery path, preventing wasted retries or missed escalations.

Categories

1. Tool Errors: External failures. Recovery: Retry/Fallback.
2. Reasoning Errors: Internal model failures. Recovery: Prompt/Context adjustment.
3. Environment Errors: Infrastructure failures. Recovery: Monitor/Wait.
