Your agent says it stopped. What did it actually do?

A tool call times out. Someone presses Stop. A result arrives after the goal changed. An approval gets used for something it never covered. In each case the agent's own account of what happened is incomplete, and acting on it can do something twice, or do the wrong thing once.

This book takes those moments one at a time. Each chapter names a failure, reproduces it in a small synthetic run, builds the code that handles it, and ends with an exercise you run on your own machine.

  • Confirmed, failed, unknown: say what a run actually did
  • Retry without paying twice, and reconcile from evidence
  • Fence out stale workers, stale results and stale approvals
  • Reverse, compensate, and tell people the truth
  • Turn every failure into a test, then into a team drill
  • Python 3.10+, standard library only, no accounts or keys
