Agents in Production
A field guide to running agents against real work instead of a demo: tool-call loops that don't terminate, context that silently rots, permissions that are either too loose or too strict to ship. Each failure mode gets a recognizable signature, a cause, a fix, and the guardrail that stops it recurring.

A composite incident: 40 retries in nine minutes.
A browser-automation step hit a page that returned a 200 status but rendered a CAPTCHA instead of the expected form. The parsing step found no recognizable fields, classified that as "form not found — retry navigation" instead of "unexpected content — escalate," and reloaded the same URL 40 times in nine minutes. What actually stopped it wasn't an internal safeguard — it was a rate limiter on the target site blocking the account's IP.
Post-incident, "no recognizable form fields" was reclassified from a transient to a structural failure category with a ceiling of one attempt, and CAPTCHA-shaped content was added as its own case that escalates straight to a human-review queue instead of retrying at all.
— excerpt ends. Four more failure modes, each with a cause, a fix, and a guardrail, in the complete guide.
Buy it if. Skip it if.
Built for you if
- You have an agent past the demo stage and it's touching real user data or spend
- You want named failure modes and fixes, not general agent theory
- You're about to scope permissions for an agent and want the tradeoffs laid out first
Skip it if
- You haven't built an agent yet — this assumes something is already running
- You're only using single-turn LLM calls with no tool use — most of this won't apply
- You want a specific framework's API docs — this is failure patterns, framework-agnostic
