An agent completes a task in 30 steps: it calls the model, searches, writes to the database, and calls the model again. Suppose each step fails once in a hundred: the network flickered, the API returned “overloaded.” Then the task will run to completion in 74% of cases. One in four will fail. With a 3% failure rate per step, only 40% will run to completion.For this calculation, step failures are assumed to be independent and transient.In the demo, the agen
