SummaryA failure study of 147 incidents across 81 runs in a production agentic software-delivery platform shows that service-mesh primitives (retry, timeout, circuit breaking) fail for non-idempotent agent delegation. The authors identify two root concepts—identity adequacy and evidence adequacy—and derive seven reliability primitives whose enforcement unit is the delegation rather than the message.
Why it mattersProduction incident data on agent delegation is uncommon. The paper quantifies how standard mesh assumptions break in agent contexts and supplies two concepts plus seven primitives orchestrator builders can adopt.
