Function: canResume()

canResume(error): boolean

Defined in: src/core/runCheckpoint.ts:361

Can agent.resumeOnError(checkpoint) plausibly succeed for this failure?

true for the transient classes resume exists for; false for the ones where replaying the same request reproduces the same refusal (a request too large for the context window, rejected credentials, a malformed request). Branch on this instead of reading the message — a retry loop that resumes a non-resumable failure is an expensive infinite loop.

Parameters

error

unknown

Returns

boolean

Example

import { canResume, RunCheckpointError } from 'agentfootprint';

try {
  await agent.run({ message });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof RunCheckpointError && canResume(err.cause)) {
    await agent.resumeOnError(err.checkpoint);
  } else {
    throw err; // fix the request; the checkpoint is evidence, not a retry handle
  }
}
