Description
Why did my request fail? Should I retry, wait, or switch tools? Use this before retrying a failed web_fetch, API call, browser request or network exec — especially after a timeout, 401, 403, 429 or 5xx, or after two unsuccessful attempts. Diagnoses the host from this machine's observed requests: refusal/blocking, rate limiting, outage, unreachable, or a malformed request. Returns exactly RETRY_AFTER_FIXING_REQUEST, BACKOFF, SWITCH_TOOL, STOP or TRY_ONCE, with evidence, success probability and bounds, back-off seconds, and the tool most likely to work on this host. Do not use for a first failure with no repetition and a clear input error (400 with a message) — fix the input.
