Northwind Health's drug interaction tool starts failing with transient network timeouts at a rate of 15% of requests. Which error handling approach is most appropriate?
Immediately open the circuit breaker to stop all calls to the drug interaction tool until the issue is resolved.
Apply retry with exponential backoff and jitter for the transient failures, while monitoring with metrics to determine if the failure rate continues to rise and warrants opening the circuit breaker.
Log the errors and let the failures propagate to the clinical agent to handle in its own error processing logic.
A clinical agent depends on version 2.1 of the drug interaction Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool. Your team needs to release version 3.0, which removes a deprecated parameter. According to semantic versioning governance, what should happen before deployment?
Deploy version 3.0 immediately—version 2.1 is still in the registry so agents that haven't updated can continue using it.
Run the CI/CD compatibility check that queries the registry for agents currently calling version 2.1, notify those agent owners, set a sunset date of at least 30 days, and block production deployment of version 3.0 until all current consumers either migrate or acknowledge the deprecation.
Announce the version 3.0 release in team documentation and allow agents to migrate at their own pace with no enforced deadline.
Your Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool registry is unavailable for 2 minutes during a maintenance window. Northwind Health's clinical agents need to continue operating. Which design best addresses this?
Prepopulate each clinical agent with hardcoded tool endpoints as a fallback.
Cache the last successful routing table from the registry in each routing service with a Time to Live (TTL) of 5 minutes, and use the cached version when live registry queries fail.
Pause all clinical agent operations during registry maintenance windows to prevent routing to incorrect tool endpoints.
