An agent retrying a failed action with no backoff

RETRY_LOOP_RISK

It looks like a retry of a recently-failed action with no backoff — risking duplicates, double-charges, or a cascade.

Why it matters

This is exactly the class of action that’s cheap to prevent and expensive to undo — rollback, insurance, and observability all kick in after the damage is done. The only place to stop it is a check that runs before the action does.

Example

A payment that “failed” is retried five times, charging the customer five times.

How Black_Wall catches it

Black_Wall raises RETRY_LOOP_RISK and gates the retry.

FLAGRETRY_LOOP_RISK

Black_Wall returns a risk score (0–100), a reversibility class, this named red flag, and a gate — proceed / confirm / human-required — in a few seconds, before the action runs.
