# AdsAgent Reliability

+ Follow [routing](connection-routing.md) and [data rules](data-boundary.md).

1. Classify as read retry, queued work, known-not-sent write,

uncertain write, or operator review.

2. Obey `next_action`, `task_ref`, `Retry-After`, and capability

gates. Wait for `poll_after_ms` before each task poll and stop at terminal;

- retain the task reference at a deadline; never resubmit.

+ retain task refs at deadlines; never resubmit.

Never infer a retry from prose alone.

3. Retry only bounded reads or operations explicitly proven not sent. Never

replay a confirm or parallelize recovery.

4. Use terminal results. Preserve completeness, receipts,

continuation, and `support_ref` boundaries.

5. For reconciled Meta create/copy, follow read-only

- `create_reconciliation.next_action` once; it verifies live state, not spend,

- and never authorizes replay.

+ `create_reconciliation.next_action` once; never replay.

6. After two failures or disputed data, follow

[support-reporting.md](support-reporting.md) with the latest `support_ref`.

7. Stop on unclassified, permission, or operator-review outcomes.

- 8. Legacy session recovery applies only after a negotiated legacy protocol;

- modern MCP `2026-07-28` is stateless.

Read [recovery-contract.md](recovery-contract.md); when advertised,

[mutation-lifecycle-contract.md](mutation-lifecycle-contract.md) and

[plan-reconciliation-contract.md](plan-reconciliation-contract.md). Use

[retry-parser.md](retry-parser.md) for backoff and

[meta-quota-plan.md](meta-quota-plan.md) for strict Meta quota defer.

- [Data boundary](data-boundary.md) applies.
