A dynamic Workflow (the Workflow tool / multi-agent orchestration) returns FEWER results than it dispatched, and one or more parallel() agents "failed" — because during a transient server-side rate-limit storm the affected agents called StructuredOutput 50-90× each with EMPTY args (0 fields), failed schema validation every time, then died on a terminal API error. Use when: (1) a workflow fan-out comes back with N-of-M results and logs show "API Error: Server is temporarily limiting requests…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Workflow: schema agents empty-loop StructuredOutput under a rate-limit storm ## Problem A Workflow `parallel()`/`pipeline()` fan-out where each agent is forced to emit a large `StructuredOutput` schema can come back **degraded** (N-of-M results, not a clean crash) when a **transient server-side rate-limit** hits mid-run. The affected agents repeatedly call `StructuredOutput` with **empty arguments** (0 fields → schema-validation fail → retry → empty again), burn 50-90 attempts, then die on a terminal API error and resolve to `null` inside `parallel()`. The run "completes" but silently drops those agents' work — easy to mistake for "the analysis found nothing" rather than "the emission failed." This is **distinct** from `workflow-standalone-schema-agent-crash-and-args-string` (a *standalone* non-parallel schema agent that cleanly never calls StructuredOutput and crashes the *whole* run). Here the agents are inside `parallel()` (so the run survives), the failure is **rate-limit-induced empty payloads**, and it correlates with **large accumulated context** (deep code-tracing agents fail; a light agent that finished just before the storm succeeded). …

How to install
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/workflow-schema-agents-empty-loop-under-ratelimit@sha256:3e351d4fc2efe311The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
