How does the buffer allocation work?

The engine automatically reserves a 10% buffer of the total workflow deadline to protect against unexpected latency before allocating time to individual agents.

What is a cascading delay?

A cascading delay occurs when one agent exceeds its allocated time, consuming the time intended for subsequent agents in the chain. You can use `simulate_cascading_delay` to model this impact.

Can I use different distribution strategies?

Yes, you can choose between equal_distribution, proportional_distribution, or critical_path_based via the `calculate_timeout_allocation` tool.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine for managing time limits across autonomous agent chains. It helps prevent cascading failures by calculating precise timeout allocations using strategies like equal, proportional, or critical path distribution. Use calculate_timeout_allocation to distribute time, analyze_risk_and_impact to assess deadline miss probabilities, and simulate_cascading_delay to predict how a single agent's delay affects the entire workflow.
