## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic state machine to manage stability in agent-to-agent communication. It prevents cascading failures by monitoring service health and automatically transitioning between CLOSED, OPEN, and HALF_OPEN states. Use `get_current_status` to check real-time health and failure rates, `evaluate_cascading_risk` to assess ecosystem impact, and `predict_next_transition` to forecast upcoming state changes based on call history.

## Tools

### evaluate_cascading_risk
Assesses the impact of the current circuit state on the wider agent ecosystem

### get_current_status
Provides a real-time snapshot of the circuit's health and readiness

### predict_next_transition
Forecasts the likely next state change based on current trends

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the current status of the circuit with a failure threshold of 5 and a timeout of 30000ms?
```

**Response:** 
```
The current state is CLOSED, the failure rate is 0.0, and requests are allowed.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the next state if we have had 4 consecutive failures and the threshold is 5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted state is OPEN with high confidence because the consecutive failure count is approaching the threshold.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check the cascading risk for an upstream agent that is currently in the OPEN state with 10 downstream agents.
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is CRITICAL, as the OPEN state is currently blocking 10 downstream agents from receiving input.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my agent can still send requests?**
You can use the `get_current_status` tool. It returns an `isAllowed` boolean that indicates if the circuit is currently in a state (CLOSED or HALF_OPEN) that permits new requests.

**What happens if the failure rate is very high?**
If the failure rate exceeds 90%, the `get_current_status` tool will flag a `isSystemicIssue` as true, indicating a broad architectural or environmental failure.

**How can I see the impact on other agents?**
Use the `evaluate_cascading_risk` tool. It provides a risk level and a description of how the current state affects downstream agents in the ecosystem.
