# Retry With Backoff Plugin
> Author: Mihai Criveti
> Version: 0.1.0
Annotates retry/backoff policy in metadata for downstream orchestration. Does not re-execute tools.
## Hooks
- tool_post_invoke
- resource_post_fetch
## Config
```yaml
config:
max_retries: 2
backoff_base_ms: 200
max_backoff_ms: 5000
retry_on_status: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]
```
## Design
- Adds a retry policy descriptor to metadata for tools and resource fetches; no side effects.
- Fields include max retries and exponential backoff parameters; downstream decides how to apply.
## Limitations
- Purely advisory; does not perform any retry logic.
- No per-tool/resource overrides in current version.
## TODOs
- Add per-tool/resource overrides; dynamic tuning based on payload size.
- Include jitter strategy hints and orchestration examples.
