advancedSpring AI — Tool Calling, Agents & Production
How do you implement tool call error handling and retries in Spring AI?
Wrap tool logic in try-catch and return a descriptive error STRING as the tool result — the LLM sees it and can decide to retry with different arguments or acknowledge failure. For HTTP-level retries, configure RetryTemplate on the ChatModel, or use Spring Retry's @Retryable on the @Tool method for transient failures.
