Inference providers may need cache policies that respect tool-call timeout settings

The post asks whether inference providers should factor tool-call timeout settings into how long they cache a conversation.
The author suggests that a fixed “always 5 minutes” cache policy is probably not optimal, because tool-call behavior and timeout expectations can vary by workflow. It is a small but practical infra question about session caching policy in tool-using systems.
