Hackathon challenge: a self-healing agent that hot-patches tool schemas at runtime
parathalovespaneer · reddit · 2026-10-13
A developer shares a hackathon problem statement: build an autonomous self-healing interface where, when an API returns runtime errors like 422 or 400, the system detects the breaking schema change (field renames, type conversions, nesting changes, required headers), deduces the new schema, hot-patches the agent's tool definitions in memory with full patch logging, and completes the workflow with no manual restart. Standard frameworks either throw unhandled exceptions or feed raw JSON errors to agents, which then retry invalid parameters until out of iterations. Success is measured by adaptation rate, recovery time, and token overhead versus a baseline agent.
