Agent Rollback Designer — design the recovery path before the failure, not during it

When an AI agent misbehaves in a payment flow, the question isn't whether you can roll back — it's whether you designed the rollback path before you deployed. A payment agent with no documented recovery path means your incident response is improvised under pressure. Design the rollback at build time.

Why this matters

The specific outcomes this tool produces — and the problems it prevents.

Compensating transactions designed before you need them

Every agent action that touches payment state needs a corresponding compensating transaction. An authorisation that can't be reversed cleanly, a state mutation without a rollback path — these are operational risks that compound when an agent misbehaves at scale.

Saga pattern rollback sequences modelled per flow

For multi-step payment flows, model the saga rollback sequence — which compensating transactions fire, in what order, and what happens when a compensating transaction itself fails. A saga without a rollback design is a distributed transaction waiting to produce inconsistent state.

Version and rollback strategy for agent behaviour changes

When agent logic changes, document the rollback path for the previous version — Step Functions state machine versioning, Lambda aliases, and the conditions that trigger a reversion. A behaviour change with no rollback strategy is a deployment risk.

Rollback logic exported as Step Functions ASL

Export the rollback workflow as Step Functions Amazon States Language JSON ready to deploy. The rollback design and the production implementation are the same document — no translation gap.


How it works

Structured inputs. Immediate output. No setup, no waiting, no consultant required.

1

Map your agent's state-changing actions

List each action your payment agent takes that modifies state — authorisation holds, database writes, SQS messages, downstream API calls. Each is a rollback design problem.

2

Design compensating transactions

For each state-changing action, define the compensating transaction that reverses it. Document the conditions under which it fires and the expected outcome.

3

Model saga rollback sequences

For multi-step flows, order the compensating transactions correctly. Define what happens when a compensating transaction fails — retry, alert, or manual intervention.

4

Define agent version rollback triggers

Set the conditions that trigger a rollback to the previous agent version — error rate threshold, business metric anomaly, manual trigger. Document the rollback procedure per condition.

5
