TCP creates an abstraction layer with more reliability than what it's built on. If you can detect failure, you can create a retry loop, assuming you can understand the rules of the environment you're operating in.

Indeed, this is what makes autonomous agentic tool using systems robust as well. Those retry loops become ad-hoc where needed, and the agent can self correct based on error responses, compared to a defined workflow that would get stuck in said loop if it couldn't figure things out, or just error out the whole process.
