These options make it easy to process requests asynchronously and integrate seamlessly into larger distributed systems.

### Retry Policy

The Durable Agent supports Dapr Workflow's `RetryPolicy` with the its `WorkflowRetryPolicy`:

- `max_attempts`: max_attempts: Maximum number of retry attempts for workflow operations. Default is 1 (no retries). Set `DAPR_API_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable to override default.
- `initial_backoff_seconds`: Initial backoff duration in seconds. Default is 5 seconds.
- `max_backoff_seconds`: Maximum backoff duration in seconds. Default is 30 seconds.
- `backoff_multiplier`: Backoff multiplier for exponential backoff. Default is 1.5.
- `retry_timeout`: Total timeout for all retries in seconds.

All of the fields are optional. It can be passed to the Durable Agent during instantiation:

```python
from dapr_agents.agents.configs import WorkflowRetryPolicy
travel_planner = DurableAgent(
name="TravelBuddy",
...
retry_policy=WorkflowRetryPolicy(
max_attempts=5,
initial_backoff_seconds=10,
max_backoff_seconds=60,
backoff_multiplier=2.0,
retry_timeout=300,
)
...
)
```
