What is LangGraph Plan-Execute-Validate (PEV)?

PEV adds a Validator node and Python Router to standard Plan-Execute, scoring outputs (0-1), enabling retries/replans, and optimizing costs.

How does LangGraph PEV handle agent retries?

Validator scores each step; below 0.80? Router injects feedback, retries up to 2x per step, then replans once before failing.

Is the PEV template free for production use?

Yes—open source fork on GitHub, battle-tested in life sciences over millions of records.
