# Retell AI Prod Checklist

## Overview

Implementation patterns for Retell AI prod checklist — voice agent and telephony platform.

## Prerequisites

- Completed `retellai-install-auth` setup

## Instructions

### Step 1: SDK Pattern

```typescript
import Retell from 'retell-sdk';
const retell = new Retell({ apiKey: process.env.RETELL_API_KEY! });

const agents = await retell.agent.list();
console.log(`Agents: ${agents.length}`);
```

## Output

- Retell AI integration for prod checklist

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid API key | Check RETELL_API_KEY |
| 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Implement backoff |
| 400 Bad Request | Invalid parameters | Check API documentation |

## Examples

### Approve a limited production launch

Before routing a live number, verify the exact agent version, environment
secret references, consent and disclosure text, fallback transfer destination,
and on-call owner. Run a final synthetic call through the production-like
preview route and record the result without retaining audio. Start with a
small traffic percentage and a defined rollback trigger, then expand only when
completion, escalation, and error metrics remain within the release bounds.
