Webhook senders like Slack and GitHub stop retrying or disabling subscriptions due to LLM call timeouts, ensuring reliable event processing without manual intervention.
The agent identifies that webhook senders have strict timeout limits (e.g., Slack 3s, GitHub 10s) which are often exceeded by LLM calls. It configures AnyHook as a relay to answer the sender immediately (200 OK) and then processes the LLM call asynchronously. This prevents the sender from hanging up, retrying excessively, or deleting the webhook subscription. The agent verifies the setup ensures the relay holds the event for up to 60 seconds, allowing the LLM to complete without affecting the sender's timeout clock.

Prompt: Configure AnyHook to act as a relay for my webhook handlers that call LLMs. I need to prevent senders like Slack and GitHub from timing out and disabling my webhooks. Set up the relay to answer the sender immediately and process the LLM call in the background with retries.
