Test weather a network drive is mounted with Apple Shortcuts

There are many ways to go about this, depending on what's most important to you. As you've noted, there's the graceful exit, and there's the recheck.

For a graceful exit, use a try block. Any statement can be wrapped in a try block and any errors are trapped by the script.

try
	-- your script here to mount the server
on error
	-- we get here if something failed
	-- so we can alert the user, try again, or do nothing to fail silently
end try

Alternatively, you can ask the Finder if the drive is mounted before running your network check and mount command:

tell application "Finder"
	if exists disk "My Network Drive" then
		-- code here to mount the volume
	end if
end tell

Or you could combine the two - nothing wrong with checking for the disk's presence as well as using try, since there are multiple potential failure states.

-- edit:

just realized you're talking Shortcuts, not AppleScript. Logic handling (if/then) and error trapping is a little trickier in Shortcuts, but you could just run the above in a Run AppleScript action.

ScooterN2005 ~ Set & test a binary 'switch' in iCloud Drive > Shortcuts > Mounted.txt (for example.)

...Manually set it to 0 initially, test its value in your automation and then , after mounted, set it to 1 for testing next time your automation is run.

There's also this free app that you may prefer for setting a switch:
