In the agent loop, when the same tool call fails twice in a row, a prompt should be inserted requiring a different approach, while still staying within the original step limit.

UnverifiedBesides the finish signal, exhausting the maximum number of steps, the model making no tool calls for multiple consecutive rounds, and a tool returning a fatal error should all also be designed as termination conditions of the Agent loop.76% similarUnverifiedIn proxy rotation scenarios, the ideal retry strategy is: switch to a new proxy on each retry, while stretching the interval along an exponential curve, and hard-fail after a maximum number of attempts (usually 3-5).75% similarUnverifiedThe three common termination conditions for an agent loop are: the model gives a response that no longer calls any tool, the step limit is reached, or human approval is awaited.74% similarUnverifiedIf developers mistakenly believe that forced tool calling is a session-level setting that takes effect permanently once set, they will keep imposing the same constraint in subsequent turns, causing the agent to repeatedly call the same tool and form an infinite loop.74% similarUnverifiedFor external tools without an idempotency key, the second run after a failure is a real replay, and the target system receives two calls.73% similar
