VerifiedWithout the constraints of a task orchestration loop, agents may fall into infinite loops or generate uncontrolled resource consumption.76% similarUnverifiedA typical failure mode in Agent systems is falling into a loop, where the agent repeatedly executes similar actions without converging, wasting computing resources and driving up costs.72% similarUnverifiedTraditional software engineering debugging methods (breakpoints, step-by-step execution, log output) fail in multi-agent systems because agent behavior is probabilistic rather than deterministic.71% similarUnverifiedWhen a developer has no understanding of the underlying logic, they cannot diagnose the root cause of problems and can only repeatedly ask AI to regenerate, becoming trapped in a cycle of stagnant quality.68% similarUnverifiedAn unattended loop is an infinitely error-prone loop; unsupervised AI loops carry the dual risks of runaway costs and runaway quality degradation.68% similar
