Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source system detects reasoning loops, repeated tool calls, and collapsing output patterns before an AI agent keeps spending.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
Developers running autonomous AI agents
Worth noticing
Six detectors are marked implemented, including compression distance and edit-distance decay.

Field notes

The system watches both generated text and agent actions, allowing it to catch paraphrased repetition, exact token spans, recurring tool calls, and other forms of behavioral stalling. Six methods are labeled implemented, while drift, entropy-collapse, and verifier-model checks remain at different planned stages. The page provides Python, Node.js, and cURL entry points and shows a session-level status check that can break an agent loop.
