agent-loop-breaker-py

Detect repeated agent steps and stop runaway loops. Pure Python, zero deps. Python port of @mukundakatta/agent-loop-breaker.

pip install agent-loop-breaker-py
from agent_loop_breaker import detect_loop, should_stop

events = [{"tool": "search"}, {"tool": "fetch"}] * 4
res = detect_loop(events, window=2, repeat_threshold=3)
# LoopDetection(looping=True, pattern="search>fetch", count=4)

if should_stop(events):
    raise RuntimeError("agent stuck in a loop")

API

detect_loop(events, *, window=4, repeat_threshold=3) -> LoopDetection

Scans events for a repeating window of length window. Returns the first window seen repeat_threshold times or more.

Each event is reduced to a signature via event.get("tool") or event.get("name") or event.get("type") (or str(event) for non-dicts).

should_stop(events, *, window=4, repeat_threshold=3) -> bool

Convenience wrapper returning the looping flag.
