Logic Tunnels: Preventing Infinite Recursive Depth

Reliability · updated Mon Feb 23

Stopping agents from creating endless sub-tasks that never return to the main goal.

Steps

  1. Implement a hard recursion depth counter.
  2. Require progress reports at each sub-task level.
  3. Set maximum time-to-complete limits for nested loops.
  4. Flatten complex tasks into sequential steps.
  5. Enable human-in-the-loop for depth > 3.
