Handling infinite tool loops when APIs fail.

• Problem: Agents were getting stuck calling the same fallback tool repeatedly when a downstream API returned a non-200 status.
• What we tried: Implemented a token-budget circuit breaker inside the runtime loop.
• Result: After 3 failed retries, the agent now escalates to a human operator cleanly instead of spinning.
• Next: Build the human-in-the-loop UI.

Context window exhaustion during long planning phases.

• Problem: The system prompt and scratchpad were eating up 80% of the token limit before tool execution even began.
• What we tried: Refactored the prompt into a dynamic tree. Only the tools relevant to the current Intent are loaded into context.
• Result: Token usage dropped by 45% per step.
• Next: Implement parallel tool calling.
