Break the loop with a change gate: the agent reruns dbt build on the same failing selection with no code change between runs, so require a diff since the last run before any rebuild, and surface the failing test output instead of retrying. Use when an agent workflow that builds and tests dbt models and retries on fail…

Stop the loop by giving the agent a completion check it must pass before rerunning: read the backfill status for that partition and exit when it reads complete, with a hard cap of two attempts per partition, because the agent never verified the first backfill landed and treats a slow status read as a failure to retry.…

Fixes the Datadog failure "agent loop detected: agent keeps muting and unmuting same Datadog monitor error loop failure" by acting on the exact message, proving the fix on one item, then rerunning and reconciling counts. Use when this error blocks an export, review or check. Not for platform outages or permission erro…

Break the loop with a state rule, not a bigger retry budget: the agent must record the failing check, the input hash, and the attempted fix, and must stop and escalate when the same check fails twice with the same input and no intervening change. Use when an agent re-running the same failed data quality check in a loo…

A watchdog that retries without alerting is a silence machine: the agent looped a failing WAL check all weekend because retries had no budget and escalation had no trigger. Use when an agent monitoring Barman WAL archiving for PostgreSQL. Not for an archiving failure caused by a weekend maintenance window that was exp…
Follow the pagination to the end or do not report at all: the agent missed three nights of failures because it read the first page of job history and treated it as the whole record. Use when an agent auditing Cohesity backup job history. Not for a history genuinely too large for one pass, where the fix is querying per…
