Hard limits are a good first layer but they don't tell you why the agent is looping. Retrying because it's confused, retrying because a dependency is flaky, and genuine planning loops are three different problems with different fixes. What helped us was logging the agent's intent at each step, and if it's asking the same underlying question three times in different syntax, that's the signal to bail early rather than burning through your iteration budget.
