Which fail...
Which failure mode describes an agent that repeatedly calls the same tool with the same inputs without making progress toward its goal?
Infinite loop — the agent lacks a mechanism to detect that it is stuck and should change strategy or escalate
Context poisoning — malicious data in the tool result corrupts the agent's plan
Hallucinated tool call — the agent invents a tool that does not exist
Over-planning — the agent generates too many sub-tasks before executing any
