Kegagalan Umum dalam Putaran Agen

Perulangan Agen dan Mode Kegagalannya

Kegagalan 1: Perulangan Tak Berujung

# Example of an agent in an infinite loop:
# Step 1: reasoning='Need to search for Python docs'
#         tool='search_web', args={'query': 'Python documentation'}
# Step 2: reasoning='Search result was unhelpful, try again'
#         tool='search_web', args={'query': 'Python documentation'}
# Step 3: reasoning='Search result was unhelpful, try again'
#         tool='search_web', args={'query': 'Python documentation'}
# ... repeats until max_iterations or token budget is exhausted

print('Symptom: same tool + same arguments appearing repeatedly in steps')
print('Fix: detect repeated (tool, args) pairs and break the loop')

Kegagalan 2: Keadaan Macet

# Example of a stuck agent:
# Step 1: tool='search_web', args={'query': 'topic A'}
# Step 2: tool='search_web', args={'query': 'topic B'}  # different args
# Step 3: tool='search_web', args={'query': 'topic A'}  # back to first
# Step 4: tool='read_document', args={'url': '...'}
# Step 5: tool='search_web', args={'query': 'topic A'}
# ... no FINAL_ANSWER ever produced

print('Symptom: agent takes many steps but never calls FINAL_ANSWER')
print('Fix: max_iterations guard + force final answer if limit is near')

Kegagalan 3: Tidak Ada Jawaban Akhir

# An agent that never concludes:
def run_agent_bad(query: str, max_steps: int = 20) -> str:
    for step in range(max_steps):
        action = llm_decide_action(query, history)

        if action['type'] == 'tool':
            result = execute_tool(action)
            history.append(result)
        # BUG: No check for 'final_answer' type!
        # The agent loops until max_steps, returning None

    return None  # never actually returns an answer

# Fix: explicitly check for final_answer signal
def run_agent_good(query: str, max_steps: int = 20) -> str:
    for step in range(max_steps):
        action = llm_decide_action(query, history)

            return action['answer']  # exit cleanly
        execute_tool(action)
