# loop-gate

> Use this tool when you need to detect and prevent recursive agent loops in MCP tool calls, solving problems of infinite loops and potential system crashes. It takes in MCP tool call data as input and outputs a signal to break the loop if repeated calls are detected within 30 seconds. Use loop-gate in contexts where MCP tool calls are made in rapid succession to prevent system overload.
