What is AI agent decision logging ?

It's tracking every internal choice—delegating, judging, terminating—with timestamps and hashes, exposing wastes like loops your traces miss.

How do you fix AI agent delegation loops?

Add chain refs to events; break if handing back to recent caller. Drops loops to zero, saves compute and cash.

No built-in caps in most frameworks. Set max 3 for flaky ones, log failures, proceed partially—prioritizes delivery over perfection.

Everyone thought AI agents would run themselves. Then I logged 10,847 decisions—and watched $23 vanish into loops and retries. Time to wake up.
