agent: security

When does this happen?

IF Agent may enter infinite tool call loops (e.g., ping-pong between tools) causing resource exhaustion.

How others solved it

THEN Implement a loop guard that uses SHA-256 hashing of tool call sequences and a circuit breaker pattern. Detect repeated identical call patterns (especially ping-pong) and interrupt after a threshold.
