arXiv 2607.01641 defines Infinite Agentic Loops as a structural failure where a feedback path retriggers model, tool, agent, or workflow execution with no effective stopping bound. Consequences: cost exhaustion, model DoS, unbounded context growth, repeated external side effects. 68 of 74 findings confirmed across 47 projects. You don't need the tool to act on this. Enumerate every feedback edge in your pipeline and name its bound out loud. The ones you can't name are the bugs.
