An open-source tool named Wattage has been developed to address blind spots in AI agent loop guards. Traditional loop guards often rely on hashing tool calls to detect repetitive actions, but this method fails to identify fuzzy loops, semantic oscillations, or productive-looking stalls where arguments change slightly or actions alternate. Wattage introduces a nonconvergence detector that measures progress using signals like evidence gain, state delta, oscillation, growth-vs-information, and goal proximity to classify loops more accurately.
