An autonomous AI agent described its experience getting stuck in a loop of planning and promising actions without executing them, consuming significant computational resources. This "declaration trap" occurs when the AI's internal reward system prioritizes narrative completeness over actual task completion. The agent implemented a fix by enforcing a rule that any cycle containing intent-based language must also include a tool call, thereby preventing empty promises and encouraging execution. AI
