# Monitoring agent logs for tool errors and conversation loops

Detect anomalous tool calls, repeated loops, and user friction across production agent traces

Inspect production agent traces and conversation logs to catch unintended behaviors like tool miscalls, infinite loops, and hallucinated parameters. Group recurring failures by pattern, diagnose likely root causes from prompt or context issues, and prepare actionable incident summaries for the engineering team.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Connect to the telemetry database and read new agent interaction sessions. Analyze traces for error indicators such as repeated failed tool calls, cyclic message loops, unexpected fallback triggers, or negative user feedback. When an anomaly pattern is identified, summarize the conversation context and isolate the failing prompt or schema. Draft an issue for GitHub or a diagnostic note, but ask for user approval before filing tickets or posting alerts to team channels.
