These issues and PRs concern handling the case where a terminal command is blocked, suggesting or implementing early termination of the agent loop rather than allowing the LLM to continue attempting other tools. The theme is consistent across all members.

Open issues2

  • Issue#24806agent: BLOCKED terminal command should terminate the agent loop early
  • Issue#43201[Feature]: Suggestion: When the pre_tool_call hook returns a block result, support terminating the current agent loop to prevent the LLM from attempting other tools continuously.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.39: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
