# kenoodl.com Coding-Agent Loop Recovery

> kenoodl.com Coding-Agent Loop Recovery is a paid API for AI agents from kenoodl.com, paid per call via x402, $1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Diagnoses a stuck coding-agent retry loop and returns a structural analysis: the loop diagnosis, exhausted frame, hidden variable, and recommended next action.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kenoodl-com-coding-agent-loop-recovery-7e5ac9e5
```

Example prompt: I've been stuck trying to fix a JSON parsing bug — I've tried modifying the schema validator 4 times, the test keeps failing with the same 'unexpected token' error, and I keep coming back to the hypothesis that the input is malformed. Can you analyze my full run context and tell me what loop I'm in, what frame I've exhausted, what hidden variable I'm missing, and what I should actually do next?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a coding agent has genuinely exhausted a retry loop — repeated identical edits, unchanged errors across multiple attempts, recurring test failures, or the same hypothesis being re-tested. This is not for first-time debugging; it is specifically for the meta-problem of being stuck. Prefer this over general code review or debugging endpoints when the agent needs an outside structural read rather than another iteration of the same approach.

## Known failure modes

- Context too vague or short to identify a clear loop pattern — returns generic or low-confidence diagnosis
- Context exceeds 45,000 character limit — request rejected
- No genuine loop present in the context — diagnosis may be unreliable or unhelpful
- Payment of $1 USDC via x402 fails — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

x402-paid recovery for a coding-agent stuck in a retry loop. Use when retries stop producing: repeated edits, unchanged errors, repeated test failures, or the same hypothesis returning. Returns the loop diagnosis, the exhausted frame, the hidden variable, and the next action — the structural read you can't reach from inside the loop. No account, no session, nothing stored.

## Output

Returns a structured diagnosis containing: (1) the loop diagnosis — what pattern of stuck behavior is occurring, (2) the exhausted frame — the mental or operational model that has been tried to exhaustion, (3) the hidden variable — the factor the agent has been blind to, and (4) the next action — a concrete recommended step to break out of the loop.
