A zero-dependency Python loop detector for AI agents

SMRTR summary

savi-loop-guard is a zero-dependency Python library that detects when AI agents get stuck in repetitive loops — either calling tools too rapidly or repeating the same tool too many times. Unlike similar packages, it offers a check_before_call() method that stops the loop before it happens, not just after. All thresholds are configurable, and no API key or external service is needed.
