What's the purpose of

max_nested_fnc_calls

?

Thanks for reaching out, Purna. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

Yeah, in what context will the agent be stuck in the infinite loop?

An agent might get stuck in an infinite loop if there is no limit on the nesting depth of function calls, leading to functions continuously calling other functions without a termination condition. The

max_nested_fnc_calls

parameter prevents this by dropping the function context once the nesting depth reaches or exceeds the configured value, ensuring the loop is broken. Sources: livekit.agents.pipeline API documentation

Can you give me an real world example where this could happen? for example can it happen on tool_call?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific real-world example involving an infinite loop with

max_nested_fnc_calls

, including scenarios with

tool_call

. However, the mechanism is designed to prevent such loops by limiting the depth of nested function calls, which could theoretically occur if a tool or function repeatedly invokes itself or other functions without a termination condition.
