v0.1.0 · now available on PyPI

Stop AI agents from burning money in loops.

AgentTrafficCop is a runtime circuit breaker for multi-agent systems. It validates every handoff, fingerprints every payload, and trips before a loop empties your API budget.

01 — Features

Three primitives,
sitting between your agents.

Schema shield

Every handoff validated against a strict Pydantic v2 contract before it reaches the next agent. Malformed payloads are rejected at the door.

Loop detection

SHA-256 fingerprinting on every payload. Identical repeats and A↔B ping-pongs trip the breaker. Step counters catch the rest.

Circuit breaker

When thresholds breach, the response carries structured diagnostics. Your orchestrator decides: halt, alert, or escalate.

02 — How it works

Five lines to add it
to your orchestrator.

        your_orchestrator.py
        Python
      
from agenttrafficcop import Guard, LoopDetected

guard = Guard(url="http://localhost:8000", api_key="your-key")

try:
    result = await guard.check(
        session_id="run-42",
        sender="coder",
        recipient="reviewer",
        payload={"diff": "fix typo"},
    )
    print("approved at step", result.step)
except LoopDetected as e:
    print("loop caught:", e.error_code)

Runs as a standalone FastAPI service. Works with LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or raw asyncio. The SDK ships a LangGraph adapter — wrap any node in one line.
