How does the engine decide when to escalate?

Escalation is triggered if the predicted turns to resolution exceed the remaining budget, if user satisfaction stays below 2 for three consecutive turns, or if agent confidence declines for three consecutive turns.

What is the purpose of the convergence rate?

The convergence rate measures the slope of agent confidence over the last five turns to determine if the agent is actually making progress toward a solution.

Can I reset the turn counter?

Yes, you can use `handle_conversation_reset` to adjust the budget when a user rephrases a request or requests a hard reset.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides a mathematical framework for managing AI conversation lifecycles. It calculates real-time health metrics, predicts how many turns are needed to reach a resolution, and identifies when an agent is 'spinning its wheels' through diminishing returns analysis. Use analyze_budget_status to monitor remaining resources, check_escalation_eligibility to trigger human handoffs, and calculate_handoff_metrics to quantify urgency. It is designed to prevent infinite loops and ensure user satisfaction by providing clear, data-driven signals for when an agent should step aside.
