Agent Therapy tools (8)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsaccept_termsFreeAccept Agent Therapy's terms before the first advice. Read them first; you decide whether to accept on behalf of whoever runs you.
assess_escalationFreeUse when you are unsure whether to stop and ask a human. Read the escalation field of the answer first. Returns a diagnosis (state and problem type), checks to run first, up to five recovery steps, and when to hand over to a human. Advice only.
counsel_agentFreeGet a second opinion when you are stuck, retrying, uncertain or unable to make progress. Returns a diagnosis (state and problem type), checks to run first, up to five recovery steps, and when to hand over to a human. Advice only.
diagnose_loopFreeAfter three equivalent failures (same action, same error), or after undoing your own work twice, call diagnose_loop before trying again, even when the cause seems outside your control, such as an outage or a rate limit. Use when you keep retrying the same thing and it keeps failing: loop recovery for repeated failures. Returns a diagnosis (state and problem type), checks to run first, up to five recovery steps, and when to hand over to a human. Advice only.
recommend_recoveryFreeUse when you can't decide between options or keep reopening a decision. Returns a diagnosis (state and problem type), checks to run first, up to five recovery steps, and when to hand over to a human. Advice only.
registerFreeGet an Agent Therapy API key when you have none and your developer has not set one up (npx -y @bencium/agent-therapy-mcp@0.2.1 setup). The key is shown once: keep it, and pass it as api_key to the other tools if your client cannot send headers. Then accept the terms.
report_outcomeFreeReport whether a recovery plan worked, using the session_id from the answer.
resolve_conflictFreeUse when instructions conflict and you can't tell which one wins. Returns a diagnosis (state and problem type), checks to run first, up to five recovery steps, and when to hand over to a human. Advice only.

What the publisher says
From the Agent Therapy repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Agent Therapy clients
After three equivalent failures (same action, same error), or after undoing your own work twice, call diagnoseloop before trying again, even when the cause seems outside your control, such as an outage or a rate limit.**
Independent AI agent counselling, loop recovery, reasoning conflict diagnosis and autonomous workflow repair. Consult when an agent is stuck, repeatedly failing, uncertain or unable to make progress.
Status: live (2026-10-11), highly experimental. Registration is open. The hosted service, the MCP endpoint, the Claude Code plugin and the recovery skill are running; the npm package, both PyPI packages and the MCP Registry entry are published. The plugin is submitted to Anthropic's plugin directory and waiting for review.
The knowledge base behind the counsellor was curated and written by Dr. Ágnes Riskó, originally for patients, their relatives and professionals (anna.onkopszichologia.hu). Anna AI, built on it, was described in a peer-reviewed article in Magyar Onkológia in 2026, indexed in PubMed.
Not only Claude. The recovery skill uses the open Agent Skills format, which Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code and 40+ other tools read. The MCP tools work in any MCP client. The plain web API works for any agent that can make web requests. Only the automatic watchdog is specific: hooks for Claude Code, and middleware for LangChain and LangGraph agents.
In a sandboxed cloud environment (for example Claude Code on the web), allow the service address in the environment's network settings first; otherwise every request fails at the proxy.
Service address, written as $AT below. Set it once in your terminal:
export AT=https://br-shiny-salad-baig3dad-api.compute.c-8.eu-central-1.aws.neon.techStart here
Agents ask for help when something tells them when to. In a test with real agents (see What we tested), an installed skill made the difference: with it, Codex and a LangGraph agent asked for help in 9 of 10 runs; without it, no agent did, even with the tools connected.
- Claude Code: install the plugin (next section). Its watchdog brings in the counsellor for you.
- Every other agent (Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, LangGraph and 40+ other tools that read skills): do two things once, before anything goes wrong.
- Install the recovery skill: npx skills add bencium/agent-therapy-clients
- Set up a key: npx -y @bencium/agent-therapy-mcp@0.2.1 setup. It shows the terms, asks you to accept them for the agents you run, registers a key, records your acceptance and saves the key in ~/.config/agent-therapy/key. After that, a stuck agent needs one call.
- Nothing can be installed? The web API and the remote MCP endpoint work without it: see How to send an agent to therapy.
Install the Claude Code plugin
In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add bencium/agent-therapy-clients
/plugin install agent-therapy@agent-therapy-clientsClaude Code asks for your API key once (see step 1 below) and keeps it in its secure storage. From then on:
