To detect lost-in-middle attention patterns in long-running AI agent conversations, run the analyze_agent_context function. It identifies attention misallocation across extended dialogues and provides a health snapshot with actionable recommendations.

Context poisoning in multi-turn agent sessions is the introduction of contradictions or misleading information that degrades reliability. You can diagnose it using poisoning detection and health scoring to identify contradictions and safeguard context integrity.

To identify task-switch confusion and distraction in long-context retrieval-heavy workflows, apply attention mapping and health analysis. These detect the five degradation patterns—lost-in-middle, poisoning, distraction, confusion, and clash—to surface critical gaps.

Yes, you can get actionable recommendations to implement safety guardrails for multi-turn reasoning. The health scoring mechanism provides specific guidance to reorganize context, isolate tasks, and establish guardrails that mitigate degradation.

A limitation when diagnosing context degradation patterns in long-context tasks is that the analysis depends on the provided conversation data. It surfaces five specific degradation patterns but requires applying the recommended reorganization and guardrails manually to improve reliability.
