The Deep Turns page identifies turns where an agent made an unusually high number of consecutive tool calls. These often indicate that the agent is stuck — retrying a failing approach, looping through similar edits, or unable to make progress on a task. Use this page to find the most expensive and repetitive turns across all your agents, then jump directly to the Session Timeline to understand what went wrong.

​
How it works

Claw Lens analyzes tool-call sequences within each turn and measures two things:
  • Depth — the total number of consecutive tool calls in the turn
  • Unique ratio — the proportion of distinct tool-call patterns in the sequence. A low unique ratio means the agent is repeating the same calls over and over.
Tool-call arguments are normalized before comparison: UUIDs, timestamps, and absolute paths are stripped so that two calls to the same tool with slightly different paths are treated as the same pattern.
Depth thresholds are color-coded: yellow for warn-level depth, orange for error-level, and red for severe. The exact thresholds are shown in the “How it works” tooltip on the page header.

KPI strip

Five metrics at the top of the page summarize the current view:

​
Depth distribution

A horizontal histogram groups deep turns into three severity buckets: warn, error, and severe. This gives you a quick sense of whether deep turns are mostly mild or genuinely problematic.

Filtering and sorting

  • Agent filter — select a specific agent or view all agents
  • Time range — today, last 7 days, last 30 days, or all time
  • Sort — by depth (deepest first), by unique ratio (most repetitive first), or by cost (most expensive first)

​
Empty state

If no deep turns are found, the page shows a checkmark with “No deep turns.” This changes depending on whether you have active filters — if filters are set, it means no deep turns match the current criteria, not that there are none at all.
