Adds a way to except specific tools from the loop-termination detection
Agents, having no time perception, can sometimes start background tasks and repeatedly poll them and obtain the same response because not enough time has passed. This would cause the whole agent loop to get forcefully terminated.
Let's exempt the background agent tools to alleviate the immediate issue, and rethink the strategy if more problematic scenarios occur (background tasks/processes might also have the same issue)
