I built an evolving self modifying AI agent that monitors webpages without constant LLM calls

Repo link Background Many AI agents have these two big problems. Problem 1: Token waste during waiting A lot of agents I've seen handle "waiting" poorly. If you want the agent to monitor a webpage until something changes - like a price update, a status change, or a specific piece of text appearing - the usual approach is to either: keep calling the LLM in a loop ("is it there yet? is it there yet?") That burns through tokens and requests even though the agent isn't really doing that much. Problem 2: Fixed toolsets Many agents ship with a fixed set of tools.
