How to set stop conditions for an AI agent

An agent needs explicit reasons to stop, not only instructions to keep trying.

  1. 01

    Define successful completion

    Name the evidence and state that prove the task is done.

  2. 02

    Cap effort

    Set tool-call, time, cost and retry limits.

  3. 03

    Define escalation

    Stop on missing authority, conflicting evidence or high-risk uncertainty.
