Design automatic stopping conditions for this agent. Agent: [DESCRIBE] Runaway scenarios: [LOOPS, RETRIES, COST, VOLUME, DURATION] Current limits: [DESCRIBE, OR "none"] Produce: 1. Every runaway mode this agent could enter 2. For each: the signal that detects it, the threshold, and the action 3. Hard limits: total tool calls, total tokens, total cost, wall clock, iterations 4. Behavioural limits: same tool called N times with the same arguments, no progress in N steps, repeated identical errors 5. What to do on trip: stop, escalate, degrade, or pause for approval 6. What the agent is told when a breaker trips 7. What the user is told 8. What is logged 9. How a tripped run is resumed, if it should be Then: 10. Which limits should be per-run, per-user, per-hour, and global? 11. What is the default when a limit is not configured? It should never be unlimited. 12. What would a well-behaved run look like against these limits — am I setting them so tight that normal work trips them?
