Where should an AI agent’s time, loop, and token limits live?
An AI agent system needs a clear place for controls that stop runs from becoming too long or expensive. The main options are to put these inside an such as LangGraph or CrewAI, move them into a separate layer, or choose another structure.
The controls include , timeouts, and token caps, while the goal is to keep the main agent code small and readable. No example, comparison, or tested recommendation is provided, so the design question remains open.
Key points
- A system must decide where loop, time, and belong.
- The controls could live inside LangGraph or CrewAI.
- They could instead be separated into an layer.
- The main agent code should not become overloaded with operational checks.
- No -backed answer is given.
