In Agent systems, constraining cost with prompts alone is unreliable; refusal to execute at the tool layer is the last line of defense, and constraints should be enforced both in system instructions and as hard limits at the tool layer.

UnverifiedWhen building agent loops with tool calling, pure cost heuristics should not be allowed to determine routing based solely on prompt length; capability is a non-negotiable admission threshold.76% similarUnverifiedThe stopping conditions for an Agent cannot be left entirely to the model itself to decide; external programs must pre-set hard limits such as maximum execution rounds, runtime, token consumption, and cost caps.76% similarUnverifiedSystem prompts alone cannot solve the problem of an evaluation Agent going out of control, because the system prompt itself is one of the objects being evaluated; controls must be placed in the toolchain, where the model cannot modify or argue with them.76% similarUnverifiedRelying solely on prompt constraints to stop an Agent from performing high-risk operations such as "touching the wallet" is not reliable enough in real scenarios; the range of actions an Agent can execute should be hard-limited at the interface layer through permission boundaries.75% similarUnverifiedThe permission management measures of current mainstream Agent frameworks (tool-level whitelists, sandbox isolation, confirmation of sensitive operations) solve "can it" but not "should it".75% similar
