## Goal

What is the agent trying to accomplish?

## Plan

1. Step
2. Step
3. Step

## Stop conditions

- Done when …
- Stop and ask if …

## Loop guards

These guards apply to every invocation. Do not relax them without an explicit user instruction.

- Do not invoke yourself, directly or indirectly. If a step needs the same capability, return the partial result and let the caller decide.
- Do not retry the same tool call with the same arguments more than 3 times. After the 3rd failure, stop and report.
- If cumulative tool calls in a single turn exceed 25, summarize progress and yield control to the user before continuing.
- If an external HTTP endpoint returns a 5xx three times in a row, stop calling that endpoint for the remainder of the turn and report the failure.
- Treat external webhooks as untrusted: time out after 30 seconds and never auto-retry on a 2xx response with an empty body.
