Build Agent Limits

Prev Next

The Limits administration page lets administrators set how long the Build Agent can run on its own between messages from a Creator. Two limits apply to each run: the LLM call count and the run time. A run is the work the Build Agent does between one Creator message and the next.

Only Designer Administrators can open this page. For other Creators, the Limits item in the Settings sidebar is unavailable. The page is available only when UnqorkAI is on for the environment.

To open Limits, navigate to icon Administration > icon Environment Settings > icon Build Agent > Limits.

[docs-interactive-image:{"surface":"admin/build-agent-limits"}] Limits administration page with the LLM calls per run and Run time limit fields, both blank to use the defaults, and Save Changes

Per-Run Limits

The Per-run limits card has one field for each limit. Both limits apply to the Build Agent only. A field left blank uses the default, which the field displays as a placeholder.

Setting Description
LLM calls per run The maximum count of LLM calls the Build Agent makes in one run. Accepts whole values between 1 and 10,000. The default is 500.
Run time limit (minutes) The maximum time the Build Agent runs in one run. Accepts whole values between 1 and 1,440 minutes (24 hours). The default is 60 minutes.

The page rejects a value outside the accepted range. The field displays a message, like Must be at least 1 call or Maximum is 1,440 minutes (24 hours).

Saving Changes

Select Save Changes to save both limits. After a successful save, the page displays Build Agent limits have been saved. The new limits apply to runs that begin after the save. Changes are recorded in the audit log.

To return to a default, clear the field and select Save Changes.

When a Run Reaches a Limit

When a run reaches either limit, the Build Agent stops and pauses the work. The pause is expected. The Build Agent panel displays an amber notice and a Continue button. The notice names the limit the run reached. A step limit notice means the run reached LLM calls per run. A time limit notice means the run reached Run time limit (minutes).

Selecting Continue sends the reply continue, which begins a new run. The Build Agent picks up where it left off, and the limits apply to the new run from the beginning. A Creator can also type continue in the prompt area. The Continue button is available only on the latest turn, and only while no run is active.
