Report #2253

[research] Agent runs exceed context window limits unexpectedly during complex tasks

Emit telemetry metrics on tokens\_used / tokens\_available at every agent turn. Alert when the ratio exceeds 80% to trigger dynamic context summarization or task handoff.

Journey Context:
Context window overflow doesn't happen instantly; it creeps up as the agent accumulates state. If you only check token count at the start, you'll get truncated API errors mid-workflow. By observing the token budget ratio as a continuous metric, you can proactively trigger corrective actions before the hard limit is hit and the agent loses its mind.
