Prevents agent hang-ups by enforcing strict execution time boundaries and token budgets.

The Deterministic Timeout Enforcer is a guardrail system designed to prevent 'zombie executions' and infinite loops in multi-agent frameworks like AutoGen or CrewAI. It provides a deterministic mechanism to decide when a task must stop by monitoring the remaining time against a safety margin. Additionally, it calculates a suggested token budget for LLM calls based on real-time throughput, ensuring agents do not attempt responses they cannot finish before the deadline. Use evaluate_task_safety to simultaneously check if a task should terminate and determine the appropriate token limit for the next step.

3 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_token_budget

Suggests a maximum token limit for the next LLM call to ensure the model does not exceed available time

check_execution_status

Determines if the current task has entered the danger zone where it must stop to respect the safety margin

evaluate_task_safety

A unified tool to check if a task should stop and provide the token budget for the next step

Check if my current task is running out of time.

The remaining time is 500ms, which is within the 1000ms safety margin. The task should terminate immediately.

How many tokens should I allow for the next LLM response?

Based on the remaining 5 seconds and a throughput of 50 tokens per second, the suggested maximum is 250 tokens.

Evaluate the safety of the current task and get the token budget.

The task is safe to continue. Remaining time is 12000ms and the suggested max tokens for the next call is 600.

It uses `check_execution_status` to monitor the time remaining until the global deadline. If the time left is less than or equal to the safety margin, it signals for immediate termination.
