Prompt

For agent [PURPOSE] on [PLATFORM], propose a run budget: maximum tool calls, elapsed time, model calls if applicable, external requests and currency spend. Distinguish fixed platform subscription from metered API charges. Define stop alerts, retry limits, a cheaper deterministic alternative for simple steps and a record of actual usage. If pricing is unknown, ask for current billing details; do not invent a cost estimate.
