agent.iteration_limit

What happened

The assistant reached the maximum number of steps without a clear answer. Please rephrase the request or split it into smaller steps.

Technical background

Not an error. The run ends with a clarify turn (payload.reason) once MAX_AGENT_ROUNDS is reached without a final answer — usually a tool that keeps returning the same error, or a task that needs more steps than the limit allows.

Narrow the task, or fix the tool call that keeps repeating. The conversation’s turn history shows which one it was.
