Max Turns

Domain: Hermes Fundamentals

Motivation

The agent loop has a safety limit called max turns, defaulting to 90. This stops Hermes from running forever if it gets stuck. You can raise or lower the limit.

Concrete Example

Hermes is on turn 85 of a complex research task. It knows it has 5 turns left and starts wrapping up its answer.

Analogy

Like a chess clock. When time is almost up, you play faster and finish your move.
