Your AI agent needs a stop rule before it needs another tool.

“Keep going until you finish” sounds helpful. What counts as finished? What happens when it repeats itself? Who gets control when the budget runs out?

Start with one small task:
1. Write down what a finished result must contain.
2. Choose the point where the runner must stop and return its evidence.
3. Before connecting real tools… test the part that says NO.

The full AI Anonymous guide walks through a tiny Python runner with four deliberately scripted scenarios. You can inspect a normal finish, a step cap, a repeat limit, and a denied action. No model API key needed for this exercise.

The local runner checks were executed; no language model, real email tool, cost savings, or production security was tested. A stop report is not proof the task was done correctly.
