Method WithMaxIterations

Namespace

LMKit.Agents

Assembly

LM-Kit.NET.dll

WithMaxIterations(int)

Sets the maximum number of iterations allowed during task execution.

public AgentBuilder WithMaxIterations(int maxIterations)

Parameters

maxIterations int

The maximum iteration count. Must be at least 1.

Returns

AgentBuilder

This builder instance for method chaining.

Examples

Configuring iteration limits for different use cases:

using LMKit.Model;
using LMKit.Agents;

using var model = new LM("path/to/model.gguf");

// Simple Q&A agent with few iterations
var qaAgent = new AgentBuilder()
    .WithModel(model)
    .WithPersona("FAQ Bot")
    .WithMaxIterations(3)
    .Build();

// Complex research agent with many iterations
var researchAgent = new AgentBuilder()
    .WithModel(model)
    .WithPersona("Research Assistant")
    .WithPlanning(PlanningStrategy.PlanAndExecute)
    .WithMaxIterations(25)
    .Build();

Remarks

Iterations count tool-call and reasoning cycles. Increase for complex tasks that need many tool calls; decrease for simple tasks or to reduce latency. The default is 10.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Thrown when maxIterations is less than 1.
