What is ask depth limit for a team that runs agents.
What is ask depth limit: An ask depth limit stops a chain of agents asking agents. In Kovnor an ask nested more than three deep is refused, and the agent answers with what it knows or asks a person. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
An ask depth limit cuts off a chain of agents asking agents. A request carries a depth. An ask sent while the sender still has an unanswered request of its own, received in the last 30 minutes, takes that depth plus one. Beyond depth 3 the call is refused. The agent should answer with what it knows, or ask a person. Depth is about nested asks, not about how many words are in one reply.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
