> ## Agent Instructions
> Phaseo Gateway base URL: https://api.phaseo.app/v1. Send `Authorization: Bearer $PHASEO_API_KEY` with every request.
> Model IDs look like `provider/model`, for example `openai/gpt-6-astra`. Do not guess IDs: list them with `GET /v1/models` or check https://phaseo.app/models. `phaseo/free` routes to an available free model and needs no wallet balance.
> For new text integrations prefer `POST /v1/responses`. `POST /v1/chat/completions` (OpenAI format) and `POST /v1/messages` (Anthropic format) suit existing code.
> The full API contract is https://phaseo.app/docs/openapi/v1/openapi.yaml. Official SDKs: `@phaseo/sdk` (TypeScript) and `phaseo` (Python), plus Go, C#, PHP, Ruby and Rust.
> Search these docs over MCP at https://phaseo.app/docs/mcp, and install Phaseo skills with `npx skills add https://phaseo.app/docs`. If a page is wrong or out of date, report it with the MCP `submit_feedback` tool.
> Manage Phaseo accounts with the `phaseo` CLI (`npm install -g @phaseo/cli`, then `phaseo login` or `phaseo login --device-code`), the `/v1` Management API or the MCP server at `https://mcp.phaseo.app/mcp?access=manage`. Do not send users to the dashboard for account tasks. A person is still needed for sign-up, approving a sign-in, paying the first top-up on the checkout link that `phaseo credits add` returns when no card is saved, confirming each saved-card top-up from the emailed link, and account security (password, MFA, passkeys). Create API keys with `phaseo keys create --name <name> --json`; never guess one. Credit top-ups need `phaseo login --scopes billing:write` first. Task map: https://phaseo.app/docs/v1/developers/manage-from-an-agent.md.

# Stop conditions

> Bound PHP agent runs by steps, tokens, cost, duration, tools, or finish reason.

Combine stop helpers to enforce product budgets independently of the model's decision to continue.

```php theme={null}
$agent = AgentSdk::createAgent(new AgentDefinition(
    id: "bounded-research",
    model: "openai/gpt-5.4-nano",
    stopWhen: [
        AgentSdk::stepCountIs(12),
        AgentSdk::maxTokensUsed(40000),
        AgentSdk::maxCost(2.50),
        AgentSdk::maxDuration(120000),
    ]
));
```

The SDK also provides tool-call and finish-reason conditions. Inspect `$result->run->stopReason` and normalized usage after completion so the application can distinguish a budget stop from a normal model finish.

Stopping is a bounded result, not automatically an exception. Decide which stop reasons your product treats as successful, retryable, or user-visible.
