Long job
A long job is an AI agent run that works through many files or steps in one session. It runs with a bigger budget than a normal turn, and limits cap it.
What long job is
A long job is a single agent task that runs for many model calls and a long time. The agent reads files in a working folder and makes changes.
The run is bounded by a budget of model calls, time, and turns, so it does not run without end.
Why it matters
- A large task, such as reviewing many documents, needs more steps than one reply allows.
- Longer runs cost more model usage, so limits and budgets matter.
- The agent needs a clear folder and clear limits to avoid unbounded work.
How it works in Harny
- One agent works through many files in a folder for up to 3,600 seconds per turn, on the business's own model key.
- It is off by default. Set it with LongTaskConfig in the SDK. Defaults are 100 model calls and 3,600 seconds per turn.
Is a long job on by default?
No. Long jobs are off by default. You turn them on with LongTaskConfig in the SDK.
