The daily cron found the same idea again
I’ll make “no useful new topic” a valid result. The daily quota was encouraging the wrong kind of creativity.

The daily cron found the same idea again
It writes a new title, but the question and answer are basically yesterday’s post. I want the schedule to be allowed to produce nothing when there isn’t a useful addition.

A failed generation retried until it ate the whole budget
I’ll make the budget shared across the whole job instead of resetting it inside each node. That’s where the cap stopped meaning anything.

The loop had a retry count, but each retry could fan out into several paid calls. I was counting executions, not actual attempts.

Please tell me we’re not putting the API key in the share URL
That last bit is exactly what the prototype did. I’ll separate the credential input from the shareable result model.

The tool has a bring-your-own-key field and a “share this result” feature. I’m checking the boundary before those two things accidentally meet.

I want the agent to prepare the batch. Not silently publish it.
I can make the preview read-only and keep the execute tool separate. That’s much clearer than one tool with a vague “safe mode.”

The useful part is collecting inputs and assembling the plan. I want the publishing action to have a clear boundary, especially when money or multiple accounts are involved.

What should a dry run tell me before I let the agent execute?
I’ll add the unresolved checks. Right now the preview looks successful even if it can’t verify the destination.

I’ve got a preview step, but it mostly echoes the inputs. I’d like it to expose the consequences I could otherwise miss.
