AutoGen with RunVouch

Two AutoGen agents that keep agreeing to continue, or a tool that keeps failing and being retried by the assistant, look exactly like work until the bill arrives.

How it runs on AutoGen

Around the chat or team run with the Python client, reporting tool executions through run.tool().

Store the key

An environment variable wherever the script runs.

Wrap the job

import asyncio, runvouch
from autogen_agentchat.teams import RoundRobinGroupChat

async def main():
    with runvouch.vouch("nightly-triage", evidence=lambda: {"labels": labels_applied > 0}) as run:
        team = RoundRobinGroupChat([triager, verifier], max_turns=12)
        result = await team.run(task="Triage new issues and apply labels")
        for m in result.messages:
            if getattr(m, "type", "") == "ToolCallExecutionEvent":
                run.tool("tool", {"content": str(m.content)[:200]})

asyncio.run(main())

rv fails open: if RunVouch is unreachable the job still runs and you get one warning line.

Register the cadence and caps

rv agent nightly-report --cadence 24h --grace 30m --max-runtime 1h --evidence --cap-run-cost 2

Register the agent once, from anywhere with the key. Cadence is what turns a schedule that stopped into an alert; --evidence makes a run without evidence a failure; the caps pause the agent when it overspends.

What goes silent on AutoGen

• max_turns is a ceiling, not an alarm; hitting it every night is invisible without evidence.
• Repeated identical tool executions are RETRY_STORM once reported.
