Is there a way to limit the number of questions a user is allowed to ask my conversation agent?

[filmfrenzy]

I'm just starting out and created a conversation agent with the Agent Builder. Everything is working well so far, but I'm curious if I'm able to put a limit on the number of queries a user asks. I have two reasons for this:

1. Limiting cost

2. Use it as a "trial" version to show users what the chatbot can do.

Hi @filmfrenzy,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Here are some approaches you can consider to address your issue:

1. Quotas in Vertex AI Agent Builder:

• Google Cloud does enforce quotas on Vertex AI Agent Builder API requests. This means there are limits on how many API calls your agent can make within a given time period.

2. Application-Level Limitations (Implementing Question Limits):

• To limit the number of questions a user can ask, you'll likely need to implement custom logic within your agent. This would involve:
  • Session Management: Tracking the user's conversation state.
  • Counters: Storing a count of the user's questions.
  • Conditional Logic: Checking the counter and providing a "limit reached" response.
