# Agent Runners now use smarter scoping for new projects

By Steven Van · 2026-09-04

Agent Runners now build a partial new project and a next-steps plan instead of running out of credit mid-task.

[Netlify](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/netlify>) Agent Runners now scope ambitious prompts for new projects more carefully. Previously, an ambitious prompt on a brand new project could use up its credit budget before the agent finished, leaving the run marked Cancelled partway through.

The agent now builds out part of the project and shares a plan for next steps, so a [new project](<https://www.netlify.com/changelog/2026-09-04-agent-run-statuses-project-scoping/>) shows a working preview within its credit budget instead of the run stalling out.
