What happened and what to do

In a post published on December 27, 2025, Anthropic describes using a stop hook to ask an agent to continue when it stops running. The post presents this technique as a way to orchestrate longer tasks with agents.

A company could apply the concept with controls that detect a stop, check for pending work, and decide whether execution should continue or end. Implementation could include retry limits, logs for each step, and failure alerts, while preserving traceability and human oversight.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can assess agent workflows and their risks, define continuation criteria, and implement the required orchestration, logging, and monitoring, along with a suitable operating plan.
