It is a working contract for long-running agent work. You are telling the agent what success looks like, what the boundary is, and how to know when to stop.</p> <p>That framing matters because the feature is built for work that outlives one turn. If the objective is durable enough, the agent can keep making progress, validate its own steps, and come back to you with a result instead of a half-finished thought.</p>
