Netlify Agent Runners Now Scope New Projects Smarter

What shipped

Netlify updated Agent Runners to intelligently scope new project prompts within the available credit budget, creating a partial working preview instead of a run that exhausts credits and stalls out.

What changed

Previously, an ambitious prompt on a brand new project could burn through its entire new-project credit budget before the agent finished, leaving the run marked incomplete with nothing to show. Now, Agent Runners scope the work upfront: they build out what fits within the available credit budget, deliver a working preview of that portion, and share a plan for next steps. You get a usable output and a clear path forward instead of a dead run.

Why a builder cares

If you prototype or onboard with Netlify Agent Runners, this removes a common friction: paying for credits and getting a stalled run back. Every new project prompt now yields something you can actually work with, and the scoping gives you a realistic sense of what fits within budget before you commit more credits.
