Recommended action: Run with return_full_result=True and check result.state == 'max_steps_error' (or inspect agent.memory.steps[-1].error) before trusting the output; raise max_steps or improve tools/prompts if it happens often.
Option: Check RunResult.state [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Automated pipelines using smolagents
Steps:
1. result = agent.run(task, return_full_result=True)
2. if result.state == 'max_steps_error': treat as failure / retry with higher max_steps
3. else use result.output
Expected: Max-step exhaustion detected
