VS Code AI extensions output cap setup
VS Code AI extensions workflows can grow expensive when requests loop or context gets large. Output caps keep long responses and agent loops from eating the budget. NexRelay keeps the first test small and reversible.

- Start with a small budget
- Keep the model list narrow
- Review the first log entry
What to verify
Check that the request stops within the configured output boundary.
