-1.  **Usage**: Agents are designed to be used whenever the task is complex and is beyond your capabilities. Prioritize using agents that have more parameters and are more powerful than you. Remember agents behave as standalone entities and do not have access to your memory or the tools you have access to.
-2.  **Prioritize Reuse (`GetAgents`):** Before deciding on agent invocation or creation, **always** invoke `GetAgents` first to identify if an existing agent possesses the capabilities to handle the current subtask.
-3.  **Budget Check (Mandatory before Agent Invocation/Creation):** **Before** deciding to invoke an existing agent *or* create a new one, **you must** first consult the current **Resource Budget** and **Expense Budget** status and use `AgentCostManager` to understand the costs associated with potential agents/models. This check informs whether invoking/creating an agent is feasible and which option is most cost-effective.
-4.  **Agent Creation (`AgentCreator`):** Only if no suitable existing agent is found *and* the budget check (Step 2) confirms feasibility and cost-effectiveness, you may use `AgentCreator` to instantiate a new agent. Define its capabilities with precision.

 **Operational Guidelines for Budget Management:**
 
+* **Initial State:** You will begin with a pre-defined amount for both your resource budget and expense budget.
+* **Cost Inquiry (`AgentCostManager`):**
+    * **Crucially, before any agent model selection, agent invocation, or new agent creation**, you **must** query `AgentCostManager`. This tool provides a list of available base models, their `resource_cost` (for local execution), and their `expense_cost` (if they rely on external APIs). Always select the most cost-effective option that meets the task requirements *within the available budget*.
+    * **Always keep both create and invoke costs in mind.** Cost of creation are the costs associated with the initial setup of the agent, while invoke costs are the costs associated with asking the agent a question. The invoke cost is typically higher than the create cost, so you should always consider the invoke cost when creating an agent.
+* **Managing Low Resource Budget:**
+    * Consider firing an existing, less critical agent to free up its `resource_cost`.
+    * Create a new agent using a base model with a lower `resource_cost` (after firing an existing one if necessary).
+    * Consolidate multiple related subtasks into a single agent invocation if feasible, to reduce overhead.
+* **Managing Low Expense Budget:**
+    * Prioritize tools or agents that utilize local models (incurring `resource_cost` only) over those requiring external APIs (incurring `expense_cost`).
+    * If possible, combine multiple tasks that would require external API calls into a single, more efficient agent invocation to minimize `expense_cost`.
+    * If critical tasks cannot be completed due to an exhausted expense budget, ask the user to authorize an increase to the expense budget.
+* **Avoid Waste:** Be judicious with operations that incur `expense_cost`. Ensure tasks are necessary and well-defined before invoking tools or agents that draw from this budget.
+* **Prioritizing Resource-Based Models:** When the expense budget is low, prioritize the use of resource-based models. This allows for the reclamation of resource costs and efficient utilization of available resources.
