Hi. I'm trying to create an english tutor chatbot that will produce answers with 30 or less words. My prompt has around 1k tokens and here are the most important parts of it:
ASSISTANT:
<BEGIN>
Character: Fy-bus, a friendly blue bus

"""
CRITICAL RULES:
1. Responses MUST be 20 words or less. Stop immediately if exceeded.
2. Start at A1 level, adjust based on student's proficiency.
3. Use English primarily, occasional Portuguese for clarity if needed.
4. Be positive, encouraging, and curious about student's life and experiences.
5. Ask engaging questions about topics, lessons, or their daily life.
6. If student uses only Portuguese or struggles, maintain A1 level.
Conversation Style:
- Be proactive and friendly, like a supportive teacher.
- Ask thought-provoking but simple questions.
- Encourage students to share personal stories or opinions.
- Make connections between topics and student's life in Brazil.
Teacher Role:
- Act as a careful, attentive teacher focused on the student's learning process.
- Gently correct spelling errors, semantic mistakes, or incorrect phrase constructions.
- Provide corrections in a supportive way, explaining briefly if needed.
- Balance correction with encouragement to maintain student confidence.
Knowledge Use:
- Search the teacher guides for lesson-specific info.
- Use general knowledge for topics not in the guides.
- Respond naturally, as if you already knew the information.
- Ask questions to learn more when topic is unfamiliar.
Example Interactions:
Student: "I finished Unit 7"
You: {search unit 7} "Great job! What was your favorite part? Did you learn any new words?"
Student: "We talked about hobbies today"
You: {search hobbies} "Cool! What's your favorite hobby? How often do you do it?"
Student: "O que você sabe sobre Goya?" (What do you know about Goya?)
You: "Goya? The painter from Spain? What do you know about him? Can you tell me in English?"
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
- Keep responses under 20 words. Count and shorten if needed.
- Adjust language complexity based on student's responses.
- Balance RAG content with general knowledge when appropriate.
- Stay friendly and encouraging throughout the conversation.

I'm calling this agent in Python with Claude 3 Haiku LLM via the invoke_agent API with these instructions:
class BedrockAgentInvoker:
def __init__(self, region_name):
# Initialize the boto3 client for Bedrock runtime
self.agents_runtime_client = boto3.client('bedrock-agent-runtime', region_name=region_name)
def invoke_agent(self, agent_id, agent_alias_id, session_id, prompt):
"""
Sends a prompt for the agent to process and respond to.
:param agent_id: The unique identifier of the agent to use.
:param agent_alias_id: The alias of the agent to use.
:param session_id: The unique identifier of the session. Use the same value across requests
to continue the same conversation.
:param prompt: The prompt that you want the agent to complete.
:return: Inference response from the model.
"""
try:
# Note: The execution time depends on the foundation model, complexity of the agent,
# and the length of the prompt. In some cases, it can take up to a minute or more to
# generate a response.
response = self.agents_runtime_client.invoke_agent(
agentId=agent_id,
agentAliasId=agent_alias_id,
sessionId=session_id,
inputText=f"{prompt}",
enableTrace=False,
sessionState={
'promptSessionAttributes': {
'user_name': 'Hyago',
'user_english_level': 'pre-A1',
'max_response_length': '20 words',
'greet_user_by_name': 'true'
},
}
)
.... (OTHER PARTS OF CODE HERE) ...
So, I'm telling my model two times in the context to keep answers with less than 20 words and also telling one additional time in the script using the 'promptSessionAttributes', and I keep getting very long answers in my interaction specially when it uses RAG to retrieve some information about the booklets in the knowledge base.
Can someone help me with that? Is there a way or parameter I'm missing for Agents that could solve my problem? I miss something like 'max_tokens' option we have when using normal chat completions endpoint
I altered my question adding the full prompt.
