# Stop an Exa research run early

Exa agent run: stop early and keep results. Needs id.

Exa agent run: stop early and keep results, by Exa. Complete a running Agent run early, returning the results gathered so far. Exa supports stop only for runs created with effort "ultra"; for other runs Exa answers 400, so use exa/agent-run-cancel instead. A run that already ended is returned unchanged. Free.

## Published example

No example input is published for this tool. Ask for the inputs required by its schema.

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
