can i disallow interruptions for first two turns and then allow it for the rest of them?

Thanks for reaching out, fmoanes. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Acknowledging your question: you want to disallow interruptions for the first two turns, then allow them afterward.

Yes — you can do that by tracking turn count and setting `allow_interruptions` dynamically. Use a counter in your agent or session state, set `allow_interruptions=False` when the count is 1–2, and switch to `True` thereafter.

If you’d like, I can:
• Provide a short code example in your preferred language (Python/TypeScript), or
• Show how to wire this into session events like `user_turn_completed`.
Which would you prefer?
