[BUG] max_execution_time is a fake parameter

[gumgum-ag]

Description

The parameter is defined but is referenced nowhere in the codebase. I have set my max_exeuction_time to 1 second, but my application hangs indefinitely.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an agent with a low max_execution_time (1).
2. Kickoff a crew.
3. Observe that the application may hang.

Expected behavior

Some kind of timeout or exception when an agent that respects max_execution_time runs over its time limit.

Not sure what you mean by a "fake parameter"??

I second this. It is part of agent's def but I couldn't find the usage of this parameter at all. Is this reserved for future?

this parameter doesn't seem to make any impact. When will you implement this feature?
