The solution does not meet the goal. Increasing max_tokens only raises the maximum number of tokens the model is allowed to generate. Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI reference defines max_tokens as the maximum number of tokens allowed for the generated answer, and the quota guidance notes that increasing it can help when responses are being truncated.

In this scenario, the problem is not described as output truncation. The required regulatory clauses are already present in the retrieved policy documents, but the agent omits them during summarization. That is a response completeness issue: Microsoft Foundry RAG evaluator guidance defines response completeness as the recall aspect of the response, meaning the response should not miss critical information compared with expected content or ground truth.

A larger token budget might permit a longer answer, but it does not force the model to identify, verify, or include each mandatory clause. It can also increase cost and latency. The appropriate control is a reflection or completeness verification pass that checks the draft against the retrieved policy clauses and regenerates or revises the response when required content is missing.
