# Agent management

> Centralized administration for managing agents, filters, and limits across your workspace

The Agent Management page gives workspace and team administrators a centralized view of the agents they can manage. You can search, filter, sort, and update agents in bulk, including status, team assignment, model, tags, owners, and daily limits.

## Access levels

* **Workspace administrators** can manage all agents in the workspace.
* **[Team](/features/teams) administrators** (when teams are enabled) can manage agents in their teams.

## Agents tab

The Agents tab is a flat, searchable table with sorting, filtering, and bulk actions.

| Column                  | Description                                                                                                        |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Agent**               | Name, avatar, privacy icon, and compact badges for team and tags                                                   |
| **Usage (today)**       | Credits used today, with limit context                                                                             |
| **Last activity**       | Latest entry in the agent activity log                                                                             |
| **Last updated**        | Most recent configuration change date                                                                              |
| **Credit details**      | Whether credit details are shown in logs/chat sidebar                                                              |
| **Value & criticality** | Category badges and criticality level when value capture is enabled; warning icon when required fields are missing |

Click a row to expand details for:

* Tags
* Enabled capabilities (including whether a capability is disabled by admin policy)
* API capabilities
* MCP servers
* Agent owners

### Search, filters, and sorting

You can search by agent name and open a filter panel to narrow by status, privacy, teams, tags, model, owner, capabilities, API capabilities, MCP servers, usage range, and date ranges for last activity and last updated.

When filters are active, a **Reset** button appears next to the filter panel button, letting you clear all filters in one click.

Column headers support sorting for key fields like usage and activity dates, and active filters are counted in the filter button.

### Bulk actions

Select one or more agents with the checkboxes to run bulk actions:

* Trigger (run each selected agent once with a message you provide)
* Notify owners (send a notice to the people responsible for each selected agent)
* Enable
* Disable
* Move to team (if you have move permissions)
* Set daily limit
* Set model
* Turn credit details on or off

Triggered runs are queued and start as capacity allows. Disabled agents are skipped.

**Notify owners** reaches the people responsible for a set of agents — for example to announce a policy change or ask them to review something. Each owner gets notified, and the notice is listed under [Owner notices](/features/monitoring#owner-notices) on each agent, clearly marked as coming from you rather than from the agent. Agents with no owner notify their team or workspace admins instead.

### Per-agent quick actions

Each agent row includes an actions menu where you can:

* Enable or disable the agent
* Add owner
* Edit tags
* Move to team
* Open agent settings
* Show or hide credit details

<Tip>
  You can only remove an owner if at least one other owner remains on that agent.
</Tip>

## Agent limits tab

The Agent limits tab lets you manage daily credit limits directly from Agent Management:

* Set or edit a workspace default daily limit
* Add or change custom per-agent limits
* Remove a custom limit (fall back to the default)
* Reset an agent's daily usage counter

For details on how limits behave when reached, see [Usage & Limits](/features/usage#agent-limits).

## Delegating administration to an agent

Everything on this page can also be done by an agent. Give an admin-only agent the **Workspace Manager** capability and it can enable and pause other agents, move them between teams (when teams are enabled), set daily limits, model, criticality and credit details, edit value entries, and manage tags on agents, teams and members — on behalf of the admins it works for.

Pair it with **Workspace Explorer** so the agent can find its targets first. Workspace Explorer supplies the reading and listing; Workspace Manager supplies the changes.

* "Pause every agent that hasn't run in 60 days and tell me which ones you paused."
* "Move all agents tagged `support` into the Support team, but show me who gains and loses access before you do it."
* "Set a 20 credit daily limit on every agent without one."

The agent can only change the settings a workspace admin can change without opening an agent. It cannot touch instructions, capabilities, access lists, credentials or names, and it cannot create or delete agents or pause itself. Every change it makes is recorded in the workspace [action history](/features/usage#action-history) under the agent's name.

<Note>
  Workspace Manager reaches agents whose default access is "Nothing" — the agent can pause, move or retag them without being able to read their content.
</Note>

## Capability policies

Capability availability policies are configured outside this page:

* **Capabilities** for workspace-wide defaults plus per-team overrides (when teams are enabled)
* **Workspace management → Model selection** for which LLM models agents may use in this workspace (you can turn families off, for example; models disabled by Abundly for all workspaces stay off)

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What happens when I disable an agent?">
    Disabled agents stop processing triggers, schedules, and incoming work until re-enabled.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I update many agents at once?">
    Yes. Use row selection plus bulk actions to trigger agents with a message, enable/disable them, move teams, or set limits/models for multiple agents in one step.
  </Accordion>
