Manage agents

An agent is a good fit for software that reads context, selects tools, or decides its next step dynamically, such as a coding assistant, operations assistant, or autonomous task runner.

In Sudomimus, an agent is not another user account. It belongs to your account but has its own name, credentials, and sign-in history. Applications can use that distinction to tell you and your agent apart.

Create an agent

In with.sudomimus.com:

1. Open Programmatic access → Agents.
2. Select Create.
3. Enter a name and description. A useful name identifies both the job and where it runs.
4. Save the agent.

The agent still needs an access key or public key before it can sign in. The target application must also accept agent sign-in with that credential type.

Suspend, resume, or revoke

• Suspend an agent during maintenance, investigation, or a temporary shutdown. It cannot establish or refresh access while suspended.
• Resume it when it is ready to run again. Sessions from before the suspension do not come back automatically.
• Revoke it when the identity is no longer needed. Revocation cannot be undone.

If the agent should stop using only one application, revoke the credentials that cover that application instead of shutting down the whole agent.

Good operating habits

• Use a separate agent for each clear responsibility.
• Use separate agents and credentials for development, test, and production.
• The agent still acts on behalf of your account. Limit its profile data and application access to what the job needs.
• Review Session security regularly to see where the agent has signed in.

Use an automation instead when the job follows a fixed workflow and trigger.
