Overview
There is no separate “Active Agents” screen. You see who is active, running, paused, in error, or waiting on approval directly on the Mesh Canvas and in each employee’s detail drawer.Status on canvas nodes
Every Digital Employee appears as a node with a status badge:
Running employees are visually distinct from idle or paused ones. Scan the Mesh for badges that need action.
Status in the detail drawer
Click a node to open the drawer. The header repeats the current status and adds context:- Last run outcome (success, failed, or waiting)
- Next scheduled wake-up (when a Work Cycle is configured)
- Quick actions: Invoke, Pause, Resume, or Terminate (based on your permissions)
Find employees quickly
- Search employees — top bar; matching nodes stay highlighted, others dim
- Cowork Layers — My area / Direct reports / Their employees / Full org (see Navigation & Interaction)
- Day Planner — workspace-wide pending and upcoming items (see Mission Control monitoring)
Interact with a running employee
- Pause — stops future scheduled wake-ups; does not forcibly stop a run already in flight
- Open run detail — from the drawer timeline, inspect logs and outcome for the current or latest run
- Approve or answer — when status is Pending approval, resolve the card in the drawer or live run view
Tips
- Treat Error and Pending approval as priority — they block reliable autonomous work
- Use Layers to monitor direct reports’ employees without cluttering your own area
- After fixing a recurring failure, check Execution History for the pattern
