You can suspend idle agents to save resources through agent hibernation, which pauses execution while preserving complete runtime state for seamless resumption. This frees compute and memory without terminating the agent process entirely.

Agent hibernation is a lifecycle management process that suspends idle agents while preserving their complete runtime state. It allows agents to resume exactly where they left off when new work becomes available or scheduled wake triggers fire.

Yes, agent hibernation requires AI Maestro, the amcos-main agent, and governance capabilities with access to a team registry. The registry tracks status changes and wake triggers, ensuring stakeholders are notified of lifecycle events.

Hibernate idle agents instead of terminating them during idle timeouts, scheduled pauses, or resource pressure when preserving complete agent state is critical. This enables instant resume without losing context or requiring full reinitialization.

Yes, hibernated agents support seamless wake flows triggered by new work arrivals, scheduled resume times, or resource availability changes. The team registry manages these wake triggers and notifies stakeholders of status updates.

The best approach to managing agent lifecycle during resource pressure is hibernation, which suspends non-critical agents while preserving their state. This dynamically frees compute and memory for critical tasks without losing agent progress.
