FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor agent inbox messages for pending help requests?

To monitor agent inbox messages, you can poll and summarize the inbox to surface pending messages and unresolved HELP_REQUESTs. This surfaces thread activity and enables proactive coordination across multiple agents.

What is the best way to track completions across multiple coordinating agents?

Tracking completions across coordinating agents is done by highlighting recent completions within the monitored inbox. This provides visibility into task progress, allowing on-call teams to acknowledge updates during each review cycle.

How do I continuously watch an agent mail inbox for new messages?

You can continuously watch an agent mail inbox by running the monitor with a watch flag. This automates continuous polling to surface new pending messages and help requests as they arrive, rather than requiring manual checks.

Can I parse and categorize inbox data from an MCP tool for structured summaries?

Yes, parsing inbox data and categorizing messages to present structured summaries is supported from an MCP tool or HTTP endpoint. This satisfies the requirement for organizing agent mail into clear, actionable categories.

Does agent inbox monitoring require any specific dependencies or components?

Agent inbox monitoring does not require specific dependencies or components to function. It operates independently to parse inbox data and present structured summaries directly from the configured MCP tool or HTTP endpoint.

Why are help requests going unresolved in my multi-agent coordination workflow?

Help requests go unresolved when the agent inbox is not actively monitored. Automating inbox monitoring identifies unresolved HELP_REQUESTs that require responses, ensuring timely action and preventing requests from being missed.
