# Agents

Agents in Hashman are responsible for scanning the local network constantly for miners and performing the actions based on the mining profiles.

### Agents overview

* **Agent list**: All of your agents in a table list view
* **Status**: View current status of each agent, if the agent is scanning and functioning properly or if there is an error
* **Miners found**: How many miners the agent has found from the local network
* **Mode**: Read-only or normal - in read only mode agent will only query the miners and all mining profile-based automation is ignored. However, commands can be sent to an individual miner or multiple miners.

### Agents - Creating an agent

1. Navigate to the "Agents" view
2. Click "Create new agent"
3. Set the agent's parameters:
   * Name and alias (alias can be used in pool usernames)
   * Enable or disable read-only mode - in read only mode agent will only query the information of miners and all automation is ignored
   * Set the network scanning parameters

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hashman.gitbook.io/hashman-docs/features/agents.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
