Manage Agents

Running agents for a team raises two questions: is the fleet healthy, and what is it costing? Every user has a smaller version of the same question about their own usage and spend.

Manage Agents answers both halves of that question. Administrators get the tools that keep the fleet running, the models healthy, and spend visible across the team. Every user, admin or not, also gets My Usage: their own token consumption and spend, visible to no one else.

To investigate a jump in the monthly bill, open Monitor, filter to the last month, and find the application behind most of the increase. Check whether the model it defaults to is still the right choice, and check how many agent services are sitting idle and warm. If the numbers still look off, confirm the tracing backend itself is healthy.

Admin Pages

The following cover the day-to-day work of running C3 AI Agentix as a shared service:

  • Administer C3 AI Agentix: start here for a map of the Admin tabs, and to keep the application itself on a current version.
  • Manage Agent Services: see every running agent service across all users, and stop, resume, or terminate one. Size the warm pool that keeps new chats starting fast, and toggle deployment-wide analytics collection or the nightly skill-learning loop.
  • Manage the Model Catalog: decide which models are available and check their health. Set the defaults new chats start with, the judge model new agent pods use, and the write-access baseline every agent inherits.
  • Monitor Usage and Cost: the team-wide view of tokens, spend, and latency broken down by agent or by running instance, with a path down to the trace behind any number. The same page also reports whether the tracing backend itself is healthy.
  • Embed Chat: prepare the cluster for C3 AI Agentix chat inside another C3 application, and give the team that owns that application the starter kit or the npm package it needs.

Monitor opens to Agentix.AgentAdmin or higher. The other four pages sit on the Admin page, which requires Agentix.AppAdmin. See Permissions.

Track your own usage

One page is open to everyone, with no administrator role required:

  • My Usage: your own input tokens, output tokens, and spend over the last 30 days, scoped to your account only. No other user's activity ever appears here.

Permissions

Three roles gate access to these pages:

SurfaceWho can reach it
Admin page: Agent Services, Model Catalog, Embed Chat, and UpgradesAgentix.AppAdmin, or a platform administrator
MonitorAgentix.AgentAdmin or higher (Agentix.AppAdmin, or a platform administrator)
