conversation? |
string |
The conversation ID, for an agent that runs one process per conversation. |

The node the agent runs on. |
memory_bytes |
number |
The memory used by the agent's processes, in bytes. |
binary_bytes? |
number |
The size of the shared binaries the agent's processes reference, in bytes. Large message and tool results are usually stored this way. |
processes |
number |
The number of processes: the agent, plus one for a running turn and one for each running tool call. |
message_queue |
number |
The number of messages waiting in the agent process's mailbox. A number that keeps growing means the agent can't keep up. |
reductions |
number |
The work the agent's processes have done, in BEAM reductions. Compare it between agents, or between two reads, to see which agents use the most CPU. |
