# Using Agents

Discover and deploy powerful automation agents created by the K3 Labs community. This guide shows you how to find, configure, and manage agents for your automation needs.

### Finding Agents

#### Browse the Agent Gallery

The Discover page is your gateway to all available agents:

* All Agents: Browse the complete collection of public agents
* My Agents: View agents you've created or deployed
* Favorite Agents: Quick access to agents you've saved
* Search: Find specific agents by name or function
* Categories: Filter agents by use case (Finance, Operations, AI Agents, etc.)

#### Agent Cards Display

Each agent card shows:

* Agent name and type (Official/Community)
* Brief description
* Update timestamp
* Action count (number of steps)
* Creator badge (for official agents)

#### Direct Links

Agents can also be shared directly via links. Click any shared agent link to view and deploy it instantly.

### Understanding Agent Details

When you click on an agent, you'll see a comprehensive preview:

#### Overview Section

* Description: Detailed explanation of what the agent does
* Use Cases: Who should use this agent and why
* Requirements: Any prerequisites or necessary accounts

#### Categories

Tags that help you understand the agent's primary functions (e.g., Finance, Operations, AI Agents)

#### Statistics

* Actions: Number of workflow steps in the agent
* Last Updated: When the agent was last modified
* Usage Count: How many times it's been deployed (when available)

#### Agent Steps Overview

A high-level view of what the agent does:

1. Each step is numbered and shows its function type
2. Descriptions explain what happens at each stage
3. Only visible steps are shown (hidden logic remains private)

### Deploying an Agent

#### Step 1: Click "Use Agent"

When ready to deploy, click the blue "Use agent" button. This opens the configuration interface.

#### Step 2: Configure Required Inputs

You'll only see fields that need your input:

Common Input Types:

* Schedule Settings: Choose frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.)
* Contact Information: Email addresses or Telegram handles for alerts
* Wallet Addresses: Addresses to monitor or interact with
* Thresholds: Price limits, percentages, or other numeric values
* Token Selection: Choose from pre-configured options

Example Configuration:

Scheduled: Every 24 Hours

Email: <your-email@example.com>

#### Step 3: Preview the Workflow (Optional)

Toggle to Workflow View to see the complete automation logic:

* Understand the full process flow
* Verify the steps match your expectations
* Note: This view is read-only

#### Step 4: Deploy

1. Click the "Deploy" button
2. Give your agent instance a memorable name
3. Confirm deployment

Your agent is now active and will run according to your configuration!

### Managing Deployed Agents

#### Access Your Agents

Find all your deployed agents in the Dashboard:

* View running status
* Monitor execution history
* Check for any errors

#### Edit Configuration

Need to change settings? You can update your deployed agents:

1. Navigate to your agent in the Dashboard
2. Click to open the agent
3. Modify any configurable fields
4. Save changes

Changes take effect immediately for future executions.

#### Pause or Stop Agents

Control your agents directly from the Dashboard:

* Pause: Temporarily stop execution while keeping configuration
* Delete: Permanently remove the agent instance

### Tips for Success

#### Before Deploying

* Read the full description to understand the agent's purpose
* Check the steps overview to verify it matches your needs
* Ensure you have necessary accounts (wallets, APIs, etc.)
* Start with conservative settings (lower frequencies, higher thresholds)

#### Common Configurations

Monitoring Agents

* Set reasonable check intervals to balance timeliness and action usage
* Use specific wallet addresses rather than monitoring everything
* Configure alert thresholds to avoid notification overload

Trading Agents

* Start with small amounts to test behavior
* Set appropriate price limits and slippage tolerance
* Ensure your wallet has sufficient funds for gas

Analytics Agents

* Choose report frequencies that match your decision-making cadence
* Select relevant data sources and metrics
* Configure delivery to your preferred communication channel

#### Troubleshooting

Agent Not Running?

* Check if you've completed all required fields
* Verify your wallet has funds for gas (if applicable)
* Ensure external services (email, Telegram) are properly connected

Not Receiving Alerts?

* Confirm email address is correct
* Check spam folders
* Verify Telegram bot connection

Unexpected Behavior?

* Review the workflow view to understand logic
* Check if thresholds or conditions are too restrictive
* Contact the agent creator for complex issues

### Best Practices

#### Start Simple

* Deploy one agent at a time
* Use default settings initially
* Gradually adjust based on results

#### Monitor Performance

* Check execution logs regularly
* Track action usage
* Optimize schedules based on actual needs

#### Security Considerations

* Only enter information you're comfortable sharing
* Verify official agents have the official badge
* Review agent logic before entering sensitive data
* Remember that wallet connections are always secure and isolated
