# Agent API

Agent Tooling

# Edge Agent API

Let AI agents deploy, manage, and monitor your infrastructure. Built for how LLMs think.

## How It Works

# User gives their agent an access code and the URL

User → "Here's my Edge agent code, deploy this app"

Agent → Discovers capabilities, deploys, reports back

User → "How's it doing?"

Agent → Checks metrics, reports status, suggests optimisations

### Discovery-First

The agent learns what it can do, what limits exist, and what's already deployed — before taking any action.

### Budget-Aware

Every response includes cost context. Set soft or hard budget caps so the agent operates within your limits.

### tell_user Field

Every response includes a human-readable summary the agent can relay directly to you. No interpretation needed.

## Quick Start

- Go to [Account → Agent Access](https://edge.network/account/agent-access) and create an agent access code
- Give your AI agent the code and the URL: `https://edge.network/agent`
- The agent calls the discovery endpoint to learn what it can do
- The agent deploys, manages, and monitors your infrastructure

## Designed for Agents

Unlike standard cloud APIs designed for humans or scripts, the Edge Agent API is built from the ground up for how LLMs work:

Dry Run Everything

Preview any action before committing with the `X-Dry-Run: true` header.

Project-Based

Group resources by purpose (VM + CDN + DNS = one project). Health check, scale, or teardown everything at once.

Errors as Guidance

Error responses include actionable suggestions and a `tell_user` field explaining what the user should do.

Idempotent

All mutating endpoints support idempotency keys for safe retries.

## Available Products
