The run log
Every check an agent makes is written down with its decision, what it looked at and where each finding came from.

The run log is the agent's record. There is one line per agent per market day, and each line ends in one of three decisions.
| Decision | Shown as | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| notify | Told you | The rule was met. The run lists what was found. |
| nothing | Nothing to do | The rule was checked and was not met. |
| could_not_check | Could not check | We did not have the data to check the rule that day. |
What a run records
- The day it evaluated and the time it ran.
- A summary: one sentence you can read on its own.
- Findings, when there are any. Each has a headline, a detail line, the source, a link when there is one, and the date the fact is from.
- What it checked: the names and the sources it looked at. This is filled in for every decision, so a quiet day still shows its work.
- The newest closing price date it read, for price rules, so you can tell whether it was working from today's close or an older one.
- Nov 5, Told you: NVDA closed at $148.20, above your level of $145.
- Nov 6, Nothing to do: NVDA closed at $147.10. It was already above $145 at the previous close.
- Nov 7, Could not check: no closing price for NVDA on Nov 7 yet.
Where results show up
- In the agent's own log on Agents.
- In the Briefing, as an item, when the decision was Told you.
- In your Inbox, and by email: what your agents told you is bundled into one email, a few times a day at most. The Alerts switch in Account turns those emails off.
Pausing and removing
A paused agent keeps its log and stops being checked. Removing an agent archives it. Past runs stay in the log so the record is not rewritten.

- Why "did nothing" is a resultAn agent that only speaks when something happens cannot be told apart from one that is broken. So every check is recorded, and not knowing is kept separate from nothing happening.
- Agents and their triggersAn agent is a standing job: one rule, checked for you on a schedule, an event or a price. The ten templates and exactly when each one reports.
- How to read a briefingThe briefing is ordered by what needs you. Each item gives the number, the reason if we have one, a next step and the source.
