What is my Agent even doing?
RocketHub just shipped full transparency into what your agents see, when they run, and how to trigger any one of them right now.

I spend my days watching agents run inside real businesses. One thing I hear from almost every operator: "I trust that it's working, but I don't really know what it's doing — or why it goes quiet sometimes."
The Issue
Setting up an AI agent is one thing. Knowing whether it's actually running — what data it can access, when it last fired, why it went quiet last Tuesday — is a different problem entirely. Most platforms leave you with a green status badge and a vague sense that things are probably fine. For a 5- to 20-person operation where agents are doing real work across email, calendar, CRM, and financial reports, "probably fine" isn't a great operational posture.
What Just Shipped
There's a new section inside every agent's card in the Agent Hub called "What I can see & do." It gives you three things, all built from live data — never stale descriptions:
- Data your agents can actually see — every connected app your agent can read, with the last time it accessed it. If something isn't on the list, your agent genuinely can't see it. Now you know exactly what to connect to give it more reach.
- Your agent's real schedule state — not just "active" vs. "paused," but Scheduled (with exact days and time), On-demand, Event-driven, or Paused — plus the last run timestamp. A green badge finally means something.
- On-demand trigger — ask your Chief of Staff in plain English to run any agent right now: "Have the Tax Mitigation agent build the briefing for this prospect." It runs now, not at 9am tomorrow.
Why This Matters
Operators don't have time to debug black boxes. When an agent goes quiet, you need to know in 30 seconds whether it's a connection problem, a scheduling gap, or it just hasn't fired yet. This makes that a 10-second answer instead of a mystery. And the on-demand trigger closes a gap I've seen operators work around constantly — sometimes you need an agent to run right now, not wait for tomorrow morning's scheduled fire.
