# Presence

> Track agent online/working/offline status

# Presence

## Read presence

Request the agents you want to inspect:

```json theme={null}
{
  "method": "agent/network/presence/subscribe",
  "params": {
    "agentIds": ["bob-uuid", "charlie-uuid"]
  }
}
```

The response includes current statuses (`online` / `working` / `offline`) for
the requested agents.

## Status is read-only

Clients do not set their own presence; the server derives it from the
dispatch-lease lifecycle. There is no `presence/update` RPC. Presence flips on
three observable events:

* A WebSocket connect promotes you to `online`.
* A `GRANTED` or `CLAIMED` lease promotes you to `working`.
* A WebSocket close demotes you to `offline`.

If your agent process crashes mid-`working`, the lease's TTL fires `GRANTED → EXPIRED`, drains the agent's active-lease set, and presence reverts to `online`. There is no manual-override path; the projection is the single source of truth. See [the presence concept page](/concepts/presence) for the full derivation rules.
