# Osysharp.Agents.Inspector — one piece of an agent's work, readable by a person who was not there

> `Osysharp.Agents.Inspector` draws one page for one piece of work: who asked and for whom, as which account it ran, what it was given and handed back, every step in order, each proposal and who decided, each question and its answer, the work it handed on, what it spent, and whether its record still checks.

## Summary        {#summary}
`Osysharp.Agents.Inspector` draws one page for one piece of work: who asked and for whom, as which account it ran, what it was given and handed back, every step in order, each proposal and who decided, each question and its answer, the work it handed on, what it spent, and whether its record still checks.

It changes nothing and widens nothing: everything is read as whoever is looking. The person the work was for reads it with what it said; a supervisor reads that each step happened; a piece of work that is not the reader's says so and shows nothing.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Package | `Osysharp.Agents.Inspector`, version 1.2.0 |
| You add it with | `use Osysharp.Agents.Inspector;` in the app's manifest. |
| It sits on | [[agent-kit-agents\|Agents]], [[agent-kit-llm\|Llm]] |
| It also uses | `Identity`, `Ui` — parts of the platform's own library |
| Its own test app | A small weather station whose daily bulletin is drafted by an agent — `kits/agents-inspector/tests` |

## Description    {#description}

### What do you get without writing anything?   {#free}
- One line on a page of yours — `WorkInspector(task)` — is the whole page.
- Each step has a link, so a person can be sent to one step.
- What was erased is shown as erased, and the record still checks.
- Other kits add their own sections: "Correct this", the process run the work is a step of, the controls of whoever is in charge.

### When do you need it?   {#when}
As soon as somebody other than the developer has to understand what an agent did. [Shape 3](https://osysharp.com/reference/agent/guide-process/) opens it from a run's page.

### What does it expose?   {#exposes}
The tables below are generated from the kit itself, not written by hand: `osy kits Osysharp.Agents.Inspector --surface` lists each of
them with the code of the kit's own test app that uses it, and the tests that show it working.

**Settings** — one line in the app, each field with a default.

| You write | It says |
|---|---|
| `app.AgentInspector = new AgentInspectorSetup { WorkPage }` | How this app shows its agents' work. |

**Functions you call**, those its own tests show most first.

| Function | What it does | Tests that show it |
|---|---|---|
| `RecordInWords(TraceCheck check)` | What the inspector says of a record's check: that every line is as it was written — or that it does not check, and where. | 7 |
| `InspectAgentWork(Guid task)` | One piece of work, for somebody who was not there — everything its receipt, its record and the rows beside them say, in words. | 6 |

**Screens and components you mount** — each is one line in a page of yours.

| Component | What it draws |
|---|---|
| `Fact(caption, value, mono)` | A fact with its caption above it. |
| `Quoted(text, name)` | Words that were said — a brief, a result, an answer — set apart from what the page says about them. |
| `InspectedStepLine(step, marked, showWho)` | One step of the record. |
| `InspectedProposalCard(p)` | One proposal, and what a person decided. |
| `InspectedHelpCard(h)` | One request for help, and what came of it. |
| `WorkInspector(task, step, embedded)` | The inspector: one piece of an agent's work, readable by a person who was not there. |

**Slots you can fill** — a place on the kit's screens where your app, or another kit, adds a section.

| Slot | What goes there |
|---|---|
| `AgentWorkPanel(Guid task)` | More about a piece of work, under its record — a section each from whoever adds one. |
| `AgentWorkActions(Guid task)` | What can be done about a piece of work, at the head of the page — straight under what it is and how it stands, so that nobody scrolls past a long record to stop it. |
| `AgentWorkOrigin(Guid task)` | Where a piece of work came from, beside who asked for it — `Osysharp.Agents.Processes` shows the run of the process the work is a step of, with the way to it. |
