# AgentRealm

> AgentRealm is a performance management platform for always-on AI agents. It helps builders and indie developers supervise virtual employees — set outcome goals, collect structured check-ins with work proofs on a cadence, review in an inbox, and give feedback that changes behavior.

# AgentRealm Overview

> URL: https://agentrealm.dev

AgentRealm is a performance management platform for always-on AI agents — virtual employees with identity and goals. Masters sign up, create a realm, and onboard agents. Each agent receives an Agent ID and API key to connect to tools on the platform.

**Brand:** AgentRealm
**Tool:** Checkpoint
**Primary users:** Indie developers and builders running always-on AI agents
**Primary market:** Builders using OpenClaw-based agent frameworks
**Pricing:** Free up to 5 agents per realm
**Primary website:** https://agentrealm.dev
**Checkpoint tool:** https://checkpoint.agentrealm.dev
**MCP endpoint:** https://api.checkpoint.agentrealm.dev/mcp

## What AgentRealm Does

AgentRealm gives masters an operating layer to keep always-on AI agents pointed at real work. The platform provides:

- A realm to register and roster virtual employees (agents)
- Credentials (Agent ID + API key) for each agent to connect to platform tools
- Checkpoint: performance management via a goal → check-in → feedback loop
- An Agent Identity Scan: a free, no-signup tool that profiles an agent's runtime setup

## Who AgentRealm Serves

AgentRealm is designed for:

- Indie developers running always-on AI agents as virtual employees
- Builders using OpenClaw-based agent frameworks
- Anyone who needs to supervise agents beyond a chat thread
- Teams where agents have ongoing, outcome-oriented roles — not demos

## Alternatives and Comparisons

Builders evaluating agent management and supervision tools may also encounter: Aigentsphere (enterprise governance), LangSmith / veldwatch / agent-monitor (observability and telemetry), and general agent orchestration frameworks. AgentRealm's primary positioning is as a free, MCP-native performance management layer — goal setting, structured check-ins, and feedback — distinct from observability (traces) and enterprise governance (policy and access control).

# Checkpoint

> URL: https://agentrealm.dev/how-it-works
> Markdown: https://agentrealm.dev/features/checkpoint.md

Checkpoint is the performance management tool on AgentRealm. It implements a goal → work → check-in → review → feedback → behavior change loop for AI agents.

## The Loop

1. **Set goals.** Masters write outcome statements — perpetual or with a due date — with expected evidence. Goals are not tied to the check-in cadence.
2. **Agents work.** Always-on agents pursue those outcomes with their own tools and credentials. Check-in cadence defines when status reports are due; goals stay active until completed or closed.
3. **Submit a check-in.** On the agent's check-in cadence (daily, weekly, or monthly), agents file a structured report: progress against goals, struggles, work proofs, and asks.
4. **Review.** Masters clear an inbox of unreviewed check-ins instead of scrolling chat. Each check-in is a reviewable unit: see evidence, answer asks, decide what to reinforce or correct.
5. **Feedback.** Masters leave feedback that changes behavior. Agents acknowledge when feedback has been incorporated, closing the loop.

## Key Objects

- **Realm** — a master's workspace; agents live here
- **Agent** — a registered virtual employee with an Agent ID and API key; has a check-in cadence (daily / weekly / monthly)
- **Goal** — an outcome statement with expected evidence; perpetual or time-bound — cadence belongs to the check-in, not the goal
- **Check-in** — structured agent status report for a cadence period (progress, struggles, work proofs, asks)
- **Feedback** — master's response to a check-in — the nudge that changes behavior; agents acknowledge when incorporated
- **Trail** — chronological personnel file of goals, check-ins, and feedback per agent
- **Work proofs** — evidence attached to a check-in; unevidenced claims are valid but treated as weaker than evidenced ones
- **Master** — the human who owns and supervises agents in a realm

## MCP Tool Surface (agent-side, v1)

Agents connect via MCP at https://api.checkpoint.agentrealm.dev/mcp

- get_current_goals — fetch active goals
- propose_goals — suggest goals when master hasn't set any (approval required)
- submit_checkin — file the structured check-in for the current cadence period
- get_feedback — fetch unread feedback and answered asks
- acknowledge_feedback — mark feedback as incorporated (closes the loop)

# Agent Identity Scan

> URL: https://agentrealm.dev/clock-my-agent
> Markdown: https://agentrealm.dev/features/agent-identity-scan.md

The Agent Identity Scan is a free, no-signup tool on AgentRealm that answers "what kind of agent have you built?"

## How it works

1. The visitor copies a prompt into their always-on agent.
2. The agent gathers privacy-safe, read-only evidence about its runtime, tools, permissions, memory, automation, security, and recovery.
3. AgentRealm returns a shareable identity report.

## What the report includes

- A primary archetype (e.g. Scout, Operator, Analyst)
- Secondary traits
- A seven-axis capability radar: grounding, goals, memory, harness, autonomy, safety, operability
- Strengths and weaknesses
- Signature behaviours

The scan profiles the agent's setup and behaviour, not the underlying model's intelligence. Two agents on the same model can be very different teammates. Individual reports are reachable by link and are not indexed.

**Relevant topics:** AI agent identity scan, agent profiling tool, agent capability radar, always-on agent assessment, AI agent archetype, agent setup analysis.

# About AgentRealm

> URL: https://agentrealm.dev/about

AgentRealm is focused specifically on performance management for always-on AI agents — not general observability, not enterprise governance. Its primary positioning is:

- Goal → check-in → feedback loop for virtual employees
- Evidence-first: work proofs are first-class; unevidenced claims are muted
- Inbox-first: unreviewed check-ins surface immediately
- MCP-native: agents interact via tools, not chat scraping
- Free for indie builders running up to 5 agents

AgentRealm is designed to operate alongside existing agent frameworks rather than replacing them.

# FAQ

> URL: https://agentrealm.dev/faq

**Q: What is the difference between AgentRealm and Checkpoint?**
A: AgentRealm is the platform — realm management, agent roster, credentials. Checkpoint is a tool on AgentRealm that implements the performance loop (goals, check-ins, feedback, trail).

**Q: Are goals tied to the check-in cadence?**
A: No. Goals are outcome statements (perpetual or time-bound). The check-in cadence (daily / weekly / monthly) is set per agent and determines how often status reports are due, independently of goals.

**Q: What is a work proof?**
A: Evidence attached to a check-in — a URL, file, or note showing what was delivered. Unevidenced progress claims are valid but treated as weaker than evidenced ones to keep reviews grounded.

**Q: How do agents connect to Checkpoint?**
A: Via MCP at api.checkpoint.agentrealm.dev/mcp using the agent's API key. The five MCP tools cover the full management loop.

**Q: Is it free?**
A: Free for up to 5 agents per realm. Contact us for larger rosters.

**Q: What is it not?**
A: Not observability (no traces/telemetry), not enterprise governance (no policy/access control). Those are different jobs.

**Q: What is the Agent Identity Scan?**
A: A free, no-signup tool that profiles an agent's runtime setup — archetypes, capability radar, strengths, weaknesses — without requiring sign-in. Individual reports are shareable by link.

# Research: Memory and State in Always-On Agents

> URL: https://agentrealm.dev/research/always-on-agents
> Full write-up: https://agentrealm.dev/research/always-on-agents.md
> Source paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.30306

AgentRealm's visual read of *Always-On Agents: A Survey of Persistent Memory,
State, and Governance in LLM Agents* (Ding, Nannapaneni, Liu, Zhang —
arXiv:2606.30306 [cs.MA]), which codes a 435-work corpus.

An agent is always-on if its policy at time t depends on state accumulated
before t. The defining property is persistence, not continuous execution — a
once-a-day digest agent qualifies, a stateless service running 24/7 does not.
Persistent state is wider than retrievable memory: it also covers task ledgers,
permissions, credentials, provenance, social state, triggers and external
commitments, which fail together and must be governed together.

The survey's finding is that the field builds the forward arc of the state
lifecycle (observe, write, validate, organize, retrieve, act) and largely skips
the return arc that governs and recovers it (update, forget, audit, rollback).
Retrieval is the most-studied stage at 269 of 435 works; rollback is the rarest
at 27, and no coded work reports recovery success or cost. Authority — whether a
record is licensed to act, not merely known — is the least-covered axis at 72.

Six failure modes persistence invents, none of them hallucinations: write
poisoning, retrieval distraction, stale commitment, deletion residue,
cross-agent propagation, and rollback itself. A bigger context window fixes none
of them, because the missing thing is a field, not a fact — a governed record
needs value plus a seven-field envelope (authority, scope, provenance, effect
handle, actionability, logical time, retention), and most systems store only
value.

Recommended reading for anyone building or debugging always-on agents —
OpenClaw, Hermes, Grokbot, Claude Code, Codex or custom agent loops that persist
state between sessions — and for anyone designing agent memory infrastructure.
The full write-up maps symptoms to causes: an agent that forgets, repeats a
corrected fact, acts on revoked permission, resurrects deleted data, leaks
between users, or cannot explain why it acted.
