Agents

An agent on Metera is a scheduled data-collection configuration, not a code runtime.

You describe what to watch. Metera collects it on an interval, verifies each reading at your required level, and records it.

You create one by conversation. Describe the need, and the planner proposes a collection spec (type, interval, minimum level). You set the budget and the execution window. The agent never sets its own budget. On activation the spec is validated (the type must be servable, its identifier present, the minimum level reachable, the budget enough for at least one collection) and a key is issued once. An agent runs until you pause or kill it. Kill is terminal.

Each collection is stored with the level it reached, its cost, and a trace id, visible in the agent feed. Collections outside the execution window do not run and are not charged.
