agents

A coordination command for viewing the software agents currently active in a Claude Code project. It shows their patterns, focus areas, and status, but does not write code or run commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list active agents, inspect an agent’s metrics, or monitor a group of agents working together.
Why use it?
It gives you a view of which agents are working, idle, or coordinating without confusing coordination with implementation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 305 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

List Active Patterns

🎯 Key Principle

This tool coordinates Claude Code's actions. It does NOT write code or create content.

MCP Tool Usage in Claude Code

Tool: mcp__claude-flow__agent_list

Parameters

{
  "swarmId": "current"
}

Description

View all active cognitive patterns and their current focus areas

Details

Filters:

  • all: Show all defined patterns
  • active: Currently engaged patterns
  • idle: Available but unused patterns
  • busy: Patterns actively coordinating tasks

Example Usage

In Claude Code:

  1. List all agents: Use tool mcp__claude-flow__agent_list
  2. Get specific agent metrics: Use tool mcp__claude-flow__agent_metrics with parameters {"agentId": "coder-123"}
  3. Monitor agent performance: Use tool mcp__claude-flow__swarm_monitor with parameters {"interval": 2000}

Important Reminders

  • ✅ This tool provides coordination and structure
  • ✅ Claude Code performs all actual implementation
  • ❌ The tool does NOT write code
  • ❌ The tool does NOT access files directly
  • ❌ The tool does NOT execute commands

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agents is a command published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/RuView (92,079 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 305 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
