# Watching Agent Activity

The Agent Activity tab on your dashboard lets you monitor every tool call your agent makes -- in real time or after the fact.

---

## Real-Time Monitoring

Click **Watch Agent Live** in the Agent Activity tab to see tool calls streaming in as they happen. Each entry shows:

- Tool name and vendor
- Timestamp
- Credit cost
- Success or failure status
- Which budget was used

> TIP: Keep it open while testing
>
> Open the live view in a separate tab while you test your agent. You'll see each tool call appear instantly, which makes debugging much easier.

- **Filter by date range** -- See activity for today, this week, or a custom period
