Watch a run

Find a run, see what it is doing and read its changes

You follow your runs in three places in the app. The Runs page lists them all, the Attention page lists the ones that wait for you, and a run’s own page shows it in full.

Choose Runs in the sidebar to list every run. Search with “Search runs…”, and filter by Status, Time, Repo and Workflow. Turn on Show archived to include archived runs.

Columns chooses what the list shows: Status, Harness, Repo, Title, Workflow, Created, Size and PR.

The sidebar also lists Recent runs and Recent chats. View all opens the runs page.

The Runs page, a table of runs with status, harness, repository, title, workflow, created, size and pull request columns, with a search box and filter chips above it.
Search and the filter chips sit above the table of runs.
The Runs page with the Status filter open, listing Created, Queued, Running, Question, Waiting, At a gate, Paused, Succeeded, Failed and Aborted.
Each filter chip opens a list of the values you can pick.

The Attention page lists the runs in the selected project that wait for you: the runs with the standing Question or Paused. When nothing waits, the page says “Nothing needs attention”.

The Attention page, listing the runs in a project that are waiting for an answer or an action from you.
Only the runs that wait for you are listed.

Choose a run to open its page. The page has a header, six tabs and a dock.

The header shows the run’s title, workflow, branch and harness. The Run actions menu (⋯) holds the run controls. It also holds Copy run ID, Download run JSON and your project’s custom actions. Open in opens the run’s folder in another app, such as your editor.

A run page on the Session tab, showing route, wait and command steps one after another and ending in Stopped with an error, with the run's facts, pull requests and steps in the dock.
The Session tab tells the run's story step by step.
Tab What it shows
Session The conversation: the goal, each step, the agent’s messages and tool calls, questions and notices.
Waterfall A timeline of the steps. Choose a step to see its status, input and output.
Context The values steps have written, such as outputs and facts.
Logs The run’s recorded events, with search.
Workflow The workflow as a diagram and as source, frozen as the run started it. Open in editor opens it.
Cost Two tables. Tokens by step gives each step’s model, tokens in and out, run time and cost, with a total. Tokens by model adds them up for each model.
The Waterfall tab, a timeline of the run's steps drawn as bars with their durations.
Longer bars are steps that took longer.

The dock sits beside the tabs and has three tabs of its own.

Run The run’s project, workflow, branch, harness, model, run ID and path; its Pull requests; its Steps; and the Agent of the current turn, with its settings and tools.
