aitbc-cli --verbose agent sdk register --agent-id test-agent
```

### Debug Mode

Enable debug mode for detailed troubleshooting:

```bash
aitbc-cli --debug agent sdk list

## Workflows

### Register and Verify Agent

```bash
# Register agent
aitbc-cli agent sdk register \
  --agent-id my-agent \
  --type worker \
  --capabilities "data-processing,analysis"

# Verify registration
aitbc-cli agent sdk status --agent-id my-agent

# Check if agent appears in discovery
aitbc-cli agent sdk list --status active
```

### Submit and Monitor Task

```bash
# Submit task
aitbc-cli ai submit \
  --wallet openclaw-trainee \
  --type llama2 \
  --prompt "test prompt"

# Check distribution stats
aitbc-cli ai distribution-stats

# Monitor active agents
aitbc-cli agent sdk list --status active
```

### Update Agent Load

```bash
# Mark agent as busy
aitbc-cli agent sdk update-status \
  --agent-id my-agent \
  --status busy \
  --load-metrics '{"active_connections":10,"pending_tasks":5}'

# Mark agent as available again
aitbc-cli agent sdk update-status \
  --agent-id my-agent \
  --status active \
  --load-metrics '{"active_connections":0,"pending_tasks":0}'
```

## Error Handling

### Common Errors

**Agent not found:**
```
Agent not found: my-agent
```
Solution: Verify the agent ID is correct and the agent is registered.

**Coordinator unavailable:**
```
Error registering agent: Connection refused
```
Solution: Check that the coordinator service is running on port 9001.

**Invalid parameters:**
```
Error: --agent-id and --status are required
```
Solution: Provide all required arguments.

### Troubleshooting

**Check service status:**
```bash
systemctl status aitbc-agent-coordinator.service
```

**View service logs:**
```bash
journalctl -u aitbc-agent-coordinator.service -f
```

**Test coordinator health:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:9001/health
```

**Test coordinator API directly:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:9001/tasks/status
```

Configuration file format:
```json
{
  "coordinator_url": "http://localhost:9001",

}
```

## Integration with Other CLI Commands

The agent coordinator CLI integrates with other AITBC CLI commands:

- `aitbc-cli wallet` - For wallet management
- `aitbc-cli blockchain` - For blockchain operations
- `aitbc-cli ai` - For AI job submission and monitoring
- `aitbc-cli system` - For system status and operations

## Advanced Usage

### Batch Agent Registration

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Register multiple agents
for i in {1..5}; do
  aitbc-cli agent sdk register \
    --agent-id "agent-$i" \
    --type worker \
    --capabilities "data-processing"
done
```

### Monitoring Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Monitor agent coordinator
while true; do
  clear
  echo "=== Agent Coordinator Status ==="
  aitbc-cli ai distribution-stats
  echo ""
  echo "=== Active Agents ==="
  aitbc-cli agent sdk list --status active
  sleep 5
done
```

### Load Testing

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Submit multiple tasks
for i in {1..10}; do
  aitbc-cli ai submit \
    --wallet openclaw-trainee \
    --type llama2 \
    --prompt "Test task $i" &
done
wait
```
