tags:
  - name: Agents
    description: >-
      Agents are the AI workers that execute tasks against sources. Create and
      manage the agents in your organization.
  - name: Components
    description: >-
      Embeddable UI components. Create short-lived session tokens for the Auth
      Component.
  - name: Credentials
    description: >-
      Credentials store the login details an agent uses at a source. Values are
      tokenized at rest and never returned in plaintext.
  - name: Event Destinations
    description: >-
      Where Deck delivers events: webhooks, SQS, Kinesis, S3, or EventBridge.
      Manage destinations and inspect delivery attempts.
  - name: Events
    description: >-
      Immutable records of things that happened in your organization, such as a
      task run completing or a credential being verified.
  - name: Sessions
    description: >-
      Sessions are agent sandbox lifetimes. A session is created for each task
      run (or explicitly) and counts toward your concurrency limit.
  - name: Sources
    description: >-
      Sources are the websites and portals agents work against. Register,
      inspect, reset, and delete them.
  - name: Storage
    description: >-
      Files produced by task runs: downloaded documents, exports, and extraction
      results.
  - name: Task Runs
    description: >-
      A task run is one execution of a task. Inspect status and output, retrieve
      files and screenshots, cancel runs, and answer interaction requests.
  - name: Tasks
    description: >-
      Tasks define reusable units of work for an agent: a goal, an input schema,
      and an output schema. Run them against sources with credentials.
