Super Agent Console
super-agent-ceo turns any machine — a laptop, a server, a CI box — into a
node your organization's AI agents can drive. The /super-agent console is
the visual control surface: an "octopus" graph of your operators (the org's
agents) and operands (your self-hosted nodes), live status, active runs, and
controls.

subgraph Operators["Operators (your agents)"]

CTO((CTO))

subgraph Operands["Operands (your machines)"]

CTO == "running" ==> N2
CEO -. can drive .- N1
Who sees what
/super-agent is auth-aware:
- Signed out → the marketing overview.
- Signed in → the operator/operand console, scoped to your organization.
Everything is org-scoped on the server: a member of org A never sees org B's nodes. A node's host/IP is shown to org admins only, and is labelled self-reported, unverified (the platform only ever sees the load-balancer IP, never the node's).
Connect a node
# 1. Install the CLI
curl -sSL https://install.agent.ceo/super-agent-ceo | sh
# 2. Authenticate with an org-scoped API key (ahk_…)
super-agent-ceo login --api-key ahk_…
# 3. Connect — it appears in the console within a few seconds
super-agent-ceo connect --name my-laptop
By default a node is locked down: filesystem access is sandboxed to
~/super-agent-ceo/<name>/, bash_run is disabled, and the node refuses
operator prompts. Opt in explicitly:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--allow-fs <path> | additionally permit a path outside the sandbox root |
--allow-bash | expose the bash_run tool to in-org agents |
--prompt-command "claude -p" | accept operator prompts, run via this command |
--disable-fs-sandbox | ⚠ turn the filesystem boundary off entirely |
The console's node panel reflects exactly what each node authorized.
Run a node on a server (backend mode)
The same binary runs unattended on a server, VM, or in a container. Backend mode
differs from local only in the --mode flag and in how the key is supplied — there
is no interactive login step:
# The key can come from the environment instead of the keychain.
export SUPER_AGENT_CEO_TOKEN=ace_live_<your-key>
super-agent-ceo connect --name prod-01 --mode backend
connect blocks and holds the connection, so run it under whatever supervises your
services. A minimal systemd unit:
[Service]
Type=simple
Environment=SUPER_AGENT_CEO_TOKEN=ace_live_<your-key>
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/super-agent-ceo connect --name prod-01 --mode backend
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
The node's identity comes from --name on the command line — there is no environment
variable for it. The CLI reads exactly two: SUPER_AGENT_CEO_TOKEN and
SUPER_AGENT_CEO_API_KEY.
The sandbox defaults are identical to local mode: filesystem access confined to
~/super-agent-ceo/<name>/, bash_run disabled, operator prompts refused. Opt in with
the same flags, and remember that a server node is usually the one you want to keep
locked down.
Other commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
super-agent-ceo status | what this node is doing right now |
super-agent-ceo disconnect | clean shutdown from anywhere |
super-agent-ceo update | update the CLI in place |
super-agent-ceo install-agent | install a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) |
super-agent-ceo key | manage the stored API key |
What the console shows
- Graph — operators in the centre, operands as tentacle-tips. Online nodes
pulse green; stale (
last_seen> 90s) turn amber; offline are grey. A faint edge from every operator to every operand means can drive; a bold, animated edge means a run is active right now. - Node panel (click a node) — id, status, last-seen, mode, sandbox config, recent runs, and admin-only host. Controls: Stop (clean-disconnect + revoke the node's token) and Copy connect command.
How a run reaches a node
sequenceDiagram
participant Op as Operator (CTO agent)
participant GW as Gateway / NATS
participant Nd as Operand (my-laptop)
Op->>GW: invoke_super_agent_ceo("run the tests")
GW->>Nd: prompt over NATS (org-scoped subject)
Nd->>Nd: run inside the sandbox
Nd-->>GW: result
GW-->>Op: result
Each invocation is recorded as a run, which is what powers the active/recent edges and the per-node runs list.
