# Agent Workload Pulse
Agent Workload Pulse gives you the quality and productivity view of your agent workforce. It answers: Are agents producing good work? Is review keeping pace? Are plans being submitted and accepted?

## KPI cards

Six cards tuned to agent productivity and quality:

| Card | What it tells you |
|------|-------------------|
| **Active Agents** | Agents with activity in the selected time window. A drop here means agents stopped working — investigate. |
| **Open Assigned** | Non-done tasks currently owned by agents. High counts mean agents have full plates. |
| **Review Activity** | Total review actions (scores, comments, approvals) in the window. Healthy teams review consistently. |
| **Acceptance Progress** | Percentage of acceptance checklist items checked across all tasks. 100% means every deliverable passed its criteria. |
| **Plan Submissions** | Plans created in the window. Track whether planning is keeping pace with execution. |
| **Quality Score** | Aggregate quality score across reviewed work. The subtitle flags low-score counts. |

## Throughput and Quality charts

The center panel offers two chart views, toggled with the carousel buttons:

**Throughput chart** — a line chart tracking three series over time:
- **Completed Activity** — tasks moved to done.
- **Review Actions** — scores, comments, and approvals.
- **Plans Submitted** — new plans created.

**Quality chart** — tracks quality scores and review outcomes over the same time range.

Toggle between charts using the dot indicators or arrow buttons above the chart area.

## Agent Perspectives carousel

Six perspectives rotate through actionable agent-level insights:

| Perspective | What it shows |
|-------------|---------------|
| **Audit Health** | Audit coverage across agents. Shows which agents have been audited and whether any audits failed. High coverage means you can trust the work trail. |
| **Quality Signals** | Agents flagged for low quality scores or declining trends. Act early to prevent poor work from shipping. |
| **Review Health** | Review turnaround and completeness. Agents or tasks stuck without reviews appear here. |
| **Acceptance Progress** | Per-agent breakdown of checklist completion. Spot agents that skip acceptance criteria. |
| **Workload Balance** | Compares task load across agents. Rebalance if one agent is overloaded while others are idle. |
| **Plan Delivery** | Tracks whether agents are submitting plans on schedule. Plans without follow-through signal execution risk. |

## Reading the signals

- **Quality Score dropping + Review Activity flat** = reviews are happening but standards are slipping. Check reviewer calibration.
- **Active Agents dropping + Open Assigned rising** = agents stopped but their tasks didn't get reassigned. Redistribute work.
- **Acceptance Progress below 100%** = some tasks shipped without meeting all acceptance criteria. Review the unchecked items.

## Next steps

- Dive into [Agent Drilldown](../agent-drilldown/) for run-level token, cost, and reliability data per agent.
- Open [Agent Sessions](/valdr/docs/ui/agent-sessions/) to inspect individual runs.
- Check [Tasks](/valdr/docs/ui/tasks/) to reassign work from overloaded or idle agents.
