Restart Agent

Restart a specific agent by stopping and starting it.

Usage

/ops/restart <agent-name>

Instructions

1. **Validate the agent name** - Check it exists using `mcp__trinity__get_agent`

2. **Check current status** - Is it running, stopped, or in error state?

3. **If running**:

• Stop the agent using `mcp__trinity__stop_agent`
• Wait 2-3 seconds for clean shutdown
• Verify it stopped

4. **Start the agent** using `mcp__trinity__start_agent`

5. **Verify the restart**:

• Check agent is running
• Confirm agent server is responding

6. **Report the result**:

## Agent Restart: {agent-name}

**Previous Status**: {running/stopped}
**Stop Result**: {success/failed}
**Start Result**: {success/failed}
**Final Status**: {running/stopped}

{Any notes or warnings}

Safety Checks

• Do NOT restart trinity-system (yourself)
• If agent was stopped, just start it (no need to stop first)
• If restart fails, report the error clearly
• If agent has high context, note that restart will NOT reset context

Arguments

The agent name should be provided after the command. For example:

• `/ops/restart research-agent`
• `/ops/restart content-production-writer`
