Agents API

Quint automatically detects AI agents running on enrolled machines using code signing identification. The agents API provides a registry of all detected agent platforms across your fleet.

Endpoints

GET /v1/agents

List all detected agents across the fleet.

GET /v1/agents/{id}

Get detail for a specific detected agent.

Agent Detection

The Quint daemon identifies AI agents through multiple signals:
  • Code signing — Primary detection method. The daemon inspects the code signing identity of processes to identify known agent binaries (e.g., com.anthropic.claude-code, com.todesktop.cursor).
  • Process name — Fallback matching against known agent binary names.
  • Behavioral fingerprinting — Activity patterns used to identify agent-driven (versus human) activity. This is an attribution signal for detecting agents, not a behavioral baseline used for enforcement.

Supported Agents

Quint detects major AI coding assistants and agent frameworks out of the box:
