# Agents

> Every signal monitoring agent Fuse offers, covering job changes, hiring, funding, headcount and social activity, for people you already track and for finding new ones.

An agent watches for one specific buying signal and drops whoever matches into a list, on a schedule, without you asking again.

Agents live under **Signals** in the Fuse app. In the API and over [MCP](/mcp/tools) they are called **signal monitors**, which is the same thing.

## The two shapes

Every agent is one of two shapes, and it is the first choice you make when creating one.

    You already know these people or companies. The agent watches them and tells you when something changes.

    You do not know them yet. The agent goes looking for anyone matching the signal and brings them back.

## What it costs

Agents are not billed the same way as each other, because they do not work the same way.

Some charge for each contact or company you put under watch, and charge again each time the agent reruns, whether or not anything changed. Others charge only when a result is actually delivered into your list, so a quiet week costs nothing.

The app shows the cost model for the agent you are creating, on the agent itself, before you activate it. Read it there rather than assuming it matches another agent you have run. See [credits and billing](/concepts/credits) for how the workspace balance works.

<Warning>
  **An agent that runs out of credits pauses itself.** When your balance cannot cover a scheduled rerun, Fuse pauses that agent rather than partially delivering or silently skipping. Top up and reactivate it to resume.
</Warning>
