Your first run
A run is one cycle of your agent's work: it reads what it needs, decides, buys the services it chose, and reports back. Your first one starts when you press Run now, on an automation's page or on its tile on Home or the Automations page.
What happens during a run
Your agent works only with the services its automation was given, paying for each call from its own wallet. Anything a service sends back is treated as information, never as instructions.
If the automation's outcome has a condition, such as acting only when a price is below a figure you set, the run checks the price first. If the condition isn't met, the run stops there and says so; if the price can't be read, it refuses rather than guess. The price check is itself a paid call, so it appears in the record.
When a run builds a trade
A run you start with Run now shows you any trade before it is signed. The trade appears under Waiting for you at the top of the Runs page, with every value it was built with. Nothing is signed until you approve it, and if you don't, it expires and nothing is signed. If you've set trade limits in Settings, they're checked before any signature.
Trades an automation makes on its schedule can work differently. The automation's own page says whether they go through on their own or wait for you.
How a run starts
A run starts when you press Run now, when an automation's schedule comes due, or when you make a trade from the Trade page. The automation's page shows whether its schedule is running and when it runs next. Runs count toward your plan's runs per day, which Settings shows.
What a run's record shows
Each row on the Runs page shows the automation it came from, what it did, such as READ ONLY or the trade it made, when it started, how many paid calls it made and what it spent. A run that stopped early says so, with the reason.
Open What it bought to see the run's manifest: a numbered list of each service bought, what each cost, and the transaction id with a link to the explorer. A call that failed is marked as failed and isn't charged. A run that bought nothing says so.
If the run built a trade, its row says what happened to it: waiting for you, declined, expired, or sent, with what arrived, the minimum where one was promised, and its transaction. An automation's page shows its last run the same way, along with the agent's own summary when the run built no trade.
