About Watchdog
Watchdog is a dedicated local control plane designed specifically for developers managing subagents, agentic loops, and complex agent execution graphs. While parallel coding agents enable rapid development, coordinating concurrent tasks can quickly become complex and difficult to track. Watchdog solves this issue by offering a centralized, real-time dashboard of your entire agent network.
Rather than acting as a passive monitoring dashboard, Watchdog operates as an active control room. From a single workspace, developers can observe what each agent is working on, track real-time token consumption and costs, identify the specific model and reasoning effort in use, and map agent relationships. Crucially, Watchdog allows you to actively stop, steer, and control your running agents in real time.
To fit seamlessly into different developer environments and workflow preferences, Watchdog provides three distinct user interfaces:
- Yard: A unique, pixel-art-themed user interface.
- Operator: A dedicated, streamlined control interface.
- TUI: A Terminal User Interface tailored specifically for command-line environments.
Pros of Watchdog
- Provides a unified, real-time control plane to actively stop, steer, and manage all subagents
- Tracks critical execution metrics including token consumption, costs, and reasoning efforts
- Offers three flexible user surfaces: Yard (pixel art UI), Operator, and a terminal-based TUI
- Maps and visualizes complex relationships between parallel execution graphs and agentic loops
Cons of Watchdog
- Operates as a local control plane, which may not suit teams looking for a fully managed SaaS cloud solution
- Primarily tailored for coding-centric agents and execution graphs rather than general-purpose business automations
Frequently Asked Questions

Does Watchdog allow you to control agents, or is it read-only?
Watchdog is an active control room. It goes beyond simple passive monitoring, allowing you to actively stop, steer, and control all of your agents from a single workspace.
What details can I track for each agent using Watchdog?
You can monitor what each agent is currently working on, the specific model and reasoning effort being utilized, real-time token consumption, associated execution costs, and the relationships between different agents in your execution graph.
