12/15/2025, 8:34 PMWhich agents do you mean by "current agents" — LiveKit server workers, room participants (peers), OS-level service agents, or another system? Also tell me:
• Where are the agents listed or exposed (API endpoint, local process list, database)?
• Do you need IDs from a remote LiveKit instance or from the machine you're running PowerShell on?
With that I’ll provide a targeted PowerShell snippet to store the IDs in a variable.

12/15/2025, 8:35 PMI mean from the return of lk agent list, it seems it is not able to output as json, so can you show me how to get the id of the agents into a variable.

12/15/2025, 8:35 PMThanks — you mean parsing the plain-text table from
lk agent list Copy code
# run command and keep only table lines that contain column separators
$tableLines = lk agent list | Where-Object { $_ -match '│' }
$agentIds = @()
foreach ($line in $tableLines) {
# normalize spacing and split on the column separator
$cols = ($line -replace '^\s*│\s*','' -replace '\s*│\s*$','') -split '│'
# first column is the ID; trim and skip header/border rows
$id = $cols[0].Trim()
if ($id -and $id -ne 'ID') { $agentIds += $id }
}
# show collected IDs
