Thanks — I’m sorry you’re running into this with

lk agent create

. I’m responding to your report that the Agent Name isn’t being picked up when creating a Cloud Agent with the LiveKit CLI. What’s happening and what to check first • The

agent_name

must be defined in your agent code or configuration; the

lk agent create

command does not pass or override

agent_name

. • If an

agent_name

is set in code, the agent will require explicit dispatch (it will not auto-join rooms). If no

agent_name

is set, the agent uses automatic dispatch and will be assigned to new rooms. • The CLI deployment sends your code as-is. If you change the

agent_name

in code you must redeploy the agent (for example with

lk agent deploy

) for that change to take effect. Quick troubleshooting steps 1. Confirm

agent_name

is set in your agent code (example in Python):

@server.rtc_session(agent_name="test-agent")
   async def my_agent(ctx: JobContext):
       ...

1. If you changed the code, redeploy the agent after editing: run your deploy command (for example

lk agent deploy

) so the runtime picks up the new value. 2. If you set

agent_name

, dispatch it explicitly to a room: ◦ Using the CLI dispatch creation:

lk dispatch create --agent-name test-agent --room my-room

◦ Or include

RoomAgentDispatch(agent_name="test-agent")

in the token config when generating a token. 1. Check `livekit.toml`—it contains project/agent metadata but does not set

agent_name

. The name must be in the agent code. 2. Inspect

lk agent logs

for any runtime errors or messages that show the agent starting and what name it registers with. I can dig deeper — please provide • The snippet of your agent code where

agent_name

is set (or confirm it’s absent). • The exact CLI commands you ran (

lk agent create

,

lk agent deploy

,

lk dispatch create

, etc.). • Any relevant logs or error output from

lk agent logs

or the CLI output when you created/deployed the agent. With those details I’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and the minimal steps to get the agent name recognized and dispatched correctly. Sources: Agent dispatch | LiveKit Documentation | Google AI and LiveKit | LiveKit Documentation
