what is the agent name required for when you want to do an agent dispatch const dispatch = await agentClient.createDispatch(roomName, agentName, { metadata: JSON.stringify(dispatchMetadata), }); is the agent name the same name as the worker names i can see in the livekit agents view?

Thanks for reaching out, Daniel. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

what are some reasons for why a bot does not get dispatched to a room

Thanks — I'll list common reasons a bot might not be dispatched and what to check. • Agent server not running or not registered. Verify the agent process is up and connected. •

agent_name

mismatch. Ensure the

agentName

passed to

createDispatch

exactly matches the agent’s configured `agent_name`/`agentName` in its entrypoint. • No workers for that agent name. Multiple workers can share one `agentName`; if none are registered, dispatch will fail. • Crosstalk / wrong project or shared environment. Another developer’s agents or shared project settings can cause dispatches to route unexpectedly. • Dispatch request timing or method. Token-based dispatch only works at room creation; other dispatch methods must be used correctly. • Credentials or permission issues. Check API key/secret and that the agent can authenticate. • Cold starts / scaling delays. If agents scale-to-zero or are cold-starting, they may miss rapid dispatches or time out. • Resource or infrastructure issues. High CPU, memory pressure, or network problems can prevent agents from connecting in time. • Startup or signal-handling bugs. Wrapper scripts that don’t forward signals (missing

exec

) or crash on shut down can prevent proper registration or draining. If you want, tell me: • the

agent_name

you set in your agent code, • the

createDispatch

call you’re making, • and whether you see any agent workers for that name in the Agents UI— and I’ll help narrow down the likely cause.
