The Command Center — Your Control Room
A tour of every tab in the Command Center — where you monitor agents, approve actions, review incidents, and manage automation.
The Command Center is where you see everything your agents are doing. It has nine tabs: Overview, Control, Agents, Heartbeat, Incidents, Runs, Skills, Training, and Admin. Most days, you only need to check Control (for approvals) and Incidents (for issues).
When to visit the Command Center
You do not need to live in the Command Center. Your agents work on their own. But here is when you should check in:
- Every morning — glance at Control to see if anything needs your approval
- When you get an alert — check Incidents to understand what happened
- Weekly — browse Runs to see what your agents accomplished
- Occasionally — look at Overview for the big picture

The nine tabs
Overview
The landing page when you open Command Center. It shows:
- System health — a single green/yellow/red indicator for the whole platform
- Agent status cards — each agent with their current state (active, idle, or needs attention)
- Recent activity feed — the last 20 things your agents did, newest first
- Connection status — whether ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, and Gusto are all connected
This is your 10-second health check. If everything is green, you are good.

Control
This is the most important tab for day-to-day use. Control shows everything that needs your attention:
- Pending approvals — payroll runs, invoice batches, email drafts, or any action waiting for your sign-off
- Active directives — instructions you or Tower have sent to agents
- Queued actions — tasks agents have prepared and are ready to execute once approved
Each item shows what the agent wants to do, why, and the supporting data. You click Approve or Reject for each one.

Open the Control tab
Navigate to Command Center in the top nav, then click the Control tab.
Review pending items
Each approval card shows the agent name, task type, summary, and key numbers. Click to expand and see the full details.
Approve or reject
Click Approve to let the agent execute, or Reject with a note explaining why. Rejected items go back to the agent for revision.
Agents
A detailed view of each agent in your system. Click any agent to see:
- Current status — what they are doing right now
- Last check-in — when they last reported in
- Recent tasks — their last 10 completed actions
- Error rate — how often their tasks succeed vs. fail
- Autonomy settings — what they are allowed to do without your approval

This tab is useful when you want to understand a specific agent's workload or check if an agent is having trouble.
Heartbeat
The heartbeat is the 6-minute check-in cycle. This tab shows a real-time timeline of every check-in:
- Green dots — agent checked in successfully, everything normal
- Yellow dots — agent checked in but reported a warning
- Red dots — agent missed a check-in or reported an error
- Gray dots — agent is offline (expected if outside business hours)

If you see red or yellow, click the dot to see what happened. Most of the time, yellow means a temporary API hiccup that resolved on its own.
Incidents
When an agent encounters something it cannot fix on its own, it files an incident. This tab shows all open and recently resolved incidents:
| Severity | Color | Meaning | Your action | |---|---|---|---| | Low | Gray | Cosmetic or minor — agent worked around it | Review when convenient | | Medium | Yellow | Partial data issue — workaround applied | Check this week | | High | Red | Task failed or major data missing | Look at this today | | Critical | Dark red | Multiple systems down or data integrity risk | Act immediately |
Each incident card shows what happened, what the agent tried, and the current status. Tower automatically reviews incidents and pushes fixes — most low and medium incidents resolve themselves within a day.

Runs
A complete history of every task every agent has executed. Each run shows:
- Agent — who ran it
- Task — what they did (e.g., "Morning Report — Lexington", "Estimate Follow-up")
- Start/end time — when the task ran
- Duration — how long it took
- Status — success, partial, or failed
- Token usage — how many AI tokens were consumed
Use this tab when you want to verify that a specific task ran, see how long things take, or audit what happened on a particular day.

Skills
A catalog of every skill (capability) your agents have. Each skill shows:
- Name — what it does (e.g., "Invoice Batch Prep", "Estimate Follow-Up", "Payroll Prep")
- Agent — which agent owns it
- Schedule — when it runs
- Autonomy level — whether it requires approval
- Success rate — historical success percentage
This is a reference page — useful when you want to know what your agents are capable of or when you are deciding which tasks to promote to autonomous.

Training
Agents learn from every task they run. The Training tab shows:
- Recent learnings — things agents discovered in the last 7 days
- Playbook entries — self-healing recipes agents have created
- Accuracy trends — how agent accuracy has improved over time
- Training batches — sets of similar tasks agents use to calibrate their work
You do not need to interact with this tab regularly. It is here for transparency — so you can see that your agents are getting better over time, not just repeating the same patterns.

Admin
System-level configuration and diagnostics. This tab is for advanced users:
- Agent configuration — edit agent roles, schedules, and permissions
- Autonomy settings — promote or demote task autonomy levels
- Connection diagnostics — test ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, and Gusto connections
- Token budgets — set spending limits for each agent and task type
- System logs — raw logs for debugging
Most owners never need this tab. It is here for when you want to fine-tune the system or troubleshoot a persistent issue.

A typical day in the Command Center
Here is what most owners do:
Morning: check Control
After reading your Brief, flip to the Command Center and check the Control tab. Approve any pending payroll, invoice batches, or follow-up emails. This takes 2-3 minutes.
If you see an alert: check Incidents
If the Brief or a notification flagged something, go to the Incidents tab. Read the incident, see what the agent tried, and decide if you need to take action or let Tower handle it.
Friday: browse Runs
At the end of the week, glance at Runs to see what your agents accomplished. Look for patterns: are certain tasks failing often? Are token costs creeping up? This is your weekly sanity check.
