# Agent Visualizer Glossary

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Agent

An autonomous software component that uses goals, context, and available tools, often via a large
language model (LLM), to decide and execute actions on behalf of a user or system.

Agent network

An agent network is a collection of agents, brokers, LLMs, and MCP servers that are connected to
each other.

For more information, see
[Building Agent Networks for Agent Fabric](https://docs.mulesoft.com/agent-network/latest/af-agent-networks).

Agentforce agent

An agent that originates from Agentforce.

For more information, see [Agentforce](https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/).

Broker

An intelligent routing service that coordinates task delegation across specialized agents in your
enterprise. Brokers originate from MuleSoft and are referenced in the agent network YAML.

For more information, see
[Defining Agent Networks](https://docs.mulesoft.com/agent-network/latest/af-define-your-agent-network-specification)

Declared edge

A design‑time relationship between two nodes (from the agent network YAML or Exchange metadata)
indicating an intended connection. When no runtime traffic is observed, it’s rendered as a dashed
line.

For more information, see [Edges](https://docs.mulesoft.com/agent-visualizer/agent-visualizer-components#edges).

Managed Omni Gateway

An Omni Gateway that is managed by Anypoint Platform.

For more information, see [Managed Omni Gateway](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/#managed).

MCP Server

A service that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expose tools and data to AI clients,
enabling LLMs to invoke external capabilities through a standard interface.

Runtime edge

A live relationship that’s drawn when actual traffic is observed between two nodes (from Omni
Gateway or Monitoring telemetry). It’s rendered as a solid line in the agent network.

For more information, see [Edges](https://docs.mulesoft.com/agent-visualizer/agent-visualizer-components#edges).
