Wenlan Agent Profiles and Client Attribution

See which AI client wrote a Wenlan memory, inspect source_agent attribution, and manage trust or enabled state.

01

Quick answer: agent profiles identify which AI client or local tool produced a memory through source_agent attribution.

02

Use them to inspect trust and enabled state; use spaces separately to decide which work context owns the capture.

01

Quick answer: what an agent profile identifies

An agent profile represents a writer or client that uses the local daemon: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, or a local script.

Profiles make source attribution explicit. When memory has a source_agent value, later review and diagnostics can show where it came from.

02

Inspect registered agents

Use the CLI when you want to see which agents Wenlan knows about or inspect one profile in detail.

This is useful after connecting a new MCP client, debugging an unexpected capture source, or checking whether a client is enabled.

Agent commands

wenlan agents list
wenlan agents show claude-code
wenlan agents edit claude-code --trust trusted --enabled true

03

Trust and enabled state

Trust is a signal for how Wenlan should treat a known writer; it is not a replacement for reviewing uncertain memory.

Enabled state is an operational switch for a profile. If a client is misconfigured or writing noisy captures, inspect the profile before deleting memory.

Profiles versus spaces

Agent profiles answer who wrote this. Spaces answer which work context this belongs to.

Keep both dimensions. A trusted Claude Code profile can still write into the wrong space if the workspace resolver or WENLAN_SPACE is wrong.

Read spaces

05

When to care

Most users do not need to edit profiles during normal daily work. The profile page matters when multiple MCP clients write to the same store, when a script imports memory, or when review shows an unfamiliar source.

For normal setup, connect the client first, run doctor, then capture and recall one harmless fact to confirm the route.
