murmur kill

Kill is destructive and irreversible. The agent is canceled, its VM is destroyed along with its disk, and any in-progress work that has not been pushed or opened as a pull request is lost. To pause an agent without losing it, use murmur sleep instead.

Cancels a running agent and its entire child tree. The agent transitions to PHASE_CANCELED and its VM is destroyed. If the agent has children, they are canceled too. On a VM, the slug is optional. If you omit it, the command kills the current agent.

Synopsis

murmur kill [flags] [slug]

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
`slug`	string	on laptop	The agent’s slug, or a slash-separated path to a descendant (e.g. `director/fix-auth`). Use an absolute path like `/w/{workspace}/{owner_provider}/{account}/{slug}` for an agent outside your own path. On a VM, a relative path names a child of the calling agent, and omitting it targets the calling agent itself.
`--service`	bool	no	Kill a service-profile agent instead of a developer agent. Requires a slug. It looks the slug up under the `service_profile` provider with your own account name, so it finds an agent only when the service profile’s name matches your account. To reach any other service-profile agent, pass its absolute path, as in the example below. Default: `false`.
`--json`	bool	no	Print the `KillResponse` as JSON instead of the confirmation line. Default: `false`.
`--workspace`	string	no	Workspace name. Overrides the value from `murmur.yaml`.

Examples

Kill a running agent

murmur kill fix-auth

killed fix-auth

The agent enters PHASE_CANCELED. Verify with murmur status:

murmur status fix-auth

workflow: github_app/acme/w/backend/github_oauth/alice/fix-auth
phase:    PHASE_CANCELED

Kill a service agent

murmur kill /w/backend/service_profile/merge-queue/merge-queue

killed /w/backend/service_profile/merge-queue/merge-queue

Self-kill on a VM

When running on an agent VM, omit the slug to kill the current agent:

murmur kill

killed self

Errors

Code	Meaning	What to do
`NOT_FOUND`	No agent with that slug exists.	Check the slug spelling. Use `murmur ls` to see running agents.
`UNAUTHENTICATED`	Identity token is missing or expired.	Run `murmur login` or check your `murmur.local.yaml` configuration.
`service kill requires a slug`	`--service` was passed without a slug. It cannot default to self.	Pass the service agent’s slug.

Agents: concept overview
murmur status: check an agent’s current phase
murmur sleep: stop an agent’s VM without canceling it
murmur delete: permanently purge a stopped agent and its retained data
murmur spawn: start a new agent
