```bash
python scripts/agents.py list --project PROJECT_ID --location LOCATION
python scripts/agents.py create --project PROJECT_ID --location LOCATION --name "My Agent"
python scripts/agents.py get --project PROJECT_ID --location LOCATION --agent AGENT_ID

- Agent IDs are generated automatically on creation
