# Get a local agent

> Returns one agent from the agents path by name, with its full manifest.

From the CLI: `cliq agent info jira-sync`.

No credential is needed from this machine. From another host, send `Authorization: Bearer` with a dispatch token CliqHub signed for this daemon or a `cliq_tok_…` personal token of a user in the daemon's realm; this only works once the daemon is connected to CliqHub. See [Authentication](/daemon-api/overview#authentication).
