A managed agent works with two kinds of files: folders you grant from your file store, and scratch files local to its execution environment.

​
Granted folders

mob.so keeps your files in one durable store per account. The Files node in the agent’s configuration grants folders from that store, and each granted folder appears in the agent’s environment under /home/agent/files. A folder grant covers everything inside the folder, and the agent can read and write those paths. Changes the agent writes under /home/agent/files are saved to the store, so they remain available across runs, environment replacements, and runtime resets. Removing a grant removes the folder from the environment before the next run starts.

​
Scratch files

The agent may also create local files in its working directory, /home/agent/workspace. mob.so reuses the environment for later runs, so scratch files usually remain available between runs. They are not saved to your file store.

​
Reset behavior

Resetting the runtime cancels active runs and removes the current environment, including its scratch files. It also clears saved runtime thread state. Granted folders are unaffected, and the next run creates a new environment from the deployed configuration with the same grants. Managing agents covers deployment, reset, and deletion.
