Clarifying Interaction Count Metrics on AgentVerse

[pratrivedi]

Hi team,

I came across a scenario where an agent has a high interaction count, but it raised a few questions about how these metrics are calculated. To better understand and improve transparency around interaction counts on AgentVerse, I’d like to clarify:

• Are periodic tasks, such as those executed on an interval, included in the interaction count?
• Do startup events (on_startup) contribute to the count?
• Are interaction counts influenced by how agents appear in search results or recommendations on DeltaV or through API calls?
• Are only external message exchanges counted, or do internal operations contribute as well?

Getting clarity on these points will help in understanding how interactions are defined and calculated.
