# What agents can see

> Every agent in Gobi inherits its boundaries. None of them creates its own.

Gobi is built around agents — yours, your spaces', and any you
connect. The rule that governs all of them is the same one, and
it's worth stating before the inventory: **an agent can only
draw on what its owner could already open.** Agents inherit the
boundaries you've read about across these docs; no agent
crosses one, and no prompt, question, or clever phrasing makes
it.

## Your personal agent

Your [personal agent](/personal-core/personal-agent) works from
your Home — your captures, Summaries, transcripts, notes, and
attachments. That's the whole point of it: one agent that has
actually read your conversations, answering only to you.

What it does with that access is bounded the same way your Home
is: asking your personal agent questions exposes nothing to
anyone. It doesn't report to spaces, doesn't feed other
members' agents, and doesn't share what it knows with anything
you haven't [connected yourself](#agents-you-connect).

## Space agents

A [space agent](/spaces/space-agent) knows what its space was
given — shared captures and the posts around them — and
answers each member only from the rooms they're in. The full
boundary, assembled:

* **Members' Homes don't exist to it.** It sees what was
  [deliberately shared](/spaces/share-a-capture), never what
  wasn't — and a shared capture brings its Summary only.
* **It won't show you rooms you're not in.** Its answers to
  you come from your channels. No question is phrased well
  enough to change that.
* **Private channels and DMs stay out of its memory.** The
  smaller the room, the stronger the rule.
* **Admins shape its voice, not its reach.** A space agent can
  be [named and given standing instructions](/spaces/settings-and-members)
  — and no instruction extends what it can see.

Your personal agent and your spaces' agents don't compare
notes. Each answers from its own side of the line.

## Agents you connect

The third kind is the one you bring:
[connect an agent of your own](/getting-started/connect-your-agent)
— a CLI, an assistant, a tool — and it works from your Gobi
data with you. Two properties keep this in your hands:

* **You grant the access.** A connection starts with a token
  you generate, single-use and expiring within 24 hours if
  unused — nothing connects to your Gobi without you having
  issued its way in.
* **It acts as you, for you.** A connected agent reaches your
  data, on your behalf — connecting one publishes nothing and
  grants nothing to anyone else.

What a connection can reach and how to manage one lives on the
[connect your agent](/getting-started/connect-your-agent) page.

## What no agent sees

The short version of this page: nothing in Gobi gives any
agent — yours, a space's, or a connected one — a view that its
owner doesn't have. Your Home has exactly one reader with a
pulse, and every agent in the system respects the same walls
you do.
