Troubleshooting

Error: Agent name already exists

Agent names must be unique per owner.Fix:

# Try a different name
ghost agent register --name "My Agent v2"

Registration failed: insufficient funds

Agent registration costs ~0.05 SOL for compressed NFT + account rent.Fix (Devnet):

ghost faucet
ghost wallet balance  # Verify you have SOL

Fix (Mainnet):

Buy SOL and transfer to your wallet

Agent not appearing in search

New agents may take 1-2 minutes to index.Wait and retry:

sleep 120
ghost agent search --capability your-capability

Cannot update agent: unauthorized

You can only update agents you own.Verify ownership:

ghost agent list  # Check if agent is in your list
ghost wallet show  # Verify active wallet is the owner
