rpk ai agent

Manage agents registered with the Redpanda AI platform.

Agents are either managed (adp runs them; configured via a model, LLM provider, system prompt and MCP servers) or self-managed (a metadata-only record tracking a user-hosted agent). create makes a managed agent by default; pass --self-managed for the metadata-only variant.

The credential subcommand provisions client-id/secret pairs an agent uses to authenticate against the gateway. The a2a subcommand talks to a running agent over the A2A protocol (fetch its card, send messages, manage tasks).
