Strata Cloud Manager retries internally to ensure complete shutdown without requiring multiple confirmations from you. Existing agent conversations remain viewable in read-only mode.

The Disable Agent button is designed for emergency situations where you need immediate assurance that no agent action is executing. After using this button, review the cancelled plans in Action Center before re-enabling the agent to understand what work was interrupted.
