Reboot an agent or a specific SIM slot (cellular only).

<Warning>
  **Destructive · Writes data · Calls external systems.** This tool can modify or delete data. Review the arguments before letting an agent call it.
</Warning>

## Parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `agent` | string | Yes | Agent hostname or UUID (from list_agents) |
| `confirm` | boolean | Yes | Must be true to execute. Without confirm=true, returns a preview. |
| `slot_id` | number | No | Specific SIM slot ID to reboot (cellular only, from get_agent slots) |
| `type` | string (cellular \| ethernet \| smartphone) | No | Agent type. Only needed to narrow the lookup; a hostname resolves its own type. |

## Example arguments

Illustrative arguments an agent supplies when calling this tool:

```json
{
  "agent": "string",
  "confirm": false
}
```

## Description

```text
Requires confirm=true to execute. Without it, returns a preview of what will be rebooted.

Identify the agent with either of its identifiers — the hostname list_agents shows, or its UUID. Use get_agent to see slot IDs for slot-level reboot.
```
