thanks for the report @andresfromsonar 👍

hopefully this will make it clearer that the “ai agent” node requires using an enabled “agent/bot”

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/44269>
>
> Previously, the AI agent's global "Enabled?" toggle sat inside the "AI bot optio…ns" section, so admins read it as a bot-only setting, and the Workflows AI Agent node silently hid disabled agents, leaving people unable to find the agent they wanted without any explanation (reported on \[meta\](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-workflows/407100/61)).
> 
> This change moves the toggle into a status switch at the top of the agent editor, lists disabled agents in the workflow picker with a "Disabled" badge (in the dropdown and the selected value), and shows a live warning when the selected agent is disabled, since the step will fail at run time. It also turns priority into a regular checkbox labelled "Show first in agent lists", groups the "Allow …" options together, and explains that saving with mentions or chat DMs allowed creates the agent's user.
