An agent is an element of an agency (.tgt) file. In simplest terms an agent is a site (see sites data (.tsd)) with many more dimensions/parameters and therefor, more capabilities. Most commonly, agents are used to represent an object at a point in four-dimensional space with additional information such as a form, orientation at that point, size, color, etc.

Describe some of the capabilities of an agent.
