# View an agent with the Bolna CLI

> Use the bolna agents view command to fetch an agent's full config, including welcome message and system prompt, by ID.

Retrieve full configuration for a single agent by ID. Returns name, status, welcome message, and system prompt, with the prompt rendered as Markdown. Maps to the `get_agent` MCP tool.

## Syntax

```bash theme={"system"}
bolna agents view <agent-id> [flags]
```

```

<Tip>
  Not sure of the agent ID? Run [`bolna agents list`](/docs/cli/commands/agents-list) first, or open the [dashboard](/docs/cli/dashboard/overview) and press `:` to fuzzy-search by name.
