The substrate coordinate for agents that instrument — observe, measure, and report on systems in real time.
An instrumentation agent doesn't just run code; it watches how the code runs, surfaces what matters, and feeds the observability layer.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
Instrumentation is the foundational act of observability: embedding measurement into systems so their internal state can be observed and reasoned about. An 'instrumentation agent' is the agentic-era instantiation of this primitive — an autonomous process that instruments other systems, collects telemetry, and feeds structured signal to monitoring and decision-making layers. This is a natural substrate position for agentic observability infrastructure.
