# pauseAgent

Pause the agent by clearing all protocols. This sets the user's protocols to an empty array, effectively pausing automated operations. Requires SIWE authentication.

## Signature

```typescript theme={null}
pauseAgent(): Promise<UpdateUserProfileResponse>
```

## Returns

Response indicating success and updated user details

## Return Type

```typescript theme={null}
interface UpdateUserProfileResponse {
  success: boolean;
  userId: string;
  smartWallet?: Address;
  chains?: number[];
  strategy?: string;
  protocols?: string[];
  autoSelectProtocols?: boolean;
  omniAccount?: boolean;
  autocompounding?: boolean;
  agentName?: string;
  crosschainStrategy?: boolean;
  executorProxy?: boolean;
  splitting?: boolean;
  minSplits?: number;
  customization?: Record<string, any>;
}
```

## Example

```typescript theme={null}
await sdk.connectAccount(privateKey, chainId);

// Pause the agent
const result = await sdk.pauseAgent();
console.log("Agent paused:", result.success);

// Verify the agent is paused
const userDetails = await sdk.getUserDetails();
console.log("Active protocols:", userDetails.protocols?.length); // Should be 0
```

## Notes

* User must be authenticated (automatically done via `connectAccount()`)
* This sets the user's protocols to an empty array
* To resume operations, call `resumeAgent()`
* The agent will not perform automated yield optimization while paused
