# NexaFabric Node Agent The node agent is optional. NexaFabric works through the Proxmox API without it. Planned agent responsibilities: - Read nftables status. - Report node network health. - Apply explicitly approved rule bundles. - Authenticate with token or mTLS. - Expose a health check. The current repository includes the service file and install script skeleton so packaging can be added without changing the control-plane architecture.
