Description

Runs inside a guest virtual machine to let the host query or coordinate guest actions through QEMU. It helps management tools handle shutdowns, filesystem freeze operations, IP address reporting, and other guest-aware tasks.

Install it inside trusted guests when host integration is needed. The agent creates a control channel between host and guest, so enable only the commands and access paths your environment requires.

How to run
