Create a helper function to poll for agent deployment readiness

[bbatha]

When a Gradient AI Platform Agent is started it needs to deploy which can take 30s or longer. Currently users must write loops to poll for the agent state, roughly.

import Gradient from '@digitalocean/gradient';

const client = new Gradient();

while (true) {
   const agent = await client.agents.retrieve('123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000');
   if (agent.agent.deployment.status !== "STATUS_RUNNING") {
       continue;
   }
}

This should of course handle failed states for errors and such

Hi @bbatha👋, I’d like to work on this issue for HacktoberFest.

My plan is to add a helper function that waits for the Agent to fully deploy (STATUS_RUNNING) instead of users manually writing polling loops.

I’ll make sure to handle error or failed states properly, include a timeout or delay between checks, and keep the code simple and easy to understand.

Please assign this issue to me. I’m excited to learn and contribute!

Hi @bbatha 👋,

I noticed that #4 was unassigned, so I went ahead and implemented a solution for the agent polling helper.
If this overlaps with someone else’s work or if you’d prefer it handled differently, I’m happy to adjust.

Thanks for reviewing!
