-## Asynchronous reporting

-## API
-
-Each method (except checkConnect) returns an object in a specific format:
-```javascript
-{
-    tempId: '4ds43fs', // generated by the client id for further work with the created item
-    promise: Promise // An object indicating the completion of an operation
-}
-```
-The client works synchronously, so it is not necessary to wait for the end of the previous requests to send following ones.

-### Timeout (30000ms) on axios requests
+#### Timeout (30000ms) on axios requests
 
 There is a timeout on axios requests. If for instance the server your making a request to is taking too long to load, then axios timeout will work and you will see the error 'Error: timeout of 30000ms exceeded'.
 
 You can simply change this timeout by adding a `timeout` property to `restClientConfig` with your desired numeric value (in _ms_) or *0* to disable it.
 
-### Retry configuration
+#### Debug
+
+Use `debug: true` for debugging.
+
+#### Agent
+
+Use `agent` property to provide [http(s)](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_url_options_callback) agent options.
+Use this property in case the direct `httpAgent/httpsAgent` instance property cannot be used due to config serializations.
+
+#### Retry configuration
 
 The client retries failed HTTP calls up to 6 times with an exponential backoff (starting at 200 ms and capping at 5 s) and resets the axios timeout before each retry. Provide a `retry` option in `restClientConfig` to change that behaviour. The value can be either a number (overriding just the retry count) or a full [`axios-retry` configuration object](https://github.com/softonic/axios-retry#options):

-#### How proxy handling works
+##### How proxy handling works
 
 1. **Per-request proxy decision:** Each request (API or OAuth) determines its proxy configuration based on the target URL
 2. **noProxy checking:** URLs matching `noProxy` patterns bypass the proxy and connect directly
 3. **Default agents for bypassed URLs:** When a URL bypasses proxy, a default HTTP/HTTPS agent is used to prevent automatic proxy detection
 4. **Environment variable support:** `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY` are automatically detected and used if no explicit configuration is provided
 5. **Priority:** Explicit configuration takes precedence over environment variables
