Hello everyone,

I am using the Kibana API to output the list of agent for auditing purposes. Is there a built-in way to output the list of agents in CSV format instead of JSON? Below is the current API call I am using.

curl --location --request GET '[https://kibana/api/fleet/agents?perPage=500](https://kibana/api/fleet/agents?perPage=500)'

Thank you!
