 To test a route as an authenticated user, use the `createAuthenticatedAgent` function:
 ```typescript
-const agent = await createAuthenticatedAgent(server);
+const { agent } = await createAuthenticatedAgent(server);
 const res = await agent.get('/api/auth/authenticated');
 ```
 Agents allow maintaining a session between multiple requests.
