VSTS Hosted agents state

I am wondering how VSTS hosted agents provisioning works in terms of state. Does a hosted agent get reassigned from one job to another without being 'snapshotted' back to a 'clean' state? Or does it carry around the remnants from previous builds?

Thanks

There won't has any data 'leakage' between different subscriptions to use Hosted agent, even you build the same build definition for twice, you can not get any data from first build to second build.

That's why Clean option is not relevant when you use Hosted agent, and you can find Clean the local repo on the agent section:

Note

Cleaning is not relevant if you are using a hosted agent because you get a new agent every time in that case.

Hosted agents are single-use only. They are not reused between builds.
