[PubQ] Question about an agent rejection

I just received this lovely rejection letter on QueryTracker about my book A DANCE OF FIRE. Is the agent saying she is sending my query along to the other agents she mentioned (I removed their names) or is she suggesting I query them on my own?

Dear Coral,

Thank you tenfold for the honor of looking over your query materials. I'm so sorry to deliver the awful news that A DANCE OF FIRE is not a fit for me at the moment, so I'll have to pass.

While this is a form template, I did find your query excellent and marvelous. So even if I cannot take it on, I've pitched it to some of my friends. Name at Agency (https://querytracker.net/query/Name/Referrals), Name at Agency (https://querytracker.net/query/Name/AgentReferral), and my colleague Name (https://querytracker.net/query/Name) would love to see this in their inboxes!

Please keep at this—querying, writing, creating! My opinion is only subjective, at the end of the day. I'm wishing you the bestest of luck in your publishing endeavors.
