Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
audit_trail_user_activityC

Retrieve Automox audit trail events performed by a user on a specific date.

audit_events_ocsfA

Query OCSF-formatted audit events from the Automox Audit Service v2. Supports filtering by date, event category (authentication, account_change, entity_management, user_access, web_resource_activity), and event type name. Uses cursor-based pagination for large result sets. Permissions: as of 2025-10-27 the upstream endpoint requires the API key to have BOTH organization:manage and users:read scopes; keys missing either scope return 403.

list_devicesA

List devices with detailed per-device information including hostname, OS, policy status, and patch status. Use this to explore and investigate specific devices, optionally filtered by management/policy status. For aggregate statistics and health metrics, use device_health_metrics instead.

device_detailC

Return detailed information and recent activity for a device.

devices_needing_attentionC

Surface Automox devices flagged for immediate action.

search_devicesA

Search Automox devices by hostname (including custom name), IP, tag, severity of missing patches, or patch status (only 'missing' is supported).

device_health_metricsA

Aggregate organization-wide device health statistics including managed/unmanaged breakdown, device status breakdown, compliance metrics, and check-in recency analysis. Use this for monitoring dashboards and getting a fleet-wide health overview.

get_device_inventoryA

Retrieve detailed device inventory data including hardware, network, security, services, system, and user information. Optionally filter by category. Uses the Console API device-details endpoint.

get_device_inventory_categoriesA

List available inventory categories for a device. Categories are dynamic per device. Use this to discover what inventory data is available before requesting specific categories.

execute_device_commandC

Issue an immediate command to a device (scan, patch, or reboot).

batch_update_devicesA

Apply bulk attribute actions to many devices at once (up to 500). Currently supports tag apply/remove via actions like {'attribute': 'tags', 'action': 'apply', 'value': ['env:prod']}.

update_deviceA

Update a single device's mutable attributes: custom_name, server_group_id, exception (policy-enforcement exclusion), tags, and ip_addrs. Fills the single-device gap that batch_update_devices (tags-only, bulk) does not cover — e.g. renaming a device or moving it to a server group. Supply only the fields you want to change; at least one is required.

list_saved_searchesB

List saved device searches from the Advanced Device Search API. Returns saved search names, queries, and metadata.

advanced_device_searchA

Execute an advanced device search using the Automox Advanced Device Search API's structured query language. Enables complex queries like 'find all Windows devices not seen in 30 days' or 'devices with nginx installed' using field-based filtering. Pass query as a dict with a filters list of AND/OR groups, each a list of conditions: {"filters": [{"AND": [{"scope": "SOFTWARE", "field": "pkgDisplayName", "operator": "IN", "values": ["nginx"]}]}]}. Use get_searchable_fields for valid scope/field/operator combos and device_search_typeahead to discover values. The org is scoped automatically. limit sets the page size.

device_search_typeaheadA

Get typeahead suggestions for device search fields. Useful for discovering valid values when building advanced device queries.

get_device_metadata_fieldsA

Get available fields for device queries. Returns the field names and types supported by the advanced device search API.

get_device_assignmentsC

Get device-to-policy and device-to-group assignments.

get_device_by_uuidA

Get device details by UUID using the Server Groups API v2. Provides device information via UUID-based lookup.

get_saved_searchB

Retrieve a single saved device search by ID. Returns the saved search name, description, query, and metadata.

get_saved_search_resultsA

Execute a saved device search and retrieve its current device result set. Supports pagination via page + limit.

get_cached_search_resultsA

Retrieve cached server-side results for a previously-executed device search, keyed by search execution ID. Distinct from get_saved_search_results which re-executes a saved-search definition.

get_search_scopesA

List available device-search scope options. Org-independent metadata describing the scopes (e.g., device, group, org) supported by the Advanced Device Search API.

get_searchable_fieldsA

List searchable device fields grouped by scope, with per-field type metadata. Richer than get_device_metadata_fields (a flat field-name array) — use this to construct typed advanced-search queries.

list_searches_for_deviceA

List the saved device searches whose result set currently contains a given device (by UUID). Triage primitive: 'which saved searches does this device match?' Optionally filter by saved-search type.

run_saved_searchA

Execute a saved device search by UUID and return its device results, with paging (page/size) and an optional fields projection. Lighter-weight than get_saved_search_results when you only need a subset of fields.

create_saved_searchA

Create a new saved device search. Provide a name, a structured query dict carrying a filters list (same syntax as advanced_device_search — e.g. {"filters": [{"AND": [{"scope": "SOFTWARE", "field": "pkgDisplayName", "operator": "IN", "values": ["nginx"]}]}]}), and an optional description. The org is scoped automatically.

update_saved_searchA

Update an existing saved device search (partial update). Provide at least one of name, query, or description. The query dict uses the Automox Advanced Device Search API query syntax (see advanced_device_search).

delete_saved_searchB

Permanently delete a saved device search by ID.

assign_policies_to_saved_searchB

Bulk-assign one or more policies to the result set of a saved device search. Takes the saved-search UUID and a list of policy IDs.

refresh_saved_search_cacheA

Force a re-cache of a saved device search's results when they may be stale. Triggers server-side recomputation; returns once queued.

policy_health_overviewC

Summarize recent Automox policy activity.

policy_execution_timelineC

list_devices_for_policiesA

List the devices currently targeted by one or more policies (by policy UUID) — blast-radius assessment before executing or changing a policy. Read-only.

decide_patch_approvalB

Approve or reject an Automox patch approval request.

delete_policyB

Permanently delete an Automox policy by ID.

clone_policyA

Clone an existing Automox policy. By default creates an in-org copy with an optional new name and server group assignments.

apply_policy_changesB

Create or update Automox policies with automatic format correction.

execute_policy_nowB

Execute an Automox policy immediately for remediation (all devices or specific device).

policy_runs_v2A

List policy runs with time-range filtering, policy name/type filters, and result status filtering. Uses the Policy History v2 API for richer data than the standard policy execution timeline.

policy_run_countB

Get aggregate policy execution counts. Optionally filter by number of days to look back.

policy_runs_by_policyA

Get policy runs grouped by policy for cross-policy comparison. Shows which policies have been running and their aggregate results.
