Automox + Memtro

Which devices are missing critical patches, and which need a reboot?

Automox connects Memtro to your endpoint patching. It reads devices with OS, agent, compliance, pending patches and next patch window, a device's missing patches with severity and CVEs, policies with their compliance counts, devices needing attention, the event log, manual approvals and device groups. When asked, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can scan a device, reboot it, install named patches or all updates, run a policy on one device, approve or reject a patch, and move, rename or mark a device as an exception. IP addresses, serial numbers and logged-in users are never returned.

In Memtro

What you can do with Automox in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Automox tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Lists devices with OS and version, agent version, group, connection, compliance, pending patch count, reboot needed, last check-in and next patch window
  2. 02Lists the missing patches on one device with version, severity, CVEs and whether a reboot is needed
  3. 03Lists policies with how many devices are compliant, non-compliant or pending, and the devices needing attention by severity
  4. 04Reads the event log between two days, patch approvals waiting for a decision, and device groups with device counts and policies
  5. 05When asked and granted, scans a device, reboots it now, which interrupts whoever is using it, installs named patches or every available update, or runs a policy on one device, any of which may restart the machine
  6. 06When asked and granted, approves a patch, which releases it to every device under its policy at the next run, or rejects it, and moves a device to another group, renames it or marks it an exception

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Automox. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Scan a device now (refreshes its inventory and patch list)
  2. 02Reboot a device now (interrupts whoever is using it)
  3. 03Install named patches on a device now
  4. 04Install all available updates on a device now (ignores policy filters)
  5. 05Run a policy now on one device
  6. 06Approve or reject a patch waiting for manual approval
  7. 07Move a device to another group, rename it, or mark it an exception

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Automox for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Automox signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Automox is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

01

Monday patch review

Tom Reilly, IT manager at Acme Ltd, asked which devices needed attention. Memtro listed the non-compliant counts by severity and named the devices with critical patches missing, noting which were offline and which needed a reboot.

02

Releasing a held patch

Priya Sharma, systems administrator at Northwind, asked Memtro to approve the browser update waiting for manual approval. Memtro approved it in Automox, which released it to every device under that policy at the next run.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Automox most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Automox is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in Engineering and operations

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withAPI key and Organisation ID
  1. 1

    In the Automox console, open Settings → Keys and create a key for a dedicated user. The key acts with its user's permissions, so make that user read-only unless Memtro should act.

  2. 2

    Copy the key, and note your numeric organisation id from the console URL.

  3. 3

    In Memtro, open Connections → Automox and paste them into API key and Organisation ID.

  4. 4

    Ask your first question: which devices are missing critical patches?

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Automox tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Automox?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: scan a device now (refreshes its inventory and patch list); reboot a device now (interrupts whoever is using it); install named patches on a device now; install all available updates on a device now (ignores policy filters); run a policy now on one device; approve or reject a patch waiting for manual approval; move a device to another group, rename it, or mark it an exception. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Automox connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Automox data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Automox?+

API key and Organisation ID. In the Automox console, open Settings → Keys and create a key for a dedicated user. The key acts with its user's permissions, so make that user read-only unless Memtro should act.

Can Automox start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Automox for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
