Overnight failures
The data lead asks what broke overnight. Memtro finds two failed runs of the nightly ETL, reads their last log lines and reports a timeout reaching the Northwind warehouse at 02:14.
Ask why a Prefect flow run failed, and what runs on a schedule tonight.
Connect Prefect with an API key or your server's auth string and Memtro reads flows, flow runs with their state and logs, deployments with schedules, work pools and automations. Leave the host blank for Prefect Cloud or name your own Prefect 3 server. Parameters and variable values are never read back. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted them by name, it can run a deployment or retry a failed run, which executes the flow on your infrastructure, cancel or resume runs, manage schedules, variables, work pools and automations, and permanently delete deployments, flows and runs.
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Prefect tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
These tools change something in Prefect. 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.
Once Prefect 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.

Retry last night's failed backfill-orders run
The data lead asks what broke overnight. Memtro finds two failed runs of the nightly ETL, reads their last log lines and reports a timeout reaching the Northwind warehouse at 02:14.
Dan Fletcher asks Memtro to retry the failed Acme invoice export after a fix. Memtro sets the run back to scheduled, Prefect accepts it, and a worker executes the flow again on the team's own infrastructure.
The teams that lean on Prefect most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.
A record in Prefect 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.
Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.
Self-hosted servers must be Prefect 3 over https. Prefect Cloud service accounts need a Pro or Enterprise plan. On Cloud open Account menu → API keys → +, as a dedicated user with only the workspace role it needs for what Memtro may run and change
Leave Host blank for Prefect Cloud and give the Account ID and Workspace ID from the browser address. Self-hosted, type your host only: a public DNS name with a publicly trusted certificate, no https://
Paste the key, or the self-hosted server's auth string, into API key or auth string in Connections → Prefect in Memtro
Ask what failed overnight
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Prefect tools are the same everywhere.
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: run a deployment (schedules a flow run on your infrastructure); cancel a flow run; create a variable; update a variable's value or tags; delete a variable; pause a deployment's schedule (deletes its waiting scheduled runs); resume a deployment's schedule (schedules runs immediately); delete a deployment; delete a flow; retry a failed or crashed flow run (runs it again on your infrastructure); resume a paused flow run; rename or retag a flow run; delete a flow run and its logs; update a deployment's description, version, tags, parameters, work pool or queue, or concurrency limit; add a schedule to a deployment; change, activate or deactivate a deployment schedule; delete a deployment schedule; pause or unpause a work pool, or change its description or concurrency limit; create a work pool; create a work queue in a work pool; create a global concurrency limit; publish a markdown artifact; turn an automation on or off. 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.
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.
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.
Host, and an API key or auth string. Self-hosted servers must be Prefect 3 over https. Prefect Cloud service accounts need a Pro or Enterprise plan. On Cloud open Account menu → API keys → +, as a dedicated user with only the workspace role it needs for what Memtro may run and change.
