Liongard ConnectWise Automate Read

Runs as: Skill — you run it in Super Magic and confirm each write; there’s no Flow trigger for this one. Connectors: Liongard Role: Technician Outcome: Faster Resolution & Response, Risk & Compliance When to use: “What computers does Automate manage at <client>?”, “which agents haven’t checked in?”, “are machines patched?” during triage, reconciling Automate count against AD/security-tool counts, or “did a monitor or patch policy change?”. Run it: on one client — name the client and the Automate question.

Read ConnectWise Automate (LabTech) state for CLIENT_NAME from the Liongard Automate inspector. Read-only — this never runs scripts, deploys software, or changes Automate policy.

1. Resolve the client's environment, then find the ConnectWise Automate / LabTech inspector and confirm it ran recently — carry "as of <timestamp>." Agent status changes constantly, so an old data read on an active incident deserves a "verify live" caveat.
2. Read the values from its latest dataprint for the angle you need, verifying every field angle against the live dataprint (schemas vary by inspector version):
   - Inventory: computer list with OS and last-contact — group by location.
   - Offline agents: computers whose last-contact exceeds a threshold.
   - Patch state: machines with missing/failed patches.
   - Monitors: monitors in a failed/alerting state.
3. "What changed?" → check what changed on the Automate side: agent adds/removes, monitor/policy changes — ordered against the incident window.
4. Sanity-check surprising zeros (zero computers) — usually a wrong field angle or partial inspection; re-probe broadly. Absence of an agent in Automate is a coverage lead, not proof a machine is unmanaged — reconcile against AD/AV counts and verify before asserting.
5. Output: a compact table, source + data age line, flags (offline agents, patch laggards, coverage gaps). Offer to leave a plain-text note. Degradation: no Automate inspector → documentation → ticket history → "verify in console."
