Atera Agents

Atera Agents is a skill for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/msp-claude-plugins. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,591 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions and tools for managing Atera agents, which are small programs installed on computers to report health information and allow remote monitoring and script execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to find endpoint records, check whether computers are online, inspect their details, run PowerShell or other scripts, and manage the agent lifecycle.
Why use it?
They distinguish managed computers from Atera's agentless device monitors and from AI agents, preventing commands or searches from being sent to the wrong kind of target.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 185
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Atera Agents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Atera Agent Management

Overview

Atera agents are lightweight software installed on managed endpoints that provide remote monitoring and management capabilities. Agents report system information, health metrics, and enable remote execution of scripts and commands.

Anti-triggers

  • Atera's own "devices" — an Atera device is an agentless HTTP, SNMP, or TCP monitor with no agent behind it; use atera-devices. Atera is the odd one out: in ncentral-devices, ninjaone-devices, and datto-rmm-devices "device" means the managed endpoint, which here is an agent.
  • Claude subagents — "agent" here is an Atera endpoint sensor, never an AI subagent definition under agents/*.md. In halopsa-agents it is a human technician, and in liongard-overview it is one inspection runner per customer site.
  • Running a script on an endpoint managed by another RMM — "run PowerShell on this machine" matches every RMM in this marketplace equally, and none of them reach Atera's agents. Confirm which RMM the endpoint is enrolled in, then use syncro-assets, superops-runbooks, immybot-script-execution, ncentral-monitoring-tasks, connectwise-automate-scripts, or datto-rmm-jobs.
  • The alert an agent raised — agent records carry health and inventory, not monitoring output; use atera-alerts.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
