How an agent uses it

  1. It ships built in SSH is part of OpenAlly on supported devices, so you do not have to wire it into every request.
  2. Choose who can use it Give it only to the agents that need the job, and take it back whenever you want.
  3. Ask in ordinary language The agent uses the tool when it helps, then brings the result back into your conversation.

Keeps the job focused

SSH is already available on supported devices. You choose which agents can use it, without repeating setup instructions in every conversation.

What it's for

Check a service on your server, fetch a log file, or upload an updated file from OpenAlly on Android or Mac.

What it can help with

  • Run a command on a server you have connected, subject to your approval settings.

  • Download files from your server or upload files to it.

Needs setting up first

On Android, OpenAlly asks before downloading the SSH support. Then add your server in SSH Servers and trust its host fingerprint. Each command is shown to you to approve unless you say otherwise.

Where it stops

Available on Android and Mac. The server must be reachable, and your server account determines which commands and files it can access.
