## What it does

The Celigo on-premise agent runs as a background service on a local Windows or Linux host. It opens an outbound connection to `integrator.io`, giving cloud integrations access to private databases, file shares, and internal APIs without inbound firewall rules. This skill distinguishes connectivity agents (`/agents`) from compute stacks and AI agents. It keeps integration roles separate.

Management runs through the CLI or the `/v1/agents` REST API, while connections bind to the daemon via `_agentId`. Standard GET responses do not return the pairing access token, so fetching it requires the `display-token` endpoint. Oracle connections require an agent permanently. Any stopped service halts dependent flows with an `agent_not_running` status.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-on-premise-agents -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-on-premise-agents -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-on-premise-agents -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install celigo/ai managing-on-premise-agents
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-on-premise-agents -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/celigo/ai --path skills/managing-on-premise-agents
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-on-premise-agents -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/celigo/ai/tree/HEAD/skills/managing-on-premise-agents/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- connect private databases or network file shares to `integrator.io`
- attach an on-premise daemon to connections using `_agentId`
- rotate agent access tokens through the CLI or API
- diagnose integration failures triggered by `agent_not_running` errors

## Example prompts
- How do I route a private PostgreSQL connection through a Celigo on-premise agent?
- Explain how to rotate the access token for an agent using the Celigo CLI.
- Troubleshoot flow failures caused by an offline agent status.

description: Manage Celigo on-premise agents -- lightweight software you install on a host inside your own network that opens a secure OUTBOUND tunnel to integrator.io, letting the platform reach private systems (on-prem databases, file shares, internal apps) without opening inbound firewall ports. An on-premise agent is a connectivity resource on the `/agents` page -- not a stack (compute) and not an AI agent (LLM processing). Use when connecting to a system behind a firewall, installing or pairing an agent, rotating its access token, or diagnosing agent-offline flow failures.

# Managing On-Premise Agents

An on-premise agent is a **secure tunnel between your own network and integrator.io**. You install a small piece of Celigo software on a Windows or Linux host *inside* your network; it dials **outbound** to integrator.io and holds the connection open so the platform can send work back through it. Because the agent reaches out to Celigo, you open **no inbound** firewall ports for it; a network that restricts outbound traffic only has to let the agent host reach Celigo (see Gotcha 2).

There are two things sharing the name -- keep them apart:

- **The installed software** -- the agent daemon running on a host inside your network. It maintains the tunnel and does the reaching.
- **The `/agents` resource** -- the *registration* of that daemon in integrator.io: a `name`, `description`, and pairing/health metadata. This is what you manage via the API and CLI.

Concerns when managing an on-premise agent:

- **Reachability** -- giving Celigo a path to systems that have no public endpoint (private DBs, file shares, internal apps)
- **Pairing** -- installing the software and configuring it with the agent's access token to bring the tunnel up
- **Health** -- heartbeats determine `offline`; a stopped host or service breaks every connection routed through the agent
- **Token lifecycle** -- rotating the sensitive access token (which authorizes a tunnel into your network) on exposure or on schedule

Referenced by connections via `_agentId`.

The agent resource is read and managed with the CLI, the REST API (`/v1/agents`) or the UI; no MCP tool reads it, and its id isn't an AI agent's, so don't look it up among AI agents. Over MCP, the connections that carry its `_agentId`, their `offline` flag, and the `agent_not_running` errors on their flows say what you need to know.

## On-Premise Agent vs Stack vs AI Agent

The word "agent" is overloaded in Celigo. An on-premise agent is **none** of the others:

| Term | What it is | About |
|---|---|---|
| **On-premise agent** (`/agents`) | Network tunnel daemon installed inside your network | **Connectivity** -- reach private systems behind your firewall |
