Introducing the Automation Engineer Agent
You have a brilliant idea for a custom automation or a new action for your AgentiX agent or playbook, but the script you need isn't in the script library. The thought of writing that specialized script from scratch? It's a momentum killer. Too often, you abandon the idea and resort to doing manual, expedient workarounds.
Does this sound familiar?
When building effective security automation, security analysts often face three critical roadblocks:
- The time sink of scripting: creating custom scripts is time-consuming. Analysts often have to write code from scratch, troubleshoot syntax errors, and constantly update logic.
- The skill barrier: Not every security analyst is a coding expert. Relying on specialized developers or demanding complex coding knowledge from analysts creates a skill gap that stalls automation initiatives.
The AgentiX Solution: Natural Language-to-Script in Seconds
We are thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking feature within Cortex AgentiX that transforms how your security team builds automation: the AgentiX Automation Engineer!
This feature leverages advanced large language models (LLMs) to enable security automation engineers to generate functional code and scripts with simple, natural-language prompts.
Simply tell AgentiX what you need, and the code appears.
Example Prompt: Generate a script that changes the verdict of the given indicator based on user input, adds doc notes, and debug messages.
Within moments, AgentiX generates the necessary script, ready for use by your agent or playbook.
How This Changes the Game for Your Security Team
AgentiX delivers immediate, measurable value by addressing the core pain points:
- Drastically shortened automation creation lifecycle: Analysts can move from idea to deployment in minutes, not hours or days. This accelerates your ability to respond to emerging threats or build agents with new, precise automation.
- Eliminating the coding barrier: You no longer need to be a Python guru to build complex automation. If you can describe the task, AgentiX can generate the code, making sophisticated automation accessible to a broader range of security professionals.
- Improved consistency and reliability: Our Automation Engineer is optimized for the Cortex environment, taking into account the tool integrations you have, to help generate reliable and clean scripts that integrate seamlessly into the AgentiX platform. You do not have to pivot to an external tool to generate code and then try to import it into the system. Everything can be done in a seamless, single flow: build an agent, need a script, use a prompt to generate a script, and add it as an action to the agent. It’s as simple as that.
Beyond the Script: Fueling AI Agents and Playbooks
The generated script is just the beginning. The true power lies in how it seamlessly integrates into the AgentiX ecosystem:
- Generate: A security engineer uses a natural language prompt to generate the required script (e.g., an endpoint isolation script).
- Convert to Action: The script is instantly packaged as a reusable action within the AgentiX platform.
- Deploy: Add this new action to your agents to broaden their functionality and provide them with an infinitely extensible toolkit. It can also be used to add new tasks to playbooks.

This functionality turns Cortex AgentiX into a truly dynamic automation platform, giving your security team the power to quickly codify any manual task and turn it into instant, scalable automation.
