## Introduction

The **Lookup System Info** plugin allows users to retrieve system-level details from **Palo Alto Networks firewalls** directly through the Moveworks AI Assistant. This includes information like hostname, model, serial number, PAN-OS version, and more—helping IT teams quickly verify firewall status without logging into the web UI or CLI.

This guide will help you install this plugin within minutes in Agent Studio. Let’s get started!

## Prerequisites

- Access to **Agent Studio**

## Installation Steps

We recommend creating the connector for [**Palo Alto Networks**](https://developer.moveworks.com/creator-studio/resources/connector?id=palo-alto-networks)  first, prior to installing this plugin. Please follow the Palo Alto Networks Connector Guide to configure the connector.

For the **Lookup System Info** plugin, ensure the user account used in the connector has access to run operational commands (`type=op`) through the XML API.

After the connector is set up, refer to our [plugin installation documentation](https://help.moveworks.com/docs/ai-agent-marketplace-installation) for instructions on how to complete installation in Agent Studio.


## Appendix

**System Info API (PAN-OS XML API)**

This plugin uses the following PAN-OS API to retrieve system-level details:

```bash

curl -k "https://<firewall>/api/?type=op&cmd=<show><system><info></info></system></show>" \
  -H "X-PAN-KEY: <API_KEY>"

```

- `X-PAN-KEY`: Your generated API key from PAN-OS
- `<firewall>`: The hostname or IP address of the target firewall

This call returns key system information in XML format, including:

- Hostname
- Model
- Serial Number
- Software Version
- Uptime
- Management Interface

Ensure the firewall's admin account used by the connector has permission to run this operational command via API.
