if it's _truly_ agent-less why do they care about the python version on the target, I feel that python target code is the agent? I might be missing something.

Tried it a while ago, interested in developing tower-like management software(light-weight) using javascript as Tower is a bit too pricey for small/mid-sized customers.

- ausjke 10y agoyes that's what I used as my target is a resource-restricted router that does not have space for any python, that's the only occasion you can call it agent-less, but most people are not using that mode.

"Agentless" means that it works by pushing to the machine and that there isn't an agent process already running on the target. It doesn't mean that there aren't any requirements on what needs to be installed on the target already.
