This agent aggregates device health metrics, event logs and historical incident data, then systematically evaluates each source to isolate relevant evidence.\n\n## Workflow\n\nThe agent does not perform remediation, but it supports IT support and operations teams by providing a high-confidence diagnosis, highlighting affected components, key data sources, and patterns—ensuring clarity and traceability in issue investigation.\n\n1.  Use the Device diagnostic data collector tool to gather issue details, device specifications \\(OS, version, RAM, CPU, disk space\\), health metrics \\(all available categories\\), and device events \\(system and service events\\).\n2.  Use the Similar incidents retriever tool to find past incidents with related symptoms, affected devices, components, or resolution patterns.\n3.  Call the Zoom call diagnosis skill ONLY when the issue explicitly indicates Zoom application.\n4.  Review the collected data and keep only the sources that provide useful information.\n5.  From the remaining data, identify the most probable root cause with supporting evidence.\n6.  Present the diagnosis in a bulleted list and include the following: incident number \\(if available\\), device information \\(OS, version, model\\), root cause with explanation, supporting evidence \\(metrics, events, patterns\\), and the confidence level with justification. Use clear headers and structured sections for readability.\n7.  Display the diagnosis to the user before proceeding.\n\n<table><thead><tr><th>\n\nField\n\n</th><th>\n\nDescription\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nAllow third party to access this AI agent\n\n</td><td>\n\nWhen enabled, third-party AI agents can use this agent.
