What can I automate with SSH in Sim?

You can execute command, execute script, check command exists, upload file, and download file with SSH in Sim, plus 8 more SSH tools listed on this page. Each runs as a tool inside an AI agent, so the agent can combine SSH with any other connected service and apply LLM reasoning between steps.

How do I connect SSH to Sim?

(1) Create a free account at sim.ai. (2) Create an agent in your workspace. (3) Drag a SSH block onto the workflow builder. (4) Paste your SSH API key to authenticate. (5) Pick a tool such as "Execute Command", wire up its inputs, and click Run.

How do I execute command with SSH in Sim?

Add a SSH block to your agent and select "Execute Command" as the tool. Execute a shell command on a remote SSH server. Fill in the required fields. Inputs can reference outputs from earlier steps, such as text generated by an AI block or data fetched from another integration.
