First of all Ansible has an Agentless architecture. They do not need any agent at the remote managed device. With this arhitecture, many Cisco devices support Ansible. Chef has an Agent Based Architecture while Puppet has both of them.

If no additional software can be installed, then A&C are the only possible options. SaltStack has a hybrid mode, where an agent isn't required.
