My employer had us install a software called “fleet osquery”, they said it’s a first step toward inventory management of all the devices for IT. I guess it also adds a layer of safety by making sure nobody installs any dangerous software/malware on their work devices.

Looking at the docs , it looks like this can be used to remotely execute scripts on my laptop, should I be worried about my employer spying on me during work hours ? Or logging information about what I’m doing ?

    This is the correct answer. Assuming it’s a work owned device, the answer to “can they monitor me?” is always yes.

    However, unless you’re constantly tripping their automated alarms, or management has come to them with a productivity issue about you, they’re not gonna do much.
