gns3-lab

gns3-lab is a command for Claude Code from Olaw2jr/gns3-mcp. It costs 16 tokens per session (260 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that builds or changes a GNS3 network lab from a plain-language description. GNS3 is a tool for creating virtual network topologies and testing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create projects, add and connect virtual devices, configure them through consoles, test connectivity, and summarize the resulting topology.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work of creating devices, connecting ports, starting the lab, and checking whether devices can reach each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gns3-lab scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are working with a GNS3 v3 controller through the gns3 MCP server.

Goal: $ARGUMENTS

Follow this workflow:

  1. Call gns3_version to confirm connectivity, then templates_list to see available device templates and computes_list for available compute servers.
  2. Create a project with project_create and open it with project_open (or reuse an existing one from projects_list).
  3. Add nodes with node_create_from_template, laying them out on the canvas with sensible x/y spacing. Use node_get to read each node's ports.
  4. Connect ports with link_create (adapter_number/port_number from the ports list).
  5. Start the lab with nodes_start_all, then verify reachability with node_console_send (e.g. configure IPs with node_console_session, then ping).
  6. Summarize the final topology using the gns3://project/<id>/topology resource.

Before any risky change, take a snapshot_create. Confirm destructive actions explicitly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
