catc-client-ops

catc-client-ops is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 75 tokens per session (6,182 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A client-monitoring skill for Cisco Catalyst Center, a system that manages network devices and connections. It finds wired and wireless devices and shows their connection details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a device by MAC address or IP address, count connected devices, inspect wireless signal details, and analyze Wi-Fi use by site, SSID, band, time, or operating system.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching network records when a user’s device cannot connect or when you need to understand network use. It also helps compare client counts over time and across locations, Wi-Fi names, or radio bands.

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

catc-client-ops 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 8d 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.

Catalyst Center Client Operations and Monitoring

Catalyst Center MCP Server

All Catalyst Center tool calls use this invocation pattern:

CCC_HOST=$CCC_HOST CCC_USER=$CCC_USER CCC_PWD=$CCC_PWD python3 -u $CATC_MCP_SCRIPT

Variable shorthand used throughout this document:

CATC_CMD="CCC_HOST=$CCC_HOST CCC_USER=$CCC_USER CCC_PWD=$CCC_PWD python3 -u $CATC_MCP_SCRIPT"

How to Call Tools

Use the $MCP_CALL protocol handler to invoke MCP tools:

CCC_HOST=$CCC_HOST CCC_USER=$CCC_USER CCC_PWD=$CCC_PWD python3 $MCP_CALL "python3 -u $CATC_MCP_SCRIPT" TOOL_NAME 'ARGS_JSON'

When to Use

  • Monitoring wired and wireless client populations
  • Investigating specific client connectivity issues by MAC address
  • Capacity planning: how many clients per site, SSID, or band
  • Wireless troubleshooting: signal quality, RSSI, band steering analysis
  • Time-based analysis: client count trends over hours/days
  • Security investigations: locate a client by IP or MAC across the network
  • Help desk escalations: look up a user's device and connection details
  • SSID utilization and OS distribution analytics

Critical: Time Range Handling

The Catalyst Center client APIs require startTime and endTime in epoch milliseconds. The API enforces a 30-day maximum lookback for startTime.

ALWAYS call get_api_compatible_time_range FIRST to convert human-readable time ranges into valid epoch millisecond pairs before calling any client tool.

get_api_compatible_time_range -- Convert Time Ranges

Parameters:

  • time_window (string, optional): Human-readable relative time. Examples: "last 2 hours", "last 7 days", "today", "yesterday", "last 30 days". Takes precedence over ISO params if provided.
  • start_datetime_iso (string, optional): Specific start in ISO 8601 format (e.g., "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z")
  • end_datetime_iso (string, optional): Specific end in ISO 8601 format. Defaults to now if omitted.

Returns: JSON with startTime and endTime (epoch ms), adjusted_for_30_day_limit flag, and ISO timestamps for verification.

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.
