catc-troubleshoot

catc-troubleshoot is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 74 tokens per session (7,241 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A troubleshooting workflow for Cisco Catalyst Center, a system used to manage and monitor network devices and clients. It investigates unreachable devices, connection complaints, interface failures, outages, and wireless roaming problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for help-desk escalations, NOC alerts, site-wide outages, wired or wireless connectivity issues, interface-down cases, and post-change checks.
Why use it?
It structures the investigation around the affected users, devices, locations, and timing instead of treating every connectivity report the same way.

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-troubleshoot 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 12d 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 Troubleshooting Workflows

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

  • Help desk escalation: user reports "I can't connect"
  • NOC alert: device unreachable in Catalyst Center
  • Client connectivity complaints (wired or wireless)
  • Site-wide outage affecting multiple users
  • Wireless roaming issues or poor signal complaints
  • Interface down investigations
  • Post-change verification when something goes wrong
  • Correlation between Catalyst Center data and live device state via pyATS

Troubleshooting Principles

  1. Define the problem -- What exactly is reported? Single user, multiple users, entire site? Wired or wireless? When did it start?
  2. Scope the impact -- Use Catalyst Center client counts and device reachability to quantify: how many clients affected? How many devices unreachable?
  3. Gather data from the controller -- Catalyst Center provides a controller-level view that covers hundreds of devices simultaneously. Start here.
  4. Correlate with live device state -- When Catalyst Center data is stale or insufficient, escalate to pyATS for real-time CLI data.
  5. Isolate the fault domain -- Is it the client, the access layer, the distribution/core, or a WAN/upstream issue?
  6. Resolve and verify -- Fix the issue, confirm via both Catalyst Center and pyATS, document.

Issue 1: Device Unreachable

Trigger: Catalyst Center shows one or more devices with reachabilityStatus: Unreachable.

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.
