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

cml-lab-lifecycle 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.

CML Lab Lifecycle Management

MCP Server

  • Command: cml-mcp (pip-installed, stdio transport)
  • Requires: CML_URL, CML_USERNAME, CML_PASSWORD environment variables
  • Optional: CML_VERIFY_SSL (default: true)

Available Tools

Lab CRUD Operations

Tool Parameters What It Does
create_lab title Create a new empty lab with a title
get_lab lab_id or lab_title Get lab details (state, node count, link count)
get_labs none List all labs on the CML server
start_lab lab_id or lab_title Start all nodes in a lab (boot the topology)
stop_lab lab_id or lab_title Stop all nodes in a lab (graceful shutdown)
wipe_lab lab_id or lab_title Wipe lab node configurations (reset to factory)
delete_lab lab_id or lab_title Delete a lab permanently

Lab Import/Export

Tool Parameters What It Does
import_lab topology (YAML string) Import a lab from CML topology YAML
export_lab lab_id or lab_title Export a lab as CML topology YAML
clone_lab lab_id or lab_title Clone an existing lab (deep copy)
download_lab_configs lab_id or lab_title Download all node configs from a running lab

Workflow: Create a Lab from Scratch (Slack)

When a user says something like "build me a 3-router OSPF lab" in Slack:

  1. Create the lab: Use create_lab with a descriptive title
  2. Add nodes: (See cml-topology-builder skill) Add routers, switches, servers
  3. Wire the topology: (See cml-topology-builder skill) Create interfaces and links
  4. Apply configs: (See cml-node-operations skill) Set startup configs
  5. Start the lab: Use start_lab to boot everything
  6. Verify convergence: (See cml-node-operations skill) Execute show commands to verify routing
  7. Report back: Tell the user the lab is ready with node names and management IPs

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.
