f5-config-mgmt

f5-config-mgmt is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 73 tokens per session (5,877 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for safely changing F5 BIG-IP configuration, including virtual servers, pools, iRules, and profiles. It captures the current configuration before creating, updating, or deleting objects and verifies the result afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or modify virtual servers, add pool members, deploy iRules, change profiles, delete objects, and perform verified blue-green traffic shifts.
Why use it?
It provides a known starting point for reversing a bad change and reduces the risk of changing traffic-handling configuration without checking its effects. It also supports controlled traffic shifts such as blue-green deployments.

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

f5-config-mgmt 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.

F5 BIG-IP Configuration Management

Golden Rule

NEVER apply configuration without first capturing a baseline. If the change goes wrong, you need to know what to restore.

How to Call the Tools

The F5 MCP server provides 6 tools. Call them via mcp-call with the required environment variables:

IP_ADDRESS=$F5_IP_ADDRESS Authorization_string=$F5_AUTH_STRING python3 $MCP_CALL "python3 -u $F5_MCP_SCRIPT" <tool_name> '{"param":"value"}'

Available Tools

Tool Purpose HTTP Method Key Arguments
list_tool List F5 objects GET object_name, object_type
show_stats_tool Show object statistics GET object_name, object_type
show_logs_tool Show system logs GET lines_number
create_tool Create objects POST url_body, object_type
update_tool Update objects PATCH url_body, object_type, object_name
delete_tool Delete objects DELETE object_type, object_name

Object types: virtual, pool, irule, profile


Change Workflow

Phase 1: Pre-Change Baseline

Capture the current state of everything the change might affect. This is the rollback reference.

1A: Capture Virtual Server State
IP_ADDRESS=$F5_IP_ADDRESS Authorization_string=$F5_AUTH_STRING python3 $MCP_CALL "python3 -u $F5_MCP_SCRIPT" list_tool '{"object_name":"","object_type":"virtual"}'

Store the full list of virtual servers, their configurations, pool assignments, and profiles.

1B: Capture Pool State
IP_ADDRESS=$F5_IP_ADDRESS Authorization_string=$F5_AUTH_STRING python3 $MCP_CALL "python3 -u $F5_MCP_SCRIPT" list_tool '{"object_name":"","object_type":"pool"}'

Store pool configurations, member lists, monitor assignments, and load balancing methods.

1C: Capture Statistics Baseline

For each affected object, capture current stats to compare post-change:

IP_ADDRESS=$F5_IP_ADDRESS Authorization_string=$F5_AUTH_STRING python3 $MCP_CALL "python3 -u $F5_MCP_SCRIPT" show_stats_tool '{"object_name":"my_virtual_server","object_type":"virtual"}'

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.
