fmc-firewall-ops

fmc-firewall-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,706 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for searching and inspecting Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) access rules across one or more FMC systems. It can check network addresses, domain names, users, groups, and security tags against firewall policies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit FMC access policies, find rules by IP address or fully qualified domain name, locate policies for FTD devices, and review security-group-based segmentation rules.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually search large firewall policy sets or guess which policy belongs to a device. It helps answer whether traffic between two hosts is allowed and which rule controls it.

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

fmc-firewall-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 5d 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.

Cisco FMC Firewall Operations

MCP Server

  • Repository: CiscoDevNet/CiscoFMC-MCP-server-community
  • Transport: HTTP (http://<host>:8000/mcp) — requires HTTPS reverse proxy for production
  • Install: git clone + pip install -r requirements.txt + python -m sfw_mcp_fmc.server (or Docker)
  • Requires: FMC_BASE_URL, FMC_USERNAME, FMC_PASSWORD

Available Tools (4)

Tool What It Does
list_fmc_profiles Discover all configured FMC instances (single or multi-FMC mode). Returns profile IDs, display names, and aliases. Use this first to select which FMC to query.
find_rules_by_ip_or_fqdn Search rules within a specific access policy by IP address or FQDN. Matches source/destination network objects against the given indicator.
find_rules_for_target Resolve FTD devices or HA clusters to their assigned access policies, then search those policies. Use when you know the firewall device name but not the policy name.
search_access_rules FMC-wide rule search with multiple filter types: network indicators (IP, FQDN), identity indicators (SGT tags, realm users/groups), and policy name filters. The most powerful search tool.

Key Concepts

Concept What It Means
FMC Firepower Management Center — centralized management for Cisco Secure Firewalls (FTD)
FTD Firepower Threat Defense — the firewall appliance/virtual managed by FMC
Access Policy Collection of access rules (ACLs) applied to FTD devices — permit/deny by source/dest/port/app
Access Rule Individual rule within a policy — source zones, dest zones, source/dest networks, ports, action (allow/block/monitor)
SGT Security Group Tag — TrustSec identity-based tag for micro-segmentation
HA Cluster High Availability pair of FTD devices sharing the same policy
Profile FMC connection configuration (URL, credentials) — supports multi-FMC environments
