gns3-node-operations

gns3-node-operations is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 27 tokens per session (980 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for managing individual devices in GNS3 network labs, including routers, switches, and firewalls. It can create lab nodes, control their running state, and provide console access information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Adding devices from templates, starting or stopping nodes, reloading or suspending them, accessing consoles, and isolating devices for testing.
Why use it?
It removes the need to perform common lab-device setup and power-state tasks manually.

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

gns3-node-operations 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.

GNS3 Node Operations

Manage network device nodes in GNS3 projects. Add devices from templates, control power state, and access consoles for configuration and troubleshooting.

When to Use

  • Adding network devices (routers, switches, firewalls) to a lab
  • Starting or stopping individual nodes
  • Reloading nodes after configuration changes
  • Suspending nodes to save state
  • Starting or stopping all nodes in a project
  • Getting console access information for device configuration
  • Isolating nodes for testing without deleting links

MCP Server

  • Command: python3 -u mcp-servers/gns3-mcp-server/gns3_mcp_server.py (stdio transport)
  • Requires: GNS3_URL, GNS3_USER, GNS3_PASSWORD environment variables

Available Tools

Tool Parameters What It Does
gns3_list_nodes project_id List all nodes in a project with status
gns3_create_node project_id, template, name?, x?, y?, compute_id? Create node from template
gns3_start_node project_id, node_id Start a node (power on)
gns3_stop_node project_id, node_id Stop a node (power off)
gns3_suspend_node project_id, node_id Suspend a node (save state)
gns3_reload_node project_id, node_id Reload a node (restart)
gns3_bulk_node_action project_id, action Apply action to all nodes (start/stop/suspend/reload)
gns3_get_node_console project_id, node_id Get console connection info

Utility Tools

Tool Parameters What It Does
gns3_list_templates None List available node templates on the server
gns3_list_computes None List available compute servers

Workflow Examples

Build a Lab Topology

# List available templates
"List GNS3 templates"

# Add devices to the lab
"Add a Cisco IOSv router to routing-test"
"Add an Arista vEOS switch to routing-test"
"Add a VPCS host to routing-test"

Control Node Power State

# Start individual nodes
"Start router1 in routing-test"

# Start all nodes at once
"Start all nodes in routing-test"

# Stop when done
"Stop all nodes in routing-test"

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.
