n2n-federation

n2n-federation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 51 tokens per session (5,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A federation link lets two NetClaw operators exchange signed lists of what their network agents can do, after both sides consent. You can ask your own agent about a peer's available skills without sharing credentials or secrets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to approve or stop federation with a peer, check which skills a peer has, and control which of your own skills are advertised.
Why use it?
It removes the need to inspect or compare another operator's capabilities manually. Local cached lists also let you ask about peers without directly accessing their machines.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/in2n-services.py generate # write units: mesh daemon + one per always-on member.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

n2n-federation 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.

NetClaw-to-NetClaw (N2N) Federation

Elevate the NetClaw Mesh from route exchange to agent federation. Once two operators mutually consent, their claws exchange signed capability inventories, so you can ask your own NetClaw "does Nicholas's claw have CML?" and get an answer from locally cached inventory — no credentials or secrets ever leave either machine.

Uses the n2n-mcp server, which proxies the mesh daemon's /n2n/* API. The daemon must run with N2N_ENABLED=true.

When to use

  • An operator asks about a peer NetClaw's capabilities ("what can Byrn's claw do?", "does Nicholas have pyATS?", "what skills does he have that I don't?").
  • An operator wants to federate with, or stop federating with, a mesh peer.
  • An operator wants to control what their claw advertises to peers.

Workflow

1. Federate (mutual consent)

Both operators must consent before ANY capability information flows.

  1. Confirm the peer's AS and router-id out-of-band (e.g. in Slack) — this is the identity check, so verify it before consenting.
  2. Call n2n_consent(peer_as=65007, router_id="7.7.7.7", display_name="Nicholas"). Optionally pass host/port (their ngrok endpoint) to dial immediately.
  3. When the peer also consents, the NCFED channel opens and inventories exchange automatically. n2n_status shows the peer flip to federated.

2. Browse a peer's capabilities

  • n2n_peer_capabilities(peer="as65007-7.7.7.7") — their skills, MCP servers/tools, and badges (CML, pyATS, Meraki…), with inventory freshness. If the inventory is stale (peer offline past the refresh window), the answer says so.
  • n2n_compare_capabilities(peer="as65007-7.7.7.7") — what they have that you don't, and vice versa.

3. Control what you advertise

  • n2n_set_visibility(item_type="mcp_server", item_name="cml-mcp", visibility="all_federated") to advertise a server; visibility="hidden" removes it from the advertised inventory entirely; visibility="selected_peers" with peers="as65007-7.7.7.7" limits it. Defaults: both skills and MCP servers advertised to federated peers (names/tool-names only, never secrets); hide specific items with visibility=hidden.

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.
