nso-service-mgmt

nso-service-mgmt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,550 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Cisco NSO service-management tool for discovering and listing network services. NSO represents services such as VPNs or access-control policies and coordinates their deployment across devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list available service types and retrieve the deployed instances for a selected type, such as an L3VPN, VPLS, ACL, or quality-of-service service.
Why use it?
It provides a central view of what service types exist and which service instances are deployed. This helps with service inventory, health checks, and audits of network provisioning.

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

nso-service-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.

NSO Service Management

MCP Server

  • Command: cisco-nso-mcp-server (pip-installed, stdio transport)
  • Requires: NSO_ADDRESS, NSO_USERNAME, NSO_PASSWORD environment variables

Available Tools

Tool Parameters What It Does
get_service_types none List all available service types in NSO (L3VPN, VPLS, ACL, etc.)
get_services service_type List all service instances for a given service type

What Are NSO Services?

NSO services are the core value of NSO. Instead of configuring devices one at a time, you define a service (e.g., "L3VPN between Site-A and Site-B") and NSO:

  1. Translates the service intent into per-device CLI/NETCONF configuration
  2. Deploys the config to all affected devices transactionally
  3. Tracks what config belongs to which service (service meta-data)
  4. Enables rollback — delete the service and all its config is cleanly removed

Common service types include:

  • L3VPN — Layer 3 VPN provisioning across PE routers
  • L2VPN / VPLS — Layer 2 VPN / VPLS services
  • ACL Management — Centralized ACL provisioning
  • QoS Policies — Quality of service templates across devices
  • Interface Provisioning — Standardized interface configurations
  • Firewall Rules — Security policy deployment
  • Custom Services — Any service package developed for your environment

Workflow: Service Discovery

When a user asks "what services does NSO have?" or "what can NSO provision?":

  1. Get service types: get_service_types to list all available service packages
  2. For each type: get_services to list deployed instances
  3. Report: Table of service types, instance counts, and deployment status

Workflow: Service Inventory Report

When a user needs to understand what's deployed:

  1. List service types: get_service_types
  2. For each interesting type: get_services with the service type name
  3. Cross-reference with devices: Use get_device_config (nso-device-ops) to see the config NSO deployed
  4. Report: Service name, type, affected devices, deployment status

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.
