In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review virtual servers, audit pool members, inspect monitor status, examine iRules and profiles, and check GTM wide IPs and DNS health.

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

pyats-f5-ltm 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 LTM/GTM Operations via pyATS

Testbed Requirements

F5 BIG-IP devices in the pyATS testbed:

devices:
  bigip-01:
    os: bigip
    type: load-balancer
    connections:
      rest:
        class: rest
        ip: 10.0.0.20
        port: 443
        protocol: https
    credentials:
      default:
        username: "%ENV{F5_USERNAME}"
        password: "%ENV{F5_PASSWORD}"

How to Call

Use pyats_run_show_command with iControl REST API paths:

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_show_command '{"device_name":"bigip-01","command":"show ltm virtual"}'

Or for direct REST endpoints, the pyATS F5 connection maps these to iControl REST GETs.
