What is pyats-linux-network?

A pyATS skill for inspecting network settings on Linux hosts, including interfaces, IP addresses, routes, connections, and multiple routing tables.

Use it to verify interface state, addresses, MTU, packet errors, routing tables, active connections, and host routes.

It makes host-network checks repeatable across a group of machines and exposes configuration or connectivity differences.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00053	$0.02196
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.01098
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00439
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00220

Security

Grade A, and why

pyats-linux-network 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.

Linux Host Network Operations

Testbed Requirements

Linux hosts must be defined in the pyATS testbed with os: linux. See pyats-linux-system for the testbed YAML format.

How to Call

All commands use pyats_run_linux_command:

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_linux_command '{"device_name":"linux-host-01","command":"<command>"}'

Commands

Interface Configuration

All Interfaces

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_linux_command '{"device_name":"linux-host-01","command":"ifconfig"}'

Returns all interfaces with: IP address, netmask, broadcast, MAC address, MTU, RX/TX packets, RX/TX errors, RX/TX bytes, flags (UP/RUNNING/MULTICAST).

What to check:

Interface UP/DOWN state — is the expected interface active?
IP address correctness — does it match NetBox/Nautobot records?
RX/TX errors — non-zero errors indicate physical or driver issues
MTU — verify jumbo frames (9000) or standard (1500) as expected
Dropped packets — may indicate buffer or rate-limit issues

Specific Interface

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_linux_command '{"device_name":"linux-host-01","command":"ifconfig eth0"}'

Common interfaces to inspect:

eth0 / ens192 — Primary management interface
docker0 — Docker bridge network
lo — Loopback (verify 127.0.0.1)
bond0 — NIC bonding/teaming
vlan100 — VLAN sub-interface
tun0 / wg0 — VPN tunnel interfaces
br-* — Docker/bridge networks

Routing Tables

Full Routing Table (All Tables)

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_linux_command '{"device_name":"linux-host-01","command":"ip route show table all"}'

Returns routes from ALL routing tables — main, local, custom policy tables. This is the most comprehensive route view on a Linux host.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
