pyats-linux-system

pyats-linux-system is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,962 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pyATS skill for inspecting Linux hosts over SSH, including processes, files, logs, installed tools, and Docker containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find runaway processes, inspect logs, check Docker container statistics, and verify that required system tools are installed.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent a consistent way to check host state across machines without manually logging in and running commands.

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-linux-system scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Linux Host System Operations

Testbed Requirements

Linux hosts must be defined in the pyATS testbed with os: linux:

devices:
  linux-host-01:
    os: linux
    type: linux
    connections:
      cli:
        protocol: ssh
        ip: 10.0.0.50
        port: 22
    credentials:
      default:
        username: "%ENV{NETCLAW_USERNAME}"
        password: "%ENV{NETCLAW_PASSWORD}"

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

Process Monitoring

List All Running Processes
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":"ps -ef"}'

Returns full process listing: UID, PID, PPID, CPU time, start time, command. Use for capacity planning, runaway process detection, and baseline comparison.

Search for Specific Processes
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":"ps -ef | grep nginx"}'

Filter processes by name. Common targets:

  • ps -ef | grep python — Python services (MCP servers, automation agents)
  • ps -ef | grep docker — Docker daemon and containers
  • ps -ef | grep ssh — SSH connections
  • ps -ef | grep java — Java applications (Kafka, Elasticsearch)
  • ps -ef | grep node — Node.js services (MCP servers)

Docker Container Operations

Container Resource Usage
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":"docker stats --no-stream"}'

Returns point-in-time container stats: CPU %, memory usage/limit, network I/O, block I/O, PIDs. The --no-stream flag captures a single snapshot (no continuous output).

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.

pyats-linux-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository automateyournetwork/netclaw (657 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,962 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
