firewall-networking

firewall-networking is a skill for Claude Code from controlplane-com/ai-plugin. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to controlling which network traffic can reach or leave services on Control Plane, including rules based on IP ranges, hostnames, locations, or request headers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure inbound and outbound firewall rules, block IPs, allow specific CIDR ranges, restrict by country, route by headers, and protect internal endpoints.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unwanted access and makes service-to-service connections explicit. It also explains how firewall changes affect running workloads.

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

firewall-networking 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 17d 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.

Firewall & Networking

Deep detail for spec.firewallConfig and the enforcement model behind it; the workload skill owns the summary (deny-by-default, exposure decided at create time, LB picker). Set firewallConfig with create_workload / update_workload — or public: true, the shortcut that opens inbound AND outbound to 0.0.0.0/0 (mutually exclusive with an explicit firewallConfig). A firewall change creates a new deployment version — a rolling replace, live in about a minute (vm workloads are the exception: firewall updates apply in place without restarting the VM).

How rules are enforced

Inbound is checked per request at the mesh sidecar. It counts as fully open only when inboundAllowCIDR contains the literal 0.0.0.0/0 AND inboundBlockedCIDR is empty; anything else is allow-list mode. Blocked beats allowed; a bare IP means /32. Header and geo filters apply to HTTP traffic only — tcp-protocol ports are CIDR-filtered at the connection level instead.

Outbound has two separate paths, which is why CIDR rules beat hostname rules:

  • CIDR path — traffic to outboundAllowCIDR ranges bypasses the sidecar and exits directly, on ALL ports unless outboundAllowPort is set.
  • Hostname path — everything else transits the sidecar, which only admits outboundAllowHostname entries, matched by Host header (HTTP) or TLS SNI, on ports 80, 443, and 445 (SMB) by default.
  • outboundBlockedCIDR is subtracted at the network layer and beats both paths — an allowed hostname that resolves into a blocked range still fails.
  • Outbound is fully open only with the literal 0.0.0.0/0 in outboundAllowCIDR.

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.

firewall-networking is a skill published in the GitHub repository controlplane-com/ai-plugin (11 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,382 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
