using-bubbaloop

using-bubbaloop is a skill for Claude Code from kornia/bubbaloop. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,148 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of senior-strategy-architect, Apache-2.0.

A guide for controlling Bubbaloop, a sensor-management system where MCP handles commands and Zenoh handles high-speed streaming data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover sensor nodes, check their health and capabilities, manage their lifecycle, send commands, and subscribe to streaming data.
Why use it?
It prevents common mistakes such as repeatedly polling MCP for live sensor values or sending commands without the required access level.

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 B, and why

using-bubbaloop scanned grade B 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 1mo 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.

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

The plugin's `.mcp.json` reads it from the `BUBBALOOP_MCP_TOKEN` environment variable. Set it once:

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using bubbaloop

Bubbaloop exposes 47 MCP tools across three RBAC tiers (Viewer / Operator / Admin) for managing sensor nodes on a Zenoh-based pub/sub mesh. Three of those (toolset_list, toolset_enable, toolset_get_tools) are dynamic-disclosure meta-tools — always visible regardless of which toolsets are enabled, used to narrow or broaden the live tool surface for context-window-limited models.

The two-plane model — the rule that matters most

  • MCP is the control plane: low-rate request/response (rate limit: 100 burst, 1 req/sec sustained). Use it for status, lifecycle, config, scheduling.
  • Zenoh is the data plane: high-rate streaming (1000s msg/sec). Use node_stream_info to obtain the topic, then subscribe externally with a Zenoh client (zenoh-python or the zenoh Rust crate).

Polling sensor data through repeated MCP calls is the most common mistake. Don't do it. If you find yourself looping node_command_send or zenoh_query to read values, stop and call node_stream_info.

Discovery sequence

For any new node interaction, follow this order:

node_list → node_health → node_manifest → node_commands

Then act with node_command_send or lifecycle tools. This sequence is cheap, side-effect-free, and prevents acting on stale or hallucinated names.

RBAC tiers

Tier Use for Examples
Viewer (22) Read-only inspection node_list, node_health, node_stream_info, dataflow_graph, job_list, toolset_list
Operator (15) Day-to-day control node_start, node_stop, node_restart, node_command_send, node_logs (now accepts lines param)
Admin (12) System modification node_install, node_remove, node_build, zenoh_query, memory_episodic_clear

In single-user localhost mode all authenticated callers receive Admin tier, but you should still treat Admin actions as requiring explicit user confirmation.

Dynamic toolsets

Tools are grouped into 11 toolsets by domain (node, mission, belief, system, telemetry, …). All toolsets are enabled by default. To narrow the surface for a small model, set BUBBALOOP_MCP_TOOLSETS=node,mission,system before launching the daemon — only those toolsets' tools will be visible on tools/list. At runtime, an agent can call toolset_list to see what's available, then toolset_enable("<name>") to activate one for the session and re-fetch tools/list.

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.
