nbox-ipam-read

nbox-ipam-read is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lance0/nbox. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,104 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only tool for answering IP-addressing questions from NetBox, a system for managing networks, addresses, and VLANs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect IPs, prefixes, VLANs, IP ranges, aggregates, VRFs, route targets, utilization, and possible free addresses or child prefixes.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching several network records to find where an address belongs, how much space remains, or what is available.

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

nbox-ipam-read 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

nbox IPAM reads

The IPAM read commands answer addressing and routing questions: where an address lives, how full a prefix is, what's free, and how VRFs/route-targets relate. All are read-only. For the flags of any one, run nbox <cmd> --help — this skill is flag-free by design, describing what each command answers.

What each command answers

  • nbox ip <address> — one IP, enriched with its most-specific parent prefix (VRF-scoped), that prefix's VLAN, and the prefix's scope/scope_type (site, location, region, …). Surfaces nat_inside/nat_outside (NetBox 4.6) when set. "Where does 203.0.113.10 live, and in what prefix/VLAN/site?"
  • nbox prefix <cidr> — one prefix with its utilization, child prefixes, and contained IPs. "How full is 10.0.0.0/24, and what's under it?"
  • nbox next-ip <cidr> / nbox next-prefix <cidr> — a read-only preview of the next free address / child block. They reserve nothing (see the warning below).
  • nbox vlan <vid|name> — one VLAN with its referencing prefixes, its own scope/scope_type, and (when it belongs to a scoped VLAN group) the group's group_scope/group_scope_type.
  • nbox ip-range <start|id> — one IP range (the start address or id).
  • nbox aggregate <cidr|id> — one aggregate (the top-level allocation a prefix tree sits under).
  • nbox vrf <name|rd|id> — a VRF as a routing context: RD, tenant, enforce-unique, import/export route targets, counts, plus its prefix tree and scoped addresses.
  • nbox route-target <name|id> — a route target (e.g. 65000:100) plus the VRFs that import and export it.

next-ip / next-prefix reserve NOTHING

next-ip and next-prefix are read-only previews — they show what NetBox would hand out next, but claim nothing and race with other clients. To actually claim an address or block, use the reserve write commands, which POST to NetBox's available-ips / available-prefixes endpoints under the dry-run / confirm gate. See the IPAM allocate and safe writes skills.

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.
