unifi-troubleshoot-client

unifi-troubleshoot-client is a skill for Claude Code from mikeholownych/unifi-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for finding why one device has network problems on UniFi, a system for managing Wi-Fi networks and related equipment.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for diagnosing slow Wi-Fi, dropped connections, failed connections, internet blocking, and roaming problems on a specific phone, computer, or other client.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with checks of the device’s connection, wireless signal, roaming history, blocking status, and route to the internet.

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

unifi-troubleshoot-client 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 2mo 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Step 0 — Version check (always first)

Fetch get_sysinfo and note the Network application version. The controller facts in this skill were verified on Network 10.x / UniFi OS 5.x; on older versions expect differences (e.g., legacy stat/alarm exists, band steering uses an older flag). Adapt claims to the version you see.

UniFi Client Troubleshooting

Systematic diagnosis of a single misbehaving client: connectivity state, RF quality, roaming history, blocking/firewall status, and path to fix.

Context

  1. Resolve the client: list_all_clients matches name/MAC (includes offline); list_clients for currently connected only. Try get_client_details with MAC once found. If given an IP only, match it against both lists.
  2. Auth note: in Integration API mode client details are degraded; prefer local.

Workflow

  1. Presence & identity — is it known? online? wired or wireless? which AP/switch?
  2. Block check — blocked flag on details; also scan get_firewall_policies for BLOCK rules whose source zone contains the client.
  3. RF quality (wireless): signal/RSSI, noise, tx/rx rate, satisfaction, channel + band vs the AP's radio table (list_devices).
    • signal < -70 dBm → coverage problem
    • low tx_rate despite good signal → interference or legacy protocol
    • roam_count high → steering/flapping issue
  4. IP layer — has an IP? correct VLAN/network? DHCP reservation conflicts (use_fixedip vs current IP mismatch)?
  5. History & events — troubleshoot_client deep-dive; get_recent_events may be empty on Network 10+ (endpoints removed) — say so once if so.
  6. Compare peers — other clients on same AP/band via list_clients: if all bad → AP problem; only this one → client problem.
  7. Verdict + fix plan, e.g.:
    • Blocked → confirm with user → unblock_client
    • Weak signal → suggest AP placement/channel plan (defer to unifi-wifi-optimize)
    • IP conflict → propose reservation update
    • Flapping → check min-RSSI/bss_transition settings

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.
