Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00088 | $0.03578 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01789 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00716 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00358 |
Grade A, and why
routeros-mndp 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 12d 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.

MNDP — MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol
MNDP is the UDP broadcast/multicast protocol that RouterOS uses for automatic device discovery on the local network. It is the same protocol WinBox uses to find routers. Every RouterOS device participates by default.
Why This Matters for Agents
/ip/neighboron RouterOS is the CLI/REST surface for MNDP results- WinBox's "Neighbors" tab is an MNDP listener
- Any agent implementing device discovery for MikroTik equipment needs MNDP
- The protocol is simple enough to implement from scratch — no library needed
Protocol Basics
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Transport | UDP |
| Port | 5678 |
| IPv4 | Broadcast to 255.255.255.255:5678 |
| IPv6 | Multicast to ff02::1 (all-nodes link-local) |
| Direction | Bidirectional — same port for send and receive |
| Authentication | None — read-only discovery, no credentials |
| Scope | Layer 2 broadcast domain (does not cross routers) |
How Discovery Works
- Listener sends a refresh packet — a small UDP datagram to 255.255.255.255:5678 (MAC-Telnet sends a minimal 4-byte zeroed header; a 9-byte form also works — see below)
- All RouterOS devices on the LAN reply — each sends a TLV-encoded announcement with identity, version, board, MAC, IP, uptime, etc.
- Replies arrive asynchronously — devices respond within milliseconds to seconds depending on network conditions
- RouterOS devices also announce periodically (~60s cycle) without being prompted — passive listening works but is slow to populate
Refresh Packet (Discovery Request)
A short packet that triggers immediate replies from all RouterOS devices on the broadcast
domain. The minimal form is just a zeroed 4-byte header — this is exactly what MAC-Telnet
sends (unsigned int message = 0;):
Offset Length Value Field
0 1 0x00 header byte 0 (version per MAC-Telnet; "unknown" per Wireshark)
1 1 0x00 header byte 1 (ttl per MAC-Telnet)
2 2 0x0000 seqno / checksum
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.

routeros-mndp is a skill published in the GitHub repository tikoci/routeros-skills (59 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 3,578 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
