What it does

Canvas Network Viz is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Canvas/A2UI inline network visualizations — topology maps, health dashboards, alert cards, change timelines, config diffs, path traces, and health scorecards rendered directly in the OpenClaw chat interface. Consumes existing MCP server data (pyATS, Grafana, Prometheus, ServiceNow, SuzieQ, Batfish) and outputs A2UI JSON for Canvas rendering. Use when the operator asks to see a network map, device dashboard, alert summary, change request timeline, config diff, forwarding path trace, or health scorecard.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 22 other files (for example `components/alert-card.js`, `components/change-timeline.js` and `components/dashboard-panel.js`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting. It works with Prometheus, Grafana, Model Context Protocol and ServiceNow. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

The operator asks to see a network map
Device dashboard
Change request timeline
Forwarding path trace

Example prompts

“/canvas-network-viz”

Requirements

Node.js

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Operator requests a visualization via natural language
Skill identifies visualization type from request pattern
Data is fetched from relevant MCP servers via existing tools
Data is transformed into the visualization-specific content model
A2UI JSON envelope is built with component type, props, and content
Canvas framework renders the visualization inline in chat
GAIT audit log entry is emitted for the visualization event

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa90e7d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Canvas Network Viz loads about 941 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 331 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~132
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~941

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Canvas Network Visualization

Overview

This skill renders inline network visualizations in the OpenClaw chat interface using the Canvas/A2UI framework. It does NOT establish direct device connections or create new MCP servers. All data is sourced from existing MCP tools.

Visualization Types

Type	Component	Data Sources	Trigger
Topology Map	`topology-map`	pyATS CDP/LLDP, health metrics	"show network topology"
Dashboard Panel	`dashboard-panel`	pyATS, Grafana, Prometheus	"show health dashboard for {device}"
Alert Card	`alert-card`	Grafana alerts, Prometheus alertmanager	"show current alerts"
Change Timeline	`change-timeline`	ServiceNow	"show change request {CR} status"
Diff View	`diff-view`	pyATS config/route/ACL	"show config diff for {device}"
Path Trace	`path-trace`	pyATS, SuzieQ	"trace path from {src} to {dst}"
Health Scorecard	`health-scorecard`	pyATS, Grafana, Prometheus	"show health scorecard for {site}"

How It Works

Operator requests a visualization via natural language
Skill identifies visualization type from request pattern
Data is fetched from relevant MCP servers via existing tools
Data is transformed into the visualization-specific content model
A2UI JSON envelope is built with component type, props, and content
Canvas framework renders the visualization inline in chat
GAIT audit log entry is emitted for the visualization event

Output Format

All visualizations produce A2UI JSON:

json

{
  "a2ui": {
    "version": "1.0",
    "type": "canvas",
    "component": "<visualization-type>",
    "props": {
      "id": "<uuid>",
      "title": "<title>",
      "timestamp": "<ISO 8601>",
      "dataSources": [...],
      "scope": {...},
      "warnings": [...],
      "content": {...}
    }
  }
}

Graceful Degradation

If a data source is unavailable, partial data is rendered with warnings
If no data is available at all, an error-card is returned with guidance
Health status defaults to "unknown" (gray) when metrics are missing
Large topologies (200+ nodes) are automatically clustered by site

Integration with Other Skills

Skill	Integration
gait-session-tracking	All visualization events are GAIT-logged
pyats-topology	CDP/LLDP discovery data for topology maps
pyats-health-check	Health metrics for node coloring and dashboards
grafana-observability	Prometheus metrics, alerts, dashboard data
prometheus-monitoring	Direct PromQL queries for metrics
servicenow-change-workflow	Change request lifecycle data

Important Rules

Read-only: This skill never modifies network devices or MCP server state
No new credentials: Uses existing MCP server connections only
Complements Three.js HUD: Does not replace ui/netclaw-visual/
GAIT mandatory: Every visualization generation is audit-logged
WCAG 2.1 AA: Color scales meet accessibility contrast requirements
