gtrace-path-analysisNetwork path tracing and monitoring — traceroute with MPLS/ECMP/NAT detection, continuous MTR monitoring, and distributed GlobalPing probes from 500+ worldwide locations.
Gtrace Path Analysis is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Network path tracing and monitoring — traceroute with MPLS/ECMP/NAT detection, continuous MTR monitoring, and distributed GlobalPing probes from 500+ worldwide locations. Use when tracing the path to a destination, diagnosing slow network routes, detecting MPLS or ECMP load balancing, running MTR for intermittent packet loss, or testing reachability from global vantage points. Works standalone from this host, no external platform required; if Cisco ThousandEyes agents are already deployed, prefer te-path-analysis…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud networking and Incident response. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95bb17e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GLOBALPING_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Gtrace Path Analysis loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 195 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

When asked "why is traffic slow to X?" or "trace the path to X":
Run an advanced traceroute to see every hop, latency, and any MPLS/ECMP/NAT indicators.
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" traceroute '{"target":"8.8.8.8"}'For IPv6:
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" traceroute '{"target":"2001:4860:4860::8888"}'If the traceroute shows packet loss or high latency at a specific hop, run MTR to monitor continuously and confirm the problem is persistent.
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" mtr '{"target":"8.8.8.8","count":100}'Compare paths from multiple worldwide locations to determine if the issue is local or global.
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" globalping '{"target":"8.8.8.8","from":"US,EU,Asia"}'Verify MPLS label-switched paths and label stacks along the path:
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" traceroute '{"target":"10.0.0.1"}'Look for MPLS label information in the hop details. Useful for verifying traffic engineering and MPLS VPN paths.
Detect if traffic is being load-balanced across multiple equal-cost paths:
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" traceroute '{"target":"192.168.1.1"}'ECMP detection reveals when multiple next-hops exist at a given TTL, indicating load balancing.

Network path tracing and monitoring — traceroute with MPLS/ECMP/NAT detection, continuous MTR monitoring, and distributed GlobalPing probes from 500+ worldwide locations. Gtrace Path Analysis is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Network path tracing and monitoring — traceroute with MPLS/ECMP/NAT detection, continuous MTR monitoring, and distributed GlobalPing probes from 500+ worldwide locations.
Gtrace Path Analysis fits situations like: tracing the path to a destination; diagnosing slow network routes; ECMP load balancing; running MTR for intermittent packet loss.
Run `npx skills add automateyournetwork/netclaw --skill gtrace-path-analysis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (workspace/skills/gtrace-path-analysis in automateyournetwork/netclaw) into .claude/skills/gtrace-path-analysis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add automateyournetwork/netclaw --skill gtrace-path-analysis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (workspace/skills/gtrace-path-analysis in automateyournetwork/netclaw) into .agents/skills/gtrace-path-analysis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add automateyournetwork/netclaw --skill gtrace-path-analysis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/gtrace-path-analysis, .gemini/skills/gtrace-path-analysis, .github/skills/gtrace-path-analysis and .opencode/skills/gtrace-path-analysis in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Gtrace Path Analysis needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3) and credentials named GLOBALPING_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in GLOBALPING_API_KEY.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Gtrace Path Analysis is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
