What it does

Pyats F5 Ltm is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. F5 BIG-IP LTM/GTM operations via pyATS iControl REST — virtual servers, pools, nodes, monitors, profiles, iRules, persistence, GTM wide IPs, DNS, data groups. Use when the device is only reachable through the pyATS testbed, or for LTM/GTM configuration detail (iRules, persistence, GTM wide IPs/DNS, data groups) that f5-health-check/f5-troubleshoot don't cover. For routine health checks or active-incident troubleshooting, use those skills instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Go-to-market strategy. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- F5_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pyats F5 Ltm loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.8k

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.

F5 BIG-IP LTM/GTM Operations via pyATS

Testbed Requirements

F5 BIG-IP devices in the pyATS testbed:

yaml

devices:
  bigip-01:
    os: bigip
    type: load-balancer
    connections:
      rest:
        class: rest
        ip: 10.0.0.20
        port: 443
        protocol: https
    credentials:
      default:
        username: "%ENV{F5_USERNAME}"
        password: "%ENV{F5_PASSWORD}"

How to Call

Use pyats_run_show_command with iControl REST API paths:

bash

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_show_command '{"device_name":"bigip-01","command":"show ltm virtual"}'

Or for direct REST endpoints, the pyATS F5 connection maps these to iControl REST GETs.

Workflows

1. LTM Application Health Check

/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual → list all virtual servers, status
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool → pool status, member states
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/node → node availability
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/persistence/persist-records → active sessions
→ Flag: virtuals down, pools with no available members, nodes offline
→ GAIT

2. SSL/TLS Certificate Audit

/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl → client SSL profiles
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/server-ssl → server SSL profiles
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/cipher/group → cipher groups in use
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/cipher/rule → cipher rules
→ Flag: weak ciphers, TLS 1.0/1.1 enabled, expiring certs
→ GAIT

3. GTM/GSLB Audit

/mgmt/tm/gtm/wideip/a → all A-record wide IPs
→ /mgmt/tm/gtm/pool/a → GTM pool health
→ /mgmt/tm/gtm/datacenter → datacenter status
→ /mgmt/tm/gtm/server → server availability
→ /mgmt/tm/gtm/sync-status → GTM sync state
→ Flag: wide IPs with no available pools, datacenters offline
→ GAIT

4. iRule Review

/mgmt/tm/ltm/rule → list all iRules
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/rule-profiler → iRule performance stats
→ /mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual → which virtuals use which iRules
→ Flag: iRules with high CPU, unused iRules, deprecated commands
→ GAIT

Integration with Other Skills

Skill	Integration
f5-health-check	F5 MCP for operational monitoring; pyATS REST for full object inventory
f5-config-mgmt	F5 MCP for safe config changes; pyATS REST for pre/post audit
f5-troubleshoot	F5 MCP for troubleshooting; pyATS REST for deep object inspection
pyats-f5-platform	Platform/system endpoints complement LTM/GTM traffic management view
nvd-cve	Scan F5 software version against NVD
gait-session-tracking	Every REST query logged in GAIT

Guardrails

All queries are read-only — GET requests to iControl REST API only
No configuration changes — never POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE via this skill
Gate changes behind ServiceNow — any config changes go through f5-config-mgmt with CR
Record in GAIT — every API query must be logged

Failure Behavior

If a tool call fails with an authentication or connection error, check that PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT, PYATS_TESTBED_PATH are set and valid before assuming a data or device problem.
On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.
