What it does
Rfc Lookup is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Search and retrieve IETF RFC documents - lookup by number, search by keyword, extract sections. Use when looking up an RFC, checking protocol specifications, verifying standards compliance, or researching how a protocol should behave per the spec.
Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Looking up an RFC
- Checking protocol specifications
- Verifying standards compliance
- Researching how a protocol should behave per the spec
Example prompts
- “/rfc-lookup”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- get_rfc - Fetch full RFC by number
- search_rfcs - Search by keyword
- get_rfc_section - Extract specific section
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Rfc Lookup loads about 541 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 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.
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.

IETF RFC Lookup
How to Use
Send requests to the RFC MCP server via mcp-call:
Get an RFC by number
python3 $MCP_CALL "npx -y @mjpitz/mcp-rfc" get_rfc '{"number":"4271"}'Search RFCs by keyword
python3 $MCP_CALL "npx -y @mjpitz/mcp-rfc" search_rfcs '{"query":"BGP security"}'Get a specific section
python3 $MCP_CALL "npx -y @mjpitz/mcp-rfc" get_rfc_section '{"number":"4271","section":"Security Considerations"}'Available Tools
get_rfc - Fetch full RFC by number
number: RFC number (e.g., "4271", "5905")
search_rfcs - Search by keyword
query: Search term (e.g., "OSPF", "BGP security")
get_rfc_section - Extract specific section
number: RFC numbersection: Section title or number
Common Networking RFCs
- RFC 4271 - BGP-4
- RFC 2328 - OSPF Version 2
- RFC 5905 - NTPv4
- RFC 7454 - BGP Operations and Security
- RFC 8200 - IPv6
- RFC 791 - IPv4
- RFC 2903 - AAA Authorization Framework
When to Use
- Verifying protocol implementations against standards
- Looking up best practices for configuration
- Cross-referencing CVE remediation with protocol specifications
- Learning about networking protocols
Failure Behavior
- 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.
