What it does

Webex Network Alerts is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Format and deliver network alerts, health warnings, and critical notifications via Cisco WebEx with Adaptive Cards, markdown formatting, and file attachments. Use when sending alerts to WebEx spaces, posting health check results, notifying the team about a device issue, or formatting network status updates for a WebEx space.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Sending alerts to WebEx spaces
  • Posting health check results
  • Notifying the team about a device issue
  • Formatting network status updates for a WebEx space

Example prompts

  • “/webex-network-alerts”

Requirements

  • A credential in WEBEX_BOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the full health check procedure
  2. Determine overall severity (CRITICAL > HIGH > WARNING > HEALTHY)
  3. Format the alert using the appropriate severity template above
  4. Post to the network operations space via WebEx Messages API
  5. For CRITICAL alerts, use an Adaptive Card with attention style container
  6. For CRITICAL, start a thread by replying to the original message with detailed diagnostics

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • webexapis.com
    • adaptivecards.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WEBEX_BOT_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Webex Network Alerts loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 689 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

Messages — Create (with Adaptive Card)Deliver rich formatted alerts with severity styling
Messages — Create (with files)Attach diagrams, reports, and log excerpts
WebhooksReceive notification when users interact with Adaptive Cards

WebEx Authentication

NetClaw uses a WebEx Bot access token for all messaging operations:

  • Bot Token: Long-lived token from developer.webex.com (does not expire)
  • Base URL: https://webexapis.com/v1/
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer $WEBEX_BOT_TOKEN

Alert Severity Formatting

Use WebEx markdown and Adaptive Cards to visually distinguish severity levels. WebEx supports a subset of markdown in plain messages and full Adaptive Card schema (v1.3) for rich layouts.

CRITICAL Alert Format (Adaptive Card)

Post as an Adaptive Card with a red container:

json
{
  "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
  "content": {
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "version": "1.3",
    "body": [
      {
        "type": "Container",
        "style": "attention",
        "items": [
          {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "CRITICAL -- Device Unreachable",
            "weight": "Bolder",
            "size": "Medium",
            "color": "Attention"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "type": "FactSet",
        "facts": [
          { "title": "Device:", "value": "R1 (10.1.1.1)" },
          { "title": "Detected:", "value": "2024-02-21 14:32 UTC" },
          { "title": "Impact:", "value": "47 downstream routes affected, 3 OSPF adjacencies lost" }
        ]
      },
      {
        "type": "TextBlock",
        "text": "**Symptoms:**\n- Ping 0% success (was 100%)\n- OSPF neighbor state: DOWN\n- BGP peer 10.1.1.2: IDLE",
        "wrap": true
      },
      {
        "type": "TextBlock",
        "text": "**Recommended Action:**\n1. Check physical connectivity / power\n2. Verify interface status on upstream device\n3. Check for reload reason if device recovers",
        "wrap": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

Always include a plain markdown field as fallback text alongside the card attachment for clients that don't render Adaptive Cards.

Alert Workflows

Health Check Alert Flow

After running a health check (pyats-health-check skill), post results to the designated WebEx space:

  1. Run the full health check procedure
  2. Determine overall severity (CRITICAL > HIGH > WARNING > HEALTHY)
  3. Format the alert using the appropriate severity template above
  4. Post to the network operations space via WebEx Messages API
  5. For CRITICAL alerts, use an Adaptive Card with attention style container
  6. For CRITICAL, start a thread by replying to the original message with detailed diagnostics
Threshold-Triggered Alerts

When any health check metric exceeds thresholds:

MetricWARNINGHIGHCRITICAL
CPU 5min avg> 50%> 75%> 90%
Memory used> 70%> 85%> 95%
Interface errors> 0 CRC> 100/minResets incrementing
Packet loss> 0%> 5%> 20%
NTP offset> 100ms> 500ms> 1s or unsync
BGP peerFlapping1 peer downMultiple peers down
OSPF adjacencyFlapping1 adj lostArea partition
Multi-Device Fleet Alert Summary (Adaptive Card)

After a fleet-wide health check, post a single summary using an Adaptive Card with a ColumnSet:

json
{
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.3",
  "body": [
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Fleet Health Summary -- 2024-02-21 14:00 UTC",
      "weight": "Bolder",
      "size": "Medium"
    },
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "**Devices Checked:** 8 | 1 CRITICAL | 2 HIGH | 3 WARNING | 2 HEALTHY"
    },
    {
      "type": "ColumnSet",
      "columns": [
        { "type": "Column", "width": "auto", "items": [{"type":"TextBlock","text":"**Device**","weight":"Bolder"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"R1"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"R2"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"SW1"}]},
        { "type": "Column", "width": "auto", "items": [{"type":"TextBlock","text":"**CPU**","weight":"Bolder"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"12%"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"8%"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"67%"}]},
        { "type": "Column", "width": "auto", "items": [{"type":"TextBlock","text":"**Mem**","weight":"Bolder"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"78%"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"45%"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"52%"}]},
        { "type": "Column", "width": "auto", "items": [{"type":"TextBlock","text":"**Overall**","weight":"Bolder"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"WARNING","color":"Warning"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"CRITICAL","color":"Attention"},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"HIGH","color":"Warning"}]}
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "_Details in thread_",
      "isSubtle": true
    }
  ]
}
Security Alert Flow

After a security audit (pyats-security skill), post findings:

**Security Audit -- R1**

**Findings:** 2 CRITICAL | 2 HIGH | 3 MEDIUM | 1 LOW

**CRITICAL:**
- [C-001] SSHv1 enabled -- MITM vulnerability
- [C-002] No VTY access-class -- management plane exposed

**HIGH:**
- [H-001] No OSPF authentication on Gi1
- [H-002] SNMP community 'public' with no ACL

WebEx Threading

WebEx supports message threading via the parentId field:

  • Always thread follow-up investigation steps under the original alert
  • Post the initial alert as a top-level message to the space
  • Post diagnostics, show command outputs, and resolution steps as thread replies using parentId
  • Post final resolution summary as both a thread reply and a new top-level message
Show full SKILL.md (283 more words)Show less

File Attachments

Attach supporting data as files via the Messages API (multipart POST):

  • Topology diagrams -- Draw.io PNG/SVG after topology discovery
  • Health reports -- Full text report as .txt attachment
  • Config diffs -- Pre/post change diffs
  • Log excerpts -- Relevant log sections for investigation
  • Markmap mind maps -- Protocol hierarchy visualizations

WebEx supports attaching files up to 100 MB per message.

Integration with GAIT

Every alert should reference the GAIT session:

_Tracked in GAIT session `abc123` -- commit `def456`_

Failure Behavior

  • If a tool call fails with an authentication or connection error, check that WEBEX_BOT_TOKEN is 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.
