On 2026-10-18 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 86 ms.

• Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: route device alerts to email, Slack, Teams or Discord; capture packets on the appliance and open them in Wireshark; monitor Windows hosts without SNMP.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• get_network_entity_info

  Retrieves WHOIS, GeoIP and DNS information for a public IP address or hostname. A hostname is resolved to an IP for the GeoIP lookup (`resolved_ip`, when resolution succeeds); an IP gets a reverse DNS lookup (`hostname`, when a PTR…

• arp_lookup

  Performs an ARP lookup to find the MAC address for a given Local IP address. A suitable network interface is automatically selected. The list of all suitable interfaces found is also returned.

• ping

  Ping a target host from the Netmon server. Wraps POST /api/getPingInfo/{target} (permission: tools). The probe runs ON the netmon server, not on the mcpmond host — so reachability reflects what netmon can see, which is what matters for…

• traceroute

  Traceroute to a target from the Netmon server. Wraps POST /api/getTracerouteInfo/{target} (permission: tools). The probe runs ON the netmon server — hops reflect the path FROM netmon TO the target, not from wherever mcpmond is running…

• port_map

  Nmap port scan against a single host from the Netmon server. Wraps POST /api/getPortscanInfo (permission: tools). Server runs `nmap -oX - -p <ports> --open <ip>` and returns the parsed result. The probe originates from netmon, not from…

• search_ip

  Find every mention of a specific IP across Netmon's log and telemetry streams: syslog, Windows eventlog, Suricata EVE, aggregated NetFlow, and ARP. Returns one bucket per stream with {total, samples}. Streams that 4xx (e.g. 403 from…

• syslog_search

  Search syslog messages from network devices. Wraps GET /api/syslog/list (permission: logs); tag-scoped server-side. Filters (all optional): device_id, severity (name or int 0-7), facility (int 0-23), source (exact host/IP), message…

• eventlog_search

  Search Windows Event Log entries ingested from Netmon agents. Wraps GET /api/eventlog/list (permission: logs); tag-scoped server-side. Severity is the raw Windows EventRecord.Level: 'logalways'=0 (what Security-channel audit events…

• eve_search

  Search Suricata EVE-format IDS events. Wraps GET /api/eve/list (permission: logs); tag-scoped server-side. Severity is Suricata-native: 1=high, 2=medium, 3=low/info — a 3-point scale, NOT syslog's 0-7. Takes names or ints: 'high'=1…

• eve_get

  Fetch a single Suricata EVE event by id, decoded server-side. Wraps GET /api/eve/get/{id} (requires permission: logs). Returns an envelope: summary (signature/category/action/gid:sid:rev/severity/app_proto), endpoints, app_layer…

• log_severity_summary

  Count log events grouped by severity over a time window. One tool, three backends — pass `stream` to pick which. stream='syslog' → wraps /api/syslog/sevSum (severity 0-7, syslog scheme) stream='eventlog' → wraps /api/eventlog/sevSum…

• syslog_facets

  Top-N value counts for ONE syslog field over a window — 'what are the top actions/reasons on this FortiGate in the last 2 hours' in a single call, instead of pulling rows and counting them yourself. Wraps GET /api/syslog/facets…

• netflow_search

  Search the FULL NetFlow history: the raw flow table (the last ~15 minutes) unioned with the aggregated rollup (4 weeks of history), windowed and pro-rated server-side. Wraps GET /api/aggnetflow/list (permission: vne). For per-flow packet…

• netflow_raw_search

  Search raw NetFlow records (per-flow, not aggregated). Wraps GET /api/netflow/list (permission: vne). HORIZON — read this before choosing a window: the raw table holds only about 15 MINUTES. cleanup_netflow (pg_cron, every 15 min) rolls…

• flow_summary

  Summarize one host's network conversations: top peers, top ports, and a client-vs-service-side split, each with a residual "other" bucket plus overall totals. Wraps GET /api/aggnetflow/summary (permission: vne). Use this to characterize a…

• device_list

  List monitored devices. Wraps GET /api/devices (permission: devices); user's tag-scope is enforced server-side. Filters (all optional, combinable): - tag: tag slug, e.g. "snmp-up" or "switches". Slug is the stable lowercase-hyphen form…

• device_get

  Fetch one device with its related state: tags, alerts, the ping / oid / interface / port / disk trackers configured on it, its SNMP walk trackers, and a netflow rollup. Wraps GET /api/device/{id} (permission: devices). **Bulk payloads are…

• device_find

  Find devices matching a substring of label or ip_address. Convenience wrapper for GET /api/devices?search=<q>; equivalent to device_list({search: q}). Use device_list directly when you need tag/status filters or relation includes…

• overwatch_summary

  High-level network health snapshot for 'how's the network?' style questions. Wraps GET /api/devices?alerts=1&tags=1 (requires permission: devices) and aggregates in-tool: device count, active alert count (total + by severity when present…

• snmp_test

  Probe a device for SNMP reachability using the Netmon snmptest binary. Wraps POST /api/testSnmp (requires permission: write_devices). BLOCKING — can run up to 60 seconds while the server waits for the target to respond. Provide a valid…

• snmp_walk_last

  Fetch the most recent stored SNMP walk for a device (cached in tools_walks). Wraps GET /api/getLastWalk/{device} (permission: tools). Cheap single-row read. Always try this first when an SNMP walk is needed. Only fall back to…

• snmp_walk_run

  Trigger a FRESH SNMP walk against a device. Wraps POST /api/getSNMPWalkInfo/{deviceId} (permission: tools). SLOW and SIDE-EFFECTING. Server-side this shells out to walktool with a 1200s (20 minute) timeout and writes the result into the…

• agent_services

  List Windows services on an agent-managed device — live read via the WMI tunnel. Wraps POST /api/getDeviceServices (permission: devices). Returns rows of {Name, State, DisplayName} as reported by Win32_Service. Use this to answer 'is…

• agent_processes

  List running processes on an agent-managed device — live read via the agent tunnel. Wraps POST /api/getDeviceProcesses (permission: devices). Returns rows as reported by GETPS: (process id, name, parent, memory, etc. — exact shape depends…

• alerts_list

  List configured alert definitions across both axes of the rule engine. Modern alerts (table `alerts`, class-scoped: syslog_log / event_log / eve_log / device_down / storage) and legacy alerts (per-device tracker thresholds, surfaced via…

• alerts_history

  Authoritative 'what fired and when' stream — wraps the `alert_history` table (one row per incident, both legacy and modern) and `alert_outlet_log` (per-dispatch ledger keyed by history_id). Default mode: lists incidents newest-first. Each…

• maintenance_windows_list

  Lists maintenance windows — the suppression schedules that gate alert dispatch. Use when a user asks 'why didn't this page me' or 'is this device under maintenance right now' — a quiet alert may be inside a window rather than truly…

• tags_list

  List tag definitions. The slug is the stable identifier used everywhere device-tag scoping is enforced (e.g. alert_routing_rules.tag_filters, device_list({tag: ...})). The display name is for humans. Wraps GET /api/tags. Returns every tag…

• top_bandwidth

  Top NetFlow conversations over the last N minutes — the 'who's eating bandwidth right now?' question. Wraps GET /api/getTopBandwidth/{mins}, the same query that powers the dashboard live widget. Use this for short-window 'right now'…

• arp_table

  Lists hosts observed on the local LAN(s) via the ARP table — the 'what devices have we seen recently?' question. Wraps POST /api/getArpTable, which collapses arptable + _dns into one row per IP with hostname + monitored-device id…

• interfaces_search

  Cross-device interface metadata listing — answers 'what interfaces are tracked across the fleet, named like X, on device Y?'. Wraps GET /api/interfaces/all, which returns logging-enabled interfaces across every device the user can see…

• device_metric_summary

  Day / week / month / all-time summary stats for a single device-tracker, by metric type. Multi-backend: pass `metric` to pick which upstream endpoint to hit. metric='latency' → wraps POST /api/latency/stats (icmpingId). Returns…

• agent_disk_usage

  Path-scoped folder-tree disk usage report from a Netmon agent — the 'D: drive is at 95%, what's eating it?' question. Wraps POST /api/getFolderUsageFromPath which RPCs into the agent's GETFOLDERUSAGEPATH command and returns the…

• capture_list

  Read-only listing of packet captures. Wraps GET /api/captures. Operators see their own captures; admin (sa) sees all. The upstream endpoint returns the 200 most-recent rows ordered by id desc. Use this for 'is there a capture running on…

• capture_get

  Read-only single-capture detail. Wraps GET /api/captures/{id}. If the capture is still active (status=starting|running) the upstream endpoint refreshes status from netmond's IPC before responding, so packets/bytes counters are live…

• speedtest_history

  Recent WAN speedtest results — answers 'is the internet healthy?'. Wraps GET /api/getSpeedTestHistory. Returns rows ordered by timestamp desc. Each row carries the upstream's SpeedtestLog shape — typically {id, timestamp, download_mbps…
