Canvas/A2UI inline network visualizations — topology maps, health dashboards, alert cards, change timelines, config diffs, path traces, and health scorecards rendered directly in the OpenClaw chat interface. Consumes existing MCP server data (pyATS, Grafana, Prometheus, ServiceNow, SuzieQ, Batfish) and outputs A2UI JSON for Canvas rendering. Use when the operator asks to see a network map, device dashboard, alert summary, change request timeline, config diff, forwarding path trace, or health scorecard.

This skill renders inline network visualizations in the OpenClaw chat interface using the Canvas/A2UI framework. It does NOT establish direct device connections or create new MCP servers. All data is sourced from existing MCP tools.
| Type | Component | Data Sources | Trigger |
|------|-----------|-------------|---------|
| Topology Map | topology-map | pyATS CDP/LLDP, health metrics | "show network topology" |
| Dashboard Panel | dashboard-panel | pyATS, Grafana, Prometheus | "show health dashboard for {device}" |
| Alert Card | alert-card | Grafana alerts, Prometheus alertmanager | "show current alerts" |
| Change Timeline | change-timeline | ServiceNow | "show change request {CR} status" |
| Diff View | diff-view | pyATS config/route/ACL | "show config diff for {device}" |
| Path Trace | path-trace | pyATS, SuzieQ | "trace path from {src} to {dst}" |
| Health Scorecard | health-scorecard | pyATS, Grafana, Prometheus | "show health scorecard for {site}" |
All visualizations produce A2UI JSON:
{
"a2ui": {
"version": "1.0",
"type": "canvas",
"component": "<visualization-type>",
"props": {
"id": "<uuid>",
"title": "<title>",
"timestamp": "<ISO 8601>",
"dataSources": [...],
"scope": {...},
"warnings": [...],
"content": {...}
}
}
}
| Skill | Integration | |-------|-------------| | gait-session-tracking | All visualization events are GAIT-logged | | pyats-topology | CDP/LLDP discovery data for topology maps | | pyats-health-check | Health metrics for node coloring and dashboards | | grafana-observability | Prometheus metrics, alerts, dashboard data | | prometheus-monitoring | Direct PromQL queries for metrics | | servicenow-change-workflow | Change request lifecycle data |

Federate your NetClaw with other NetClaw operators over the BGP mesh — exchange capability inventories and ask your claw what a peer can do. (US1; remote invocation and chat land in later phases.)
tools
3D network topology visualization and interactive digital twin in Unreal Engine 5.8 via the built-in UE5 MCP server.
testing
Human-in-the-loop escalation via HumanRail — route low-confidence agent decisions, pre-destructive operation approvals, and ambiguous incident tickets to real human engineers. Human answers are verified and returned as structured output. Workers are paid via Lightning Network. Use when the agent is uncertain, when a destructive change needs explicit human sign-off beyond a ServiceNow CR, or when an ambiguous ticket requires human triage before automated handling.
testing
IPv4 and IPv6 subnet calculator - CIDR breakdown, usable hosts, previous/next subnets, address classification, VLSM planning, and dual-stack analysis. Use when calculating subnets, figuring out how many hosts fit in a prefix, planning IP addressing, getting wildcard masks for ACLs, or checking if two IPs are in the same subnet.
