What problem does it solve?

It helps you translate firewall intent into correct UniFi firewall policy changes while preventing mistakes by requiring previews and roll-back snapshots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Natural-language to firewall policies: Convert requests to create, update, and toggle UniFi firewall policies.
  • Template-driven and schema-correct rule building: Use policy-templates.yaml when applicable, otherwise build rules following firewall-schema.md.
  • Safety-first change management: Snapshot firewall state before every mutation, preview changes before confirming, and diff state after the change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely create and update UniFi firewall policies using natural language?▼

You can create and update UniFi firewall policies by stating your intent, which the tool converts into safe operations. It requires a preview and rollback snapshot before applying any changes to ensure accuracy.

Can I block specific applications like TikTok on a UniFi network via AI?▼

Yes, you can block specific applications on a UniFi network by translating your request into a previewed rule set. The tool uses DPI and template references to build the correct blocking policies.

Does managing UniFi firewall rules require a specific MCP server setup?▼

Yes, managing UniFi firewall rules requires the unifi-network MCP server. The tool leverages this server to apply V2 zone-based payloads and perform state snapshot and diff validation around mutations.

What is the best way to rollback a firewall policy change on a UniFi network?▼

The best way to rollback a firewall policy change is through the tool's automatic state snapshot feature. It captures the firewall state before every mutation, allowing safe recovery if needed.

How do I enforce time-based access controls in UniFi firewall rules?▼

You can enforce time-based access controls by converting your scheduling intent into UniFi firewall policies. The tool builds schema-correct rules and validates the state diff after applying the time constraints.
