FAQPage Schema
How do I safely manage OPNsense admin API operations using MCP?

To safely manage OPNsense admin API operations, you must follow a context-first workflow that enforces change-window approval and uses named Podman secrets to protect sensitive credentials during repository changes.

What is the context-first workflow for OPNsense MCP maintenance?

The context-first workflow requires reading layered guidance files and versioned tool directories in a specific canonical order before making edits, ensuring all repository changes stay aligned with the surrounding architecture and safety constraints.

Do I need Podman secrets configured to use the OPNsense admin MCP tool?

Yes, you need named Podman secrets configured and must adhere to change-window approval protocols to safely perform any change-capable admin API operations within the OPNsense MCP environment.

How do I navigate version-specific instructions for OPNsense MCP admin tasks?

You navigate version-specific instructions by accessing the tool’s versioned directories and reading the canonical context hierarchy in order, which defines how the admin variant behaves and what specific protections apply.

What are the constraints for modifying the OPNsense MCP repository?

Modifications to the OPNsense MCP repository are constrained by layered guidance files requiring strict adherence to change-window approvals, named Podman secret usage, and the canonical context hierarchy to prevent unsafe operations.
