SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you work with the read-only OPNsense MCP tool in a context-first way, so you can follow the correct workflow without accidentally using the wrong endpoints or secret setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Guidance: Points you to the canonical repository and tool-local instructions needed to operate the read-only OPNsense MCP Shim.
  • Configuration Awareness: Reinforces the use of distinct Podman secrets and the required read-only API validation path.
  • Context Preservation: Keeps the operational guidance close to the tool so maintenance and usage stay consistent across versions.

Quick Start

Use this skill to follow the read-only OPNsense MCP instructions from the linked context files and validate that the correct secret and endpoint setup is preserved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure read-only MCP access for OPNsense?

Setting up read-only OPNsense MCP access requires preserving distinct Podman secrets and validating the read-only API endpoint path. This Skill provides workflow guidance to ensure strict API privilege boundaries are maintained during Shimmy tool maintenance.

What is a read-only OPNsense MCP workflow?

A read-only OPNsense MCP workflow is a context-first operational process that guides safe Shimmy tool maintenance and usage. It enforces API privilege boundaries and validates endpoint paths to prevent unauthorized configuration changes.

Do I need separate Podman secrets for OPNsense MCP read-only endpoints?

Yes, you need distinct Podman secrets for OPNsense MCP read-only endpoints. Preserving separate secret configurations is required to maintain API privilege boundaries and ensure safe context-first tool operations.

How do I validate the OPNsense MCP read-only endpoint path?

You validate the OPNsense MCP read-only endpoint path by running stdio smoke validations. This process confirms that the API privilege boundaries are correctly configured and the read-only access is functioning as intended.

Can I use this approach for version-specific OPNsense MCP guidance?

Yes, this approach applies to version-specific OPNsense MCP guidance review. It keeps operational guidance close to the tool, ensuring maintenance and usage stay consistent across different versions of the Shimmy tool.

Why does my OPNsense MCP workflow accidentally use the wrong endpoints?

Your OPNsense MCP workflow might use the wrong endpoints if distinct Podman secrets are not preserved and the read-only API validation path is not properly checked. This Skill guides context-first operations to prevent such misconfigurations.
