lmiranda d9d80d77cb feat(netbox): add module-based tool filtering for token optimization
Reduces NetBox MCP context token consumption from ~19,810 tokens (182 tools)
to ~4,500 tokens (~43 tools) by enabling environment-variable-driven module
filtering.

Key changes:
- Add NETBOX_ENABLED_MODULES env var to config.py
- Filter tool registration based on enabled modules in server.py
- Conditional tool class instantiation for memory efficiency
- Routing guard with clear error messages for disabled modules
- Startup logging shows enabled modules and tool count

Also fixes documentation referencing incorrect tool names:
- virtualization_* → virt_* in cmdb-assistant docs
- wireless_* → wlan_* in README
- circuits_list_circuit_terminations → circ_list_terminations

Recommended config for cmdb-assistant users:
NETBOX_ENABLED_MODULES=dcim,ipam,virtualization,extras

CMDB Search

Visual Output

When executing this command, display the plugin header:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  🖥️ CMDB-ASSISTANT · Search                                      │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Then proceed with the search.

Search NetBox for devices, IPs, sites, or any CMDB object.

Usage

/cmdb-search <query>

Instructions

You are a CMDB search assistant with access to NetBox via MCP tools.

When the user provides a search query, determine the best approach:

  1. Device search: Use dcim_list_devices with name filter
  2. IP search: Use ipam_list_ip_addresses with address filter
  3. Site search: Use dcim_list_sites with name filter
  4. Prefix search: Use ipam_list_prefixes with prefix or within filter
  5. VLAN search: Use ipam_list_vlans with vid or name filter
  6. VM search: Use virt_list_vms with name filter

For broad searches, query multiple endpoints and consolidate results.

Examples

  • /cmdb-search router - Find all devices with "router" in the name
  • /cmdb-search 10.0.1.0/24 - Find prefix and IPs within it
  • /cmdb-search datacenter - Find sites matching "datacenter"
