For Docker nodes, reload bottoms out as a raw POST /containers/{id}/restart
to the Docker daemon, bypassing GNS3's start/stop lifecycle (uBridge
re-attach, console servers, NIC setup). The container restarts at the
Docker level but GNS3's plumbing goes out of sync, and the daemon call can
block up to the controller's 240s timeout — manifesting as "reload hangs /
no response". stop+start runs the full lifecycle and is reliable.
Remove the node_reload and node_reload_all MCP tools (tool functions,
handlers, NODE_TOOLS entry, tests, docs). The underlying REST endpoints
(POST /nodes/{id}/reload, POST /nodes/reload) are kept for native API
users. MCP callers should use node_stop + node_start (partial) or
close/open project (full restart) instead.
A heredoc (<<<) closes stdin at once, so websocat dropped the WebSocket
before the device's reply arrived. Add --no-close to the node_console usage
examples and the returned command field so the connection stays open while
output is read.
Token revocation is a strict version check (token_data.token_version !=
user.token_version). create_access_token defaults token_version to 0, so the
short-lived JWTs minted for the console WebSocket URL (nodes) and the download
URLs (symbols, links) carried ver=0. Any user who had logged out at least once
(token_version >= 1, e.g. the default admin) got tokens rejected as "revoked"
on first use.
e433991cf fixed this in _resolve_token's API-key branch but missed these three
independent minting sites. Now resolve token_version during _resolve_token (the
JWT branch decodes it, the API-key branch reads user.token_version), carry it
through gns3_ctx, and pass it at every minting call.
_resolve_token generated a temp JWT with a hardcoded ver=0 after
validating the API key. Users who had logged out at least once
(token_version >= 1) would hit "Token has been revoked" 401 on
every MCP tool call, because the REST auth chain rejects ver=0
when the user's token_version no longer matches.
Fix: pass the user's actual token_version to create_access_token
so the temp JWT carries the correct ver claim.
The name device_command_run was ambiguous and easily confused with
device_config_send. device_show_run makes the read-only intent explicit,
forming a clear pair: config_send (write) vs show_run (read).
- Tool description and param schema now use 'commands' (matching ExecuteMultipleDeviceCommands)
- Updated error message in handler
- Clarified in docstring that this is read-only; use device_config_send for config changes
template_list was annotated as dict[str, Any] but _run_handler_sync always
returns a list envelope ([{"type":"text",...}]). Other tools use
list[dict[str, Any]] consistently. This caused a Pydantic dict_type
validation error on the client.
When MCP client authenticates with API key, _resolve_token now
returns a newly generated JWT. This JWT is stored in the ContextVar
and used by all subsequent tool handler API calls - zero extra bcrypt.
- Expose optional 'fields' parameter to AI via tool description
- List all available node fields in the parameter description
- Mention inherited template_id in batch mode
_ jw t_username_var set in _resolve_token for both JWT and API key auth.
Passed to handlers via gns3_ctx['jwt_username']. No raw key exposure,
no fake-user fallback.
- Add optional 'template' param with Jinja2 syntax
- Each device entry can use 'vars' dict instead of 'config_commands'
- Template rendered per device, merged with existing commands
- Rendering errors returned inline for AI self-correction
- Each tool accepts either node_id (single) or node_ids (batch)
- Batch mode runs actions in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor
- Useful for starting/stopping nodes by topology region
- node_create accepts nodes=[{template_id, x, y, name?}] for batch creation
- link_create accepts links=[{nodes, link_type?, filters?}] for batch creation
- Uses ThreadPoolExecutor for parallel REST API calls
- Max 10 concurrent workers per batch, backward compatible with single mode
REST API auth already supports gns3_ keys, so there's no need
to create a temporary 5-min JWT. The raw API key is passed
through as the Bearer token, eliminating token expiry issues.
_db_engine is not available when register_starlette_routes() is
called (it's set later during lifespan startup). Store the app
reference instead and access app.state._db_engine lazily.
- New db model: api_keys table with bcrypt-hashed keys
- New API: POST/GET/DELETE /v3/access/api-keys endpoints
- MCP _resolve_token: validates API keys, resolves to 5-min JWT
- API keys inherit the creating user's RBAC permissions
- MCP auth supports both JWT (24h) and API key (permanent) tokens
