// Gather missing requirements for EVE-NG topology design. Use when the request is vague or incomplete, when you need discovery questions, defaults, trade-off framing, image recommendations, or domain guidance before proposing a topology.
Build or rewire EVE-NG lab topology. Use when creating or deleting virtual networks, connecting node interfaces to networks, inspecting topology links, checking interface mappings, or listing available node templates before wiring a lab.
Design EVE-NG lab topology and coordinate the design workflow. Use when the user asks for lab design, architecture advice, topology planning, design review, or a build plan, especially when requirements, trade-offs, or validation need to be structured first.
Validate EVE-NG topology designs and enforce final delivery structure. Use when reviewing a design, checking build readiness, producing the final design output, building an implementation plan, or running topology QA before implementation.
Manage EVE-NG startup configurations stored in lab files. Use when exporting configs natively into the lab, reading embedded startup configs, pushing startup config before boot, clearing config without full NVRAM wipe, or bulk-checking stored configs after lab changes.
Execute live CLI commands on running EVE-NG nodes over telnet console. Use when running show commands, making live config changes, verifying protocol state, testing connectivity, checking console readiness, or interacting with IOS, Junos, VPCS, EOS, or NX-OS nodes.
Manage EVE-NG labs and platform inventory. Use when listing labs, checking lab metadata, creating or deleting labs, importing or exporting lab archives, checking EVE-NG health or auth, or verifying available node images before build work.
