Palo Alto Panorama

MCP Server

• Source: iflow-mcp-cdot65-palo-alto-mcp / palo-alto-mcp
• Command: $PANOS_MCP_CMD
• Transport: stdio
• Requires: PANOS_HOSTNAME, PANOS_API_KEY
• Preferred use: read-only audit and validation; gate policy writes behind ServiceNow CRs

How to Call the MCP Tools

python3 $MCP_CALL "$PANOS_MCP_CMD" TOOL_NAME '{"param":"value"}'

Typical Tool Coverage

• Device groups and managed firewalls
• Templates and template stacks
• Security policy rule search
• NAT policy review
• Address objects, services, tags, and zones
• Commit queues and recent job status

When to Use

• “Can host A reach host B through Palo Alto?”
• Policy hygiene reviews and duplicate-rule cleanup
• Pre-change dependency analysis on Panorama-managed estates
• Commit validation after approved firewall changes

Workflow: Rule Impact Analysis

1. Resolve the relevant device group and target firewalls.
2. Search security and NAT policies using source, destination, application, and service.
3. Review address objects, dynamic tags, and zones tied to the traffic path.
4. If a policy change is required, create and approve a ServiceNow CR before any write action.
5. Verify commit status and post-change traffic behavior.

Integration with Other Skills

Skill	Integration
servicenow-change-workflow	Required for Panorama policy writes and commits
slack-network-alerts	Deliver firewall findings and blocked-path summaries
te-path-analysis	Correlate blocked or impaired paths with external reachability
netbox-reconcile	Map firewall objects to source-of-truth IP ownership

Important Rules

• Never push firewall policy without approved change control
• Always check Panorama commit status after a write
• Policy hit counts and logs should validate the outcome
