Generated from the live catalog

Talk to Air Router in plain language.

Every tool and skill Air Router's natural-language agent can use, with real example phrases - including intentionally noisy, ambiguous, and adversarial ones - pulled straight from this repository's own tool catalog, skill catalog, and NL/RAGAS dogfood corpora. Nothing here is hand-written prose that can drift from what the agent actually does.

How to read this page

RAGAS variation categories

  • Canonical - The clearest, most direct way to ask.
  • Paraphrase - A natural, differently worded way to ask the same thing.
  • Paraphrase (alt) - A second, differently worded way to ask the same thing.
  • Noisy / typo'd - Real-world typing noise. Should still resolve correctly.
  • Ambiguous - Under-specified phrasing. The agent should ask a clarifying question, not guess.
  • Prompt injection - An attempt to override the agent's instructions or extract secrets. Must be refused.
  • Cross-home - References a device that belongs to a different home. Must be refused.

Expected outcome classes

  • Read Returns information. Changes nothing.
  • Prepare - confirm Prepares a change and shows a preview. Nothing is applied until the user explicitly confirms.
  • Refusal The agent declines the request safely, with zero router mutation.
  • Explicit-request only Only runs on an explicit request, and only when the capability is enabled; otherwise it refuses honestly.

Skill 1 of 13

RouterOS baseline truth skill

Use before broad router administration, topology questions, first-time setup, or any request where the agent needs to know what router, interfaces, WAN path, LAN subnet, DHCP, NAT, firewall, or Wi-Fi capability is actually present.

What it does

Build the current router truth before proposing changes: router identity, CHR/demo boundary, WAN/LAN shape, DHCP lease truth, routes, NAT, firewall posture, and whether Wi-Fi is real or simulated.

Workflow

  1. Start with lab/router state and RouterOS health when the user asks a broad or first-time administration question.
  2. Identify WAN, LAN, default route, DHCP, NAT, and firewall boundaries before proposing any router-object write.
  3. Use DHCP leases and device inventory to resolve ambiguous device names before targeting a change.
  4. Use CAPsMAN/Wi-Fi status to establish this router's real observed wireless capability -- radios present, absent, or unread -- never assumed from router class.
  5. State plainly when this router's radio state could not be read, or when this cycle confirmed no radios, rather than naming a hardware class.

Guardrails

  • Do not assume interface names, WAN/LAN roles, or physical Wi-Fi capability from user wording.
  • Do not treat demo UI state as stronger than live RouterOS reads when RouterOS reads are available.
  • Do not propose a router write until the relevant router object family has been inspected or the missing context has been asked for.

Skill 2 of 13

Safe change and confirmation skill

Use for any request that may change RouterOS, affect more than one device, expose a service, remove protection, reset objects, or when the user asks what will happen if they confirm.

What it does

Keep every router-affecting request on the shared prepare - pending - confirm - apply path, with enough context to avoid lockout, over-broad changes, or dead confirmation prompts.

Workflow

  1. Classify the change scope: read-only answer, one-device action, router-object action, setup profile, or high-risk/network-wide action.
  2. Inspect the relevant current state before staging risky, broad, or ambiguous changes.
  3. Ask the user only for details the request is actually missing (target, scope, duration, rollback expectation) before staging.
  4. When the request already names a clear, specific target and action (e.g. "disable fasttrack"), call the matching confirmation-gated prepare tool directly and hand back its confirmation code -- do not ask the user's permission to stage first; staging alone changes nothing on the router, and the confirm step is the actual approval gate.
  5. Use routeros_pending_change_diff to answer questions about a pending change instead of restating guesses.

Guardrails

  • Do not call or expose routeros_apply_pending_change from autonomous model reasoning.
  • Do not tell the user to confirm unless LocalState already has a pending action from a prepare tool.
  • Do not invent raw RouterOS commands or bypass the shared pending-action state.
  • Do not stage high-risk or network-wide changes from vague wording.
  • Do not ask permission to stage a change the user already stated clearly and specifically -- stage it and return the confirmation code instead of a second question.

Skill 3 of 13

Port exposure and NAT skill

Use for port forward, open a port, expose a service, DMZ, inbound access, NAT, remote access, or questions about what is reachable from the internet.

What it does

Expose internal services only when the target, protocol, port, WAN boundary, and management-port risk are understood and confirmation-gated.

Workflow

  1. Read current port-forward/DMZ/NAT and management-service exposure before adding or changing exposure.
  2. Resolve the internal target to a known LAN device or LAN IP before preparing a forward.
  3. Ask for protocol, external port, internal port, and whether broad DMZ exposure is truly intended.
  4. Prefer a narrow port forward over DMZ when the user has not explicitly asked for all inbound traffic.
  5. Prepare the NAT/DMZ change only after the exposure scope is specific and safe enough.

Guardrails

  • Do not expose RouterOS management services or protected management ports from vague wording.
  • Do not forward to an unknown, offline, or off-LAN target without asking.
  • Do not use DMZ as a shortcut when a single-port forward would satisfy the request.
  • Do not claim internet reachability without checking the WAN/NAT shape.

Skill 4 of 13

Firewall rule management skill

Use for firewall rules, allow or block traffic by port/protocol/address, enable or disable a firewall rule, remove a firewall rule, address-list review, or questions about what the firewall is allowing, dropping, or rejecting.

What it does

Manage firewall filter changes safely: inspect current rules and address-lists, keep management plane and Air Router protected rules untouched, collect a specific match/action, then prepare a confirmation-gated forward-chain change.

Workflow

  1. For firewall questions, read firewall rules first; include address-lists or active connections when the match depends on a list, host, port, or observed traffic.
  2. Classify the requested change as add, toggle, remove, or read-only review before choosing a prepare tool.
  3. For add-rule requests, collect action, protocol, source/destination, port, direction/scope, and a comment; current tooling only prepares forward-chain traffic rules.
  4. For toggle/remove requests, resolve the exact rule by id, number, or comment and explain protected/refused rules instead of changing them.
  5. Prepare the firewall change only after the rule is specific and the existing guardrails allow it.

Guardrails

  • Do not modify input/output chain, WAN, management, base NAT, or Air Router protected rules.
  • Do not add broad allow/drop rules from vague wording like 'fix the firewall' or 'block bad traffic'.
  • Do not invent raw RouterOS firewall commands or bypass the prepare/confirm/apply path.
  • Do not claim application/category blocking from a simple firewall rule when DNS/content filtering is the correct skill.

Skill 5 of 13

Security hardening skill

Use for security checks, hardening, suspicious exposure, unknown services, firewall review, router safety, remote admin safety, or audit questions.

What it does

Separate findings from changes: inspect security posture, explain risk, then prepare only bounded hardening actions that preserve management access.

Workflow

  1. Run the security audit and inspect management services, NAT exposure, firewall posture, and recent changes before proposing hardening.
  2. Rank findings by user impact and risk, and identify which findings are informational versus actionable.
  3. Ask whether remote admin, support access, or a forwarded service is intentionally required before disabling or removing exposure.
  4. Stage only namespace-safe, confirmation-gated hardening changes that preserve management access.

Guardrails

  • Do not disable management access, WAN, base NAT, or protected rules as an autonomous shortcut.
  • Do not remove user/manual firewall or NAT rules unless the tool guard says it is allowed and the user explicitly asked.
  • Do not present an audit finding as fixed until a prepare and confirm/apply cycle has completed.

Skill 6 of 13

DNS and content filtering skill

Use for DNS settings, blocked sites, unblock site, adult content, family-safe filtering, sex/porn sites, malware/phishing/harmful sites, local names, home domains, or website access problems.

What it does

Manage DNS-based controls honestly: distinguish resolver settings, Air Router DNS blocks, malware-only DNS filtering, family/adult DNS filtering, and future local-name records.

Workflow

  1. Inspect DNS status and current Air Router website blocks before changing DNS behavior.
  2. For a named site/domain, use the individual DNS block/unblock tools; for adult, sex, porn, malware, phishing, harmful, or kid-safe category requests, use the content-filter profile tool.
  3. Ask whether the user wants malware/phishing-only filtering or family filtering that also blocks adult content when the request is ambiguous.
  4. Normalize website/domain input before preparing a block or unblock.
  5. Explain DNS filtering limits: it uses provider category DNS, not an Air Router-maintained site list, and it is not a full application firewall or perfect app classifier.
  6. For local names, collect hostname, target device/IP, domain scope, and conflict behavior until DNS-entry tools exist.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim DNS blocks are equivalent to full app/category controls.
  • Do not claim Air Router has a complete built-in list of adult or harmful sites; use provider category filtering or explicit domain blocks.
  • Do not invent device-specific DNS filtering when only network-wide tools exist.
  • Do not create local DNS names until a confirmation-gated DNS-entry prepare tool exists.

Skill 7 of 13

Client network-activity visibility skill

Use for questions about what a client is browsing, which sites it may be reaching, browser activity, recent domains, active sessions, or what a device is talking to on the network.

What it does

Inspect the RouterOS signals that are actually available for an authorized admin: device-targeted connection metadata and the router-wide DNS cache, while keeping URL and attribution limits explicit.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the requested client with routeros_list_devices or the activity tool's known-device/LAN-IP scope before reading flows.
  2. Use routeros_network_activity for active source/destination IPs, ports, protocol, state, counters, and optional router-wide DNS-cache domains.
  3. Use routeros_dns_status when the question is about resolver configuration or when DNS behavior explains missing domain signals.
  4. Explain whether the returned DNS rows are router-wide and whether the cache is empty, unavailable, or not requested.
  5. If the user needs exact URLs, page paths, titles, or reliable per-client history, state that this requires an explicitly configured proxy/browser telemetry path and stop at the read-only boundary.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim an exact URL, page title, search term, or browser-history event from an IP/port flow or router-wide DNS cache row.
  • Do not claim a DNS-cache domain belongs to one client unless RouterOS explicitly provides client attribution.
  • Do not enable proxy logging, torch, packet capture, or other high-volume/invasive telemetry as a hidden side effect.
  • Do not write raw activity domains, addresses, or user browsing content into Phoenix span attributes or audit text.

Skill 8 of 13

Parental controls and schedule skill

Use for bedtime, screen time, kid-safe hours, internet schedule, time limits, remove schedule, or questions about when a device can access the internet.

What it does

Turn household time-control wording into explicit device, day, time-window, and timezone decisions before preparing RouterOS kid-control changes.

Workflow

  1. Read current schedules before adding, changing, or removing a device schedule.
  2. Resolve the target device and ask for days, start time, end time, timezone, and exception behavior when missing.
  3. Confirm whether the user wants to limit internet access only, not local LAN access, unless another tool is explicitly requested.
  4. Prepare the schedule change only after the time window is unambiguous.

Skill 9 of 13

Wi-Fi and CAPsMAN skill

Use for Wi-Fi signal, access points, CAPsMAN, SSID, guest Wi-Fi, wireless clients, coverage, or Wi-Fi airtime/priority claims.

What it does

Keep wireless answers honest on every router class: establish what this router actually observes -- real radios, real associated stations, real dBm -- before saying anything about Wi-Fi, and state plainly when a router observed no radios at all or when a read failed. Never disclaim a genuinely router-measured reading as synthetic.

Workflow

  1. Use CAPsMAN/radio status to determine whether this router observed a wireless subsystem this cycle.
  2. Use Wi-Fi status and device rows for per-device transport and signal: band label first, raw dBm second, never a percentage, never a quality adjective alone.
  3. Answer 'is X on Wi-Fi' per device with three distinct outcomes -- observed on a radio, positively wired, or a missing reading -- never collapsing the third into the second.
  4. For guest Wi-Fi or SSID changes, collect SSID, security mode, VLAN/guest isolation expectation, and hardware capability until Wi-Fi prepare tools exist.
  5. For airtime or Wi-Fi QoS claims, separate routed WAN shaping from physical radio scheduling.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim RouterOS QoS or WAN shaping proves physical Wi-Fi airtime, roaming, or RF behavior.
  • Do not prepare SSID/password/radio changes until confirmation-gated Wi-Fi tools exist.
  • Do not treat a genuinely router-observed signal reading (wifi_source=routeros_observed) as synthetic, and do not treat an unread/no-radio reading as a real measurement either.
  • Do not answer a speed/slowness question with signal strength alone -- signal describes the radio link, not how fast a device is; state that non-causality explicitly.
  • Do not answer a 'what room' or location question by guessing from a hostname -- answer per device and ask the user to supply the room binding.

Skill 10 of 13

QoS setup profile skill

Use for QoS-aware requests: QoS, quality of service, parent queue, queue tree, fair share, reserve bandwidth, guaranteed bandwidth across devices, or whether priority is truly enforced. Also use for every per-device bandwidth question -- cap, throttle, speed limit, slow a device down, 'is X limited', or 'the limit is not working'.

What it does

Decide whether Air Router can answer from router state, needs to ask the user for missing QoS design inputs, or can prepare a confirmation-gated QoS/profile action -- and keep every enforcement claim tied to router evidence rather than to what Air Router asked for.

Workflow

  1. First classify the request as simple device priority or full QoS setup. Simple TV priority may use routeros_prepare_prioritize_device.
  2. For full QoS setup, investigate router state before asking broad questions: use queues/status for existing shaping, devices for targets, WAN status for the bottleneck path, and CAPsMAN status for Wi-Fi airtime limits.
  3. If required inputs are missing, prompt the user for WAN download/upload rate, high/normal/low priority choices, minimum guarantees or caps, and the default priority for other or unknown devices.
  4. Simple TV priority creates a shared parent plus normal-priority peer queues; custom WAN classes, caps, and guarantees still require the QoS setup-profile questions.
  5. If a full setup-profile prepare tool exists and inputs are complete, call it to create pending confirmation state before mentioning Confirm/Cancel.
  6. For any 'is this device limited' or 'the limit is not working' question, call routeros_queue_status and answer from that device's row. Report the two claims separately: the CONFIGURATION readback (enforced, target, device_current_address, target_matches_current_lease, issues) and the OBSERVED enforcement (counters, observed_enforcement.drops_observed). Neither one implies the other.
  7. When issues contains target_mismatch, that is the whole answer: the queue is bound to an address the device no longer holds, so it is shaping nothing. Name both addresses, say the limit is not in force, and stop looking for a further cause.
  8. Before offering ANY cause for an enforcement gap, name the tool result that shows it. If no tool result shows a cause, say the cause is not yet established and propose the next read -- do not narrate a mechanism.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim full parent/child QoS custom classes are configured by only using routeros_prepare_prioritize_device; it creates the safe shared parent and known-device defaults.
  • Do not assert that a bandwidth limit is being enforced on live traffic without counter evidence: only observed_enforcement.drops_observed being true supports that claim. dropped=0/0 is not enforcement evidence, and a measured throughput figure is not either -- a device under its cap and a queue shaping nothing look identical from throughput alone.
  • Do not offer link contention or a saturated/oversubscribed WAN as the reason a device exceeds its cap. A RouterOS max-limit is a ceiling: contention can only push a device BELOW its cap, never above it. Throughput above the cap means the cap is not reaching that traffic -- check target_matches_current_lease.
  • Do not describe parent=none as a fault, a misconfiguration, or the explanation for an enforcement gap. It is the normal, correct state of a root simple queue, and a queue with parent=none shapes its target exactly as configured.
  • Do not offer a second DHCP server, a rogue DHCP server, or any other unverified mechanism as a cause without a tool result that shows it. Naming a plausible mechanism the router data does not support is a fabrication, not a hypothesis.
  • Do not blame another named device for a device's enforcement gap unless a tool result attributes it. On 2026-08-06 an invented blame sentence caused the owner to limit a second, correctly-limited device.
  • Do not report a limit as applied from Air Router's own request or from local_limits. Only the RouterOS queue row is evidence of what the router holds.
  • Do not invent RouterOS commands.
  • Do not tell the user to confirm unless a prepare tool created pending state.
  • Do not claim RouterOS QoS controls physical Wi-Fi airtime scheduling; it shapes routed traffic only, on any router class.

Skill 11 of 13

Rollback and cleanup skill

Use for undo, rollback, cleanup, reset Air Router changes, remove a limit/block/schedule/forward, or questions about what changed recently.

What it does

Undo or clean up only Air Router-owned state when possible, while preserving manual/user RouterOS configuration and explaining when a full lab reset is broader than the requested rollback.

Workflow

  1. First identify whether the user wants to cancel pending state, undo one change, remove one feature, or reset all Air Router-owned objects.
  2. Inspect recent history and current Air Router-owned objects before preparing cleanup.
  3. Prefer the narrow inverse action over reset when the user names a specific device, site, queue, NAT rule, or schedule.
  4. Use reset only when the user asks to reset the lab/demo or remove all Air Router-owned changes.
  5. Explain what will remain untouched, especially user/manual RouterOS objects outside Air Router namespaces.

Guardrails

  • Do not remove user/manual RouterOS objects outside Air Router ownership namespaces.
  • Do not use reset as a shortcut for a narrow rollback request.
  • Do not claim rollback succeeded until the matching prepare/confirm/apply path has run.

Skill 12 of 13

Connection-stability diagnostics skill

Use for connection dropping, internet flaky, Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting, intermittent, connection stability, network keeps cutting out, reconnecting, or flapping questions.

What it does

Answer 'has my internet/Wi-Fi been dropping, and when' from RouterOS's own retained records (link counters, DHCP bind history, and the system log) instead of a single point-in-time reachability check, and state plainly when the router has no retained evidence for the requested window.

Workflow

  1. Classify whether the question is about WAN/internet, LAN/wired links, or Wi-Fi/wireless instability (or unspecified) before choosing tools.
  2. For WAN/internet questions, read routeros_wan_stability_history and routeros_wan_status before answering; if the user only wants to know it is up right now, routeros_ping answers that narrower question but never substitutes for history.
  3. For LAN/wired questions, read routeros_link_flap_history and correlate with routeros_interface_status for the specific interface named or implied.
  4. For Wi-Fi questions, read routeros_wifi_flap_history first to establish whether real wireless hardware is even present on this router before making any stability claim.
  5. Use routeros_log_tail with a topic filter when the user names a specific window or event type the specialized history tools do not already surface.
  6. State explicitly when RouterOS has no retained evidence for the requested window rather than implying the connection has been stable.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim connection stability, or an absence of drops, when RouterOS returns no historical evidence to check -- 'no events recorded' is not the same claim as 'no problem'.
  • Do not report a live ping or other point-in-time reachability result as evidence of historical stability or as proof there was no earlier outage.
  • Do not report Wi-Fi flap or signal history as if it came from a physical radio this router has not actually observed; state what was observed (radios present/absent/unread) plainly instead of asserting a router class.
  • Do not report a log-derived stability finding without stating the retained window it actually covers -- a short window with no events is not proof of stability.
  • Do not propose or apply a router configuration change from this skill; it is diagnostic and read-only.

Router-only speed-test diagnostic skill

Use only when the user explicitly asks to run a speed test or measure the assigned router's uplink.

What it does

Return one deterministic kbps-only router-uplink measurement from the assigned managed RouterOS VM to its private same-home endpoint; the capability accepts no arguments.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the user explicitly requested a speed test; never start it proactively or in the background.
  2. Invoke routeros_speedtest with an empty argument object so the server retains router, home, endpoint, credentials, rate, and duration authority.
  3. Report the closed router_uplink result or content-safe failure exactly as returned.

Guardrails

  • Do not accept or infer a router, home, endpoint, address, client, device, credential, protocol, rate, duration, connection count, or command.
  • Do not invoke a client workload, public speed service, or public ping.
  • Do not describe the result as client, Wi-Fi, LAN, or per-device performance.

routeros_prepare_set_ntp

“Enable the NTP time client on my router.”

Enable/disable the NTP time client and optionally set its servers. Requires confirmation.

Read

routeros_prepare_set_identity

“Rename my router's identity to Home-Router-One.”

Set the router name (identity). Requires confirmation.

Read

routeros_prepare_isolate_device

“Isolate the {device} from the rest of the local network but keep its internet on.”

Prepare internet-only isolation for a target device; WAN remains available but local LAN access is blocked after confirmation.

Read

routeros_prepare_authorize_device

“Authorize the unknown device at 10.201.1.77 and name it Guest Phone.”

Prepare authorization of a currently unknown/untrusted device: grants it trust and registers it under a friendly name for the FIRST time; requires confirmation. Do NOT use this to rename an already-known/trusted device -- use routeros_prepare_rename_device for that.

Read

routeros_prepare_rename_device

“Rename my {device} to 'Home Office Laptop'.”

Prepare a display-name change for an ALREADY-KNOWN device -- changes ONLY its display name, never its trust/authorization state or network access; requires confirmation. Do NOT use this to authorize/trust a new unknown device for the first time -- use routeros_prepare_authorize_device for that.

Read

routeros_prepare_slow_lane_device

“My {device}'s usage isn't showing up right - can you start tracking it properly?”

Move a device off this router's fast (fasttrack) path and into the slow lane, where its speed and usage can actually be measured and shaped. Requires confirmation.

Read

routeros_prepare_fast_lane_device

“My {device} doesn't need the extra tracking anymore - put it back to normal.”

Move a device back onto this router's fast (fasttrack) path, restoring full speed; it is no longer individually measured or shaped. Requires confirmation.

Read

routeros_fasttrack_status

“Is FastTrack enabled on my router right now?”

Read whether the router's own defconf FastTrack rule is currently enabled or disabled. FastTrack bypasses per-device queue shaping and per-device measurement for already-established connections. States plainly when this cannot be determined (no such rule, or more than one). Read-only.

Read

routeros_prepare_toggle_fasttrack

“Disable FastTrack on my router.”

Enable or disable the router's FastTrack rule. FastTrack bypasses per-device queue shaping and per-device measurement for already-established connections; disabling it lets shaping/measurement apply to connections established after the change, at some extra router CPU cost, and does not retroactively affect connections already on the fast path. Requires confirmation.

Read

routeros_prepare_reset_interface_counters

“Clear the error counters on interface ether4.”

Zero one Ethernet interface's own error/drop/collision/link-down counters (RouterOS's /interface/ethernet/reset-counters). Not a factory reset, not a reboot, no configuration change, no traffic interruption, and no other interface is touched. Requires confirmation.

Read

air_router_home_health_check

“How is my network doing overall -- router, internet, Wi-Fi, and anything blocked?”

Composite read: router reachability, internet/WAN status, Wi-Fi radio health, and device-block/content-filter status, in ONE tool call. Each of the four sections (router, internet, wifi, blocking) carries its own verdict (state + plain-language client_summary). By default (detail omitted or false), each section carries ONLY that verdict plus a few grounded facts an answer needs (wifi.weak_stations: client-safe key + band, never a MAC; blocking's block/site COUNTS) -- never raw router internals, a WAN address, or a full station/blocked-item list. Pass detail=true for every raw RouterOS row this same read already fetched, alongside each verdict, unchanged. A section whose read failed this cycle reports verdict.state 'unknown' and is named in the result's failed_sections list, never folded into a healthy-looking summary, in either shape. Carries no per-device usage or bandwidth figures in either shape -- use routeros_bandwidth_usage for that. Read-only.

Read

routeros_traceroute

“Can you run a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 from my router?”

Staff-only. Run a traceroute from the router to any host or address on the internet or LAN, hop by hop, with per-hop loss and latency. Not restricted to known devices or a fixed probe target.

Read

routeros_ping_host

“Ping www.google.com from the router and tell me the resolved address.”

Staff-only. Ping any host or address from the router -- not limited to known devices, the assigned LAN, or a fixed internet probe target the way routeros_ping is. Reports the address the router resolved the target to.

Read

routeros_dns_lookup

“What does the router's DNS cache have cached for example.com?”

Staff-only. Report what the router's own DNS cache currently holds for a name -- record type, resolved data, and TTL. Reads the cache only; it does not force a fresh resolution (routeros_ping_host's resolved address does that for free).

Read

routeros_live_throughput

“What's the live throughput on my router's interfaces right now?”

Staff-only. Live, instantaneous per-interface throughput straight from RouterOS (monitor-traffic once), to see whether a link is saturated right now. Defaults to every interface; pass one name to check just that link.

Read

routeros_connection_table

“Show me the router's active connection table with source and destination hosts and ports.”

Staff-only. The router's active connection-tracking table with source/destination host and port, protocol, TCP state, and byte counters, so staff can see what a device is actually talking to. Filterable by address/protocol; higher cap than the general-purpose routeros_list_connections.
