hpe-networking-mcp 0.6.0

Version 0.6.0 expands verified platform coverage, adds exact security and product-lifecycle lookup, and strengthens provenance, auditing, reporting, and release automation without widening default write access.

The default minimal router still exposes only find_tool, invoke_read_tool, and invoke_tool.

Security, lifecycle, and RAG

  • Added structured lookup_advisory and check_product_lifecycle tools.
  • Indexed 102 official security advisories and 346 lifecycle records alongside 244 OpenAPI specs, 3,796 endpoints, 11,293 schemas, and 60,568 fields.
  • Added official HPE Aruba and Juniper security/lifecycle source discovery, freshness checks, scheduled CI drift detection, and exact structured evals.
  • Added content-hash incremental LanceDB ingestion with bounded upsert/delete behavior and structured counts in packaged index manifests.

Platform coverage

  • Expanded the official Central manifest to 1,678 operations and added a guarded, allow-listed Central GET escape hatch plus report lifecycle tools.
  • Added 14 curated GLP RBAC, scope-group, identity, and auto-subscription workflows, and corrected the subscription preview query to dry-run.
  • Added AOS8 destination aliases, Ethernet ACLs, whitelist rules, dependency planning, live export collection, and readiness/staged-migration prompts.
  • Split Axis fused CRUD entries into exact create/update/delete operations, growing its deterministic manifest to 47 operations.
  • Added a bounded Mist site-assurance snapshot workflow with per-section degraded-result reporting.

Router and operator improvements

  • find_tool can filter curated/generated origin and exact generated operation IDs while returning provenance details.
  • Optional redacted JSONL audit logging records tool names, argument keys, digests, outcomes, durations, and exception types without raw values.
  • Migration reports now support CSV, structured JSON, and escaped HTML through --report-formats.
  • CI now covers Python 3.10 and 3.12 on Ubuntu plus Python 3.12 on macOS.

Provenance and safety

  • Added digest-pinned, offline-verifiable source provenance for ClearPass, AOS8, UXI, and Apstra generated manifests.
  • Optional writes remain hidden in read-only mode and retain platform gates, dry-run previews, confirmation, bounded responses, and fail-closed errors.
  • Generic dispatch remains explicitly destructive-capable; read-only dispatch continues through invoke_read_tool.
