"""Agentic sampling tool for autonomous Tailscale network management workflows.
PORTMANTEAU PATTERN RATIONALE:
Instead of creating 5 separate workflow tools (diagnostic, onboarding, audit, optimization, setup),
this tool consolidates autonomous orchestration into a single interface. Prevents tool explosion
(5 tools → 1 tool) while maintaining full functionality and enabling complex multi-step workflows.
Follows FastMCP 2.14.3 SOTA standards for sampling with tools.
Supported Operations:
- network_diagnostic: Comprehensive network health analysis and recommendations
- device_onboarding: Automated device authorization and security configuration
- security_audit: Multi-step security assessment with prioritized fixes
- performance_optimization: Automated performance analysis and bottleneck resolution
- funnel_setup: Complete HTTPS funnel configuration and validation
Operations Detail:
**Diagnostic Operations:**
- "network_diagnostic": Multi-step health check with device status, connectivity, and topology analysis
- "security_audit": Comprehensive security scan with vulnerability assessment and remediation steps
- "performance_optimization": Latency analysis and bottleneck identification with fix recommendations
**Automation Operations:**
- "device_onboarding": End-to-end device authorization, tagging, and security baseline application
- "funnel_setup": Complete funnel configuration with ACL validation and certificate setup
Prerequisites:
- Tailscale API access and valid credentials
- Network connectivity to Tailscale control plane
- Appropriate ACL permissions for automated operations
Args:
operation (Literal, required): Operation to perform. Must be one of:
"network_diagnostic", "device_onboarding", "security_audit",
"performance_optimization", "funnel_setup".
- "network_diagnostic": General network health assessment
- "device_onboarding": Requires target_device parameter
- "security_audit": Multi-step security evaluation
- "performance_optimization": Performance bottleneck analysis
- "funnel_setup": Funnel configuration workflow
workflow_prompt (str | None): Natural language description of desired workflow outcome.
Used for contextual guidance in autonomous operations.
available_tools (List[str] | None): Tool names available for orchestration.
Defaults to core Tailscale tools if not specified.
max_iterations (int, default=3): Maximum autonomous orchestration steps.
Prevents infinite loops in complex workflows.
target_device (str | None): Specific device ID for device-focused operations.
Required for "device_onboarding", optional for others.
analysis_type (str | None): Type of analysis for diagnostic operations.
Options: "comprehensive", "quick", "detailed".
