List Contact_groups
netbox_list_contact_groupsRetrieve contact groups from NetBox with support for pagination, fuzzy search, and filtering by name, slug, or parent group.
Instructions
List contact groups (nestable) from NetBox.
Supports pagination and filtering. Common patterns:
Discovery: call with no filters to browse the first contact_groups.
Lookup by id: use netbox_get_contact_group instead when you already have an id.
Narrow scan: combine 'q' (fuzzy text) with resource-specific filters below.
Pagination:
'limit' (max 1000, default 50) and 'offset'. Response includes 'has_more' and 'next_offset'.
Large list responses auto-truncate to keep under the character limit; keep calling with next_offset to continue.
Resource-specific filters:
name:
slug:
parent_id:
Universal filters:
q (string) Fuzzy text search across searchable fields.
tag (string[]) AND-filter by tag slugs.
created_after (date) ISO-8601 lower bound on 'created'.
created_before (date) ISO-8601 upper bound on 'created'.
Returns: Markdown summary (default) or JSON with shape: { total, count, offset, limit, items: [...], has_more, next_offset? }
