List Devices
netbox_list_devicesList physical devices from NetBox with pagination, fuzzy text search, and filters by name, site, status, serial, and more.
Instructions
List physical devices (switches, routers, servers, firewalls, etc.) from NetBox.
Supports pagination and filtering. Common patterns:
Discovery: call with no filters to browse the first devices.
Lookup by id: use netbox_get_device 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: Exact device name (case-insensitive).
name__ic: Device name contains (case-insensitive).
serial: Exact serial number.
asset_tag: Exact asset tag.
site_id:
location_id:
rack_id:
role_id:
manufacturer_id:
device_type_id:
platform_id:
tenant_id:
status:
mac_address: Filter by any interface MAC (lowercase colon form).
has_primary_ip:
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? }
