List Providers
netbox_list_providersRetrieve paginated lists of circuit providers from NetBox. Filter by name, slug, tags, or date range to narrow results.
Instructions
List circuit providers (carriers) from NetBox.
Supports pagination and filtering. Common patterns:
Discovery: call with no filters to browse the first providers.
Lookup by id: use netbox_get_provider 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:
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? }
