panorama-super-cli 0.2.6

Agent-friendly CLI for Palo Alto Panorama object management: find, dedup/merge, rename, and audit address/service objects safely.

panorama-super-cli (psc)

Agent-friendly object management for Palo Alto Panorama. Find where an IP lives, hunt down duplicate address/service objects, merge them safely (rewriting every group and rule that referenced them), enforce naming conventions, and audit object hygiene — all dry-run by default, with PAN-OS set and JSON output for humans and agents alike.

$ psc --config panorama.xml find ip 10.0.0.10
$ psc --config panorama.xml dedup addresses
$ psc --config panorama.xml dedup merge --keep h-web1 --into web-primary --apply

⚠️ Alpha. The CLI surface and JSON contracts may shift before v1.0.0. Writes are dry-run by default; nothing touches Panorama without --apply.

Why

Panorama configs rot: the same 10.0.0.10 ends up as h-web1, web-primary, and WEB_PRD_01; services duplicate well-known ports; objects outlive the rules that used them. psc gives you a fast, scriptable, safe way to see and fix that — offline against an exported config, or live against Panorama.

Install

uv tool install panorama-super-cli      # recommended
# or
pipx install panorama-super-cli
# or
pip install panorama-super-cli

Two ways to point it at a config

• Offline (no credentials, totally safe): psc --config exported.xml <cmd>. Export from Panorama (scp export configuration ... or the GUI) and audit it on your laptop.
• Live: configure a profile (psc init, psc login) and psc talks the PAN-OS XML API via pan-os-python. Reads are free; writes still require --apply.

What it does

Area	Commands (v0.1)
Find / resolve	psc find ip <ip>, find ip -e <ip> (exact only), find ip -f ips.txt, find object <name>
Duplicates	psc dedup addresses, dedup services, dedup merge
Naming	psc name suggest, name lint, name apply (opt-in templates)
References	psc refs <object> (where-used), refs unused
Output	`--output json

See the docs for the full surface, the safety model, and the agent guide.

Safety model

• Dry-run is the default. Every mutating command prints a plan and exits without touching anything unless you add --apply.
• Side-effect aware. Merging or renaming an object rewrites every address group, security rule, and NAT rule that referenced it — across shared and device-groups — or refuses and tells you why.
• --debug streams structured logs to stderr; stdout stays clean for pipes.

For AI agents

psc ships a bundled Agent Skill and emits a stable JSON envelope + exit-code contract. Pass --output json and parse away. See Using with AI agents.
