Frequently asked questions

What are the requirements to run the server?

Python 3.13+, a Palo Alto Networks firewall, and API access to the PAN-OS device.

How do I authenticate with my firewall?

Edit the `pan-os.py` file and provide your firewall host IP and API key in the `PA_HOST` and `PA_API_KEY` variables.

Is this server production-ready?

The README states it is designed for demonstration and use in controlled environments. It recommends adding TLS verification and keeping the API key secure before any production use.

What commands are available?

The server provides five tools: `get_system_info`, `op_command`, `commit_config`, `commit_all_shared_policy`, and `config_action`.

How should I handle the API key securely?

Do not commit the API key to public repositories. For production, ensure proper authentication controls and consider adding TLS verification.
