POST /networks Create a network object · Create network #
Ask an LLM
“How do I create a network to separate overlapping IP ranges?”
“Can I set how many days assets live in a new network before they age out?”
Tell an agent
Create a network named {name}.
Create network {name} with an asset age-out of {assets_ttl_days} days.
GET /networks List network objects · List networks #
Ask an LLM
“What network objects are set up in my Tenable organization?”
“Can I include deleted networks when listing them?”
Tell an agent
List all my network objects.
List networks including deleted ones: {includeDeleted}.
GET /networks/{network_id} Get details of a network · Get network details #
Ask an LLM
“What settings does a specific network object have?”
“Can I look up one network by its ID?”
Tell an agent
Get the details of network {network_id}.
Show me the name and asset TTL of network {network_id}.
PUT /networks/{network_id} Update a network's name or settings · Update network #
Ask an LLM
“Can I rename an existing network object?”
“Do I need to resend the name when I only change a network's description?”
Tell an agent
Rename network {network_id} to {name}.
Update network {network_id} named {name} to age out assets after {assets_ttl_days} days.
DELETE /networks/{network_id} Delete a network object · Delete network #
Ask an LLM
“What should I do with assets before deleting a network?”
“Can I delete a custom network I no longer need?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Delete network {network_id}.
Remove the custom network object {network_id}.
GET /networks/{network_id}/counts/assets-not-seen-in/{num_days} Count stale assets in a network · Get network asset count #
Ask an LLM
“How many assets in a network haven't been seen in the last 30 days?”
“What's the total asset count for a given network?”
Tell an agent
Count assets in network {network_id} not seen in {num_days} days.
Give me the total and stale asset counts for network {network_id} over {num_days} days.
POST /networks/{network_id}/scanners/{scanner_uuid} Assign one scanner to a network · Assign scanners #
Ask an LLM
“How do I put a single scanner or scanner group into a custom network?”
“Can I return a scanner to the default network?”
Tell an agent
Assign scanner {scanner_uuid} to network {network_id}.
Move scanner group {scanner_uuid} into network {network_id}.
GET /networks/{network_id}/scanners List scanners in a network · List network scanners #
Ask an LLM
“Which scanners and scanner groups belong to a given network?”
“What sensors are currently assigned to my custom network?”
Tell an agent
List scanners assigned to network {network_id}.
Show me the scanner groups in network {network_id}.
POST /networks/{network_id}/scanners Replace a network's scanner assignments · Bulk assign scanners #
Ask an LLM
“Can I set the full list of scanners for a network in one call?”
“Does bulk assigning scanners overwrite the ones already in the network?”
Tell an agent
Set the scanners for network {network_id} to {scanner_uuids}.
Bulk assign scanners {scanner_uuids} to network {network_id}, replacing the current list.
GET /networks/{network_id}/assignable-scanners List scanners available to add to a network · List assignable scanners #
Ask an LLM
“Which scanners aren't assigned to any custom network yet?”
“What scanners could I still add to this network?”
Tell an agent
List scanners I can assign to network {network_id}.
Show unassigned scanners and groups available for network {network_id}.
