ROS 2 Control Introspection (Sandboxed)

Setup & Installation

Before this skill can be used, the local environment must be configured.

Source your environment: You MUST source your ROS 2 environment first.

source /opt/ros/<distro>/setup.bash
source ~/my_ros_ws/install/setup.bash

Run setup:
```
./scripts/setup.sh
```

Overview

Use this skill to inspect the

ros2_control

graph. It is STRICTLY read-only. You cannot use this skill to load, switch, or modify controllers (use

ros2-control-execution

for that).

SECURITY CONSTRAINT: You must ALWAYS use the safe wrapper script located at

./scripts/safe_ros2_control_introspection.py

. This script uses Python's

subprocess

(shell=False) to prevent command injection and validates the command against a strict allowlist.

Wrapper Path: Resolve

./scripts/safe_ros2_control_introspection.py

against this SKILL.md directory.

Allowed Commands

Usage:

./scripts/safe_ros2_control_introspection.py <subcommand> [native_flags] [--profile <name> | --params-file <path>]

```
list_controllers
```
```
list_controller_types
```
```
list_hardware_components
```
```
list_hardware_interfaces
```
```
view_controller_chains
```

Examples:

Basic list:

./scripts/safe_ros2_control_introspection.py list_controllers

Targeting a specific controller manager:

./scripts/safe_ros2_control_introspection.py list_controllers -c /my_controller_manager

Using a parameter profile (for complex --ros-args):

./scripts/safe_ros2_control_introspection.py view_controller_chains -c /my_manager --profile my_tuning_file
