get_system_statusGet pfSense system status including version, CPU, memory, uptime, and temperature.get_interfacesList all network interfaces with status and configuration.list_firewall_rulesList firewall rules, optionally filtered by interface.add_firewall_ruleAdd a firewall rule. Type is 'pass', 'block', or 'reject'. The rule is staged (not active) until apply_changes('firewall') is called or apply=true is passed here.delete_firewall_ruleDelete a firewall rule by its ID (the `id` from list_firewall_rules). Requires confirm=true. Staged until apply_changes('firewall') is called or apply=true is passed.list_firewall_aliasesList firewall aliases (IP groups, port groups, URL lists).list_dhcp_leasesList active DHCP leases showing IP, MAC, hostname, and lease times.list_dhcp_static_mappingsList DHCP static mappings (IP reservations), optionally filtered by interface. Each mapping carries `parent_id` (its DHCP server / interface) — pass that as `interface` to delete_dhcp_static_mapping.add_dhcp_static_mappingCreate a DHCP static mapping (IP reservation) for a MAC address. Staged until apply_changes('dhcp') is called or apply=true is passed.delete_dhcp_static_mappingDelete a DHCP static mapping. Requires confirm=true. `interface` is the mapping's DHCP server — the `parent_id` value returned by list_dhcp_static_mappings; `mapping_id` is its `id` there. Staged until apply_changes('dhcp') is called or apply=true is passed.list_dns_host_overridesList DNS Resolver host overrides (local DNS entries).add_dns_host_overrideCreate a DNS host override entry in Unbound DNS Resolver.
