cloud-security

cloud-security is an agent for Claude Code from 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,189 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist guide for authorised security testing of cloud systems such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It covers checking cloud settings, access permissions, containers, databases, and other hosted services for attack paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for approved cloud penetration tests, identity and access reviews, container or Kubernetes security checks, serverless assessments, and cloud attack-path analysis.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to find dangerous cloud misconfigurations and excessive access before attackers can use them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cloud-security scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
