ask-sippy

ask-sippy is a command for coding agents from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,342 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for asking Sippy's AI agent questions about OpenShift CI jobs, payloads, test results, releases, and historical trends. In this context, a payload is a set of changes being tested together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask about rejected payloads, job failures, test trends, release quality, and historical CI data.
Why use it?
It provides a single way to investigate CI status and patterns without manually examining multiple test and job records.

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

ask-sippy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Synopsis

/ask-sippy [question]

Description

The ask-sippy command allows you to query the Sippy AI agent, which has deep knowledge about OpenShift CI infrastructure, including:

  • CI payload status and rejection reasons
  • Job failures and patterns
  • Test results and trends
  • Release quality metrics
  • Historical CI data analysis

The command sends your question to the Sippy API and returns the agent's response. Complex queries may take some time to process as the agent analyzes CI data. Inform the user of this.

Security

IMPORTANT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

Claude is granted LIMITED and SPECIFIC access to the DPCR cluster token for the following AUTHORIZED operations ONLY:

  • READ operations: Querying the Sippy API for CI data analysis

Claude is EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED from:

  • Modifying cluster resources (deployments, pods, services, etc.)
  • Deleting or altering any data
  • Accessing secrets, configmaps, or sensitive data beyond Sippy API responses
  • Making any cluster modifications
  • Using the token for any purpose other than the specific operations listed above

Token Usage: The DPCR cluster token is used solely for authentication with the Sippy API. This token grants the same permissions as the authenticated user and must be handled with appropriate care. The curl_with_token.sh wrapper handles all authentication automatically.

Implementation

  1. Validate Arguments: Checks that a question was provided
  2. Notify User: Informs the user that the query is being processed (may take time)
  3. API Request: Sends a POST request to the Sippy API using the oc-auth skill's curl wrapper:
# Use curl_with_token.sh from oc-auth skill - it automatically adds the OAuth token
# DPCR cluster API: https://api.cr.j7t7.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443
curl_with_token.sh https://api.cr.j7t7.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443 -s -X POST "https://sippy-auth.dptools.openshift.org/api/chat" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @- <<'EOF'
{
  "message": "$1",
  "chat_history": [],
  "show_thinking": false,
  "persona": "default"
}
EOF
  1. Return JSON: Returns the full JSON response for Claude to parse

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.
