trigger-presubmit

trigger-presubmit is a command for coding agents from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,343 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for starting a presubmit job through the Gangway REST API. A presubmit job runs automated checks for a proposed code change before it is accepted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger a named presubmit job for a pull request through Gangway. It is intended for cases with a specific reason to use the REST API.
Why use it?
It provides a way to start a specific job when the usual GitHub Prow commands are not suitable. The command requires the job, repository, branch, commit, and pull-request details.

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

trigger-presubmit 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

/trigger-presubmit <job-name> <org> <repo> <base-ref> <base-sha> <pr-number> <pr-sha> [ENV_VAR=value ...]

Description

The trigger-presubmit command triggers a presubmit gangway job via the REST API.

WARNING: Triggering presubmit jobs via REST is generally unnecessary and not recommended. Presubmit jobs should typically be triggered using Prow commands like /test and /retest via GitHub interactions. Only use this command if you have a specific reason to trigger via REST API.

The command accepts:

  • Job name (required)
  • Organization (required, e.g., "openshift")
  • Repository name (required, e.g., "origin")
  • Base ref/branch (required, e.g., "master")
  • Base SHA/commit hash (required)
  • Pull request number (required)
  • Pull request SHA/head commit (required)
  • Environment variable overrides (optional, additional arguments in KEY=VALUE format)

It constructs the necessary JSON payload with refs and pulls structure and executes the curl command to trigger the job via the gangway REST API.

Security

IMPORTANT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

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

  • READ operations: Checking authentication status (oc whoami)
  • TRIGGERING jobs: POST requests to the gangway API to trigger jobs

Claude is EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED from:

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

MANDATORY USER CONFIRMATION: Before executing ANY POST operation (job trigger), Claude MUST:

  1. Display the complete payload that will be sent
  2. Show the exact curl command that will be executed
  3. Request explicit user confirmation with a clear "yes/no" prompt
  4. Only proceed after receiving affirmative confirmation
