alias

A command-line namespace for creating, deleting, and using shortcuts for longer Scaleway CLI commands. These shortcuts are called aliases and are saved in the CLI configuration file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create aliases such as a short name for listing servers, delete aliases, and use alias names in Scaleway CLI commands.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated typing and lets commonly used command sequences work with completion.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

alias 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 yesterday.

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.

Documentation for scw alias

This namespace allows you to manage your aliases Aliases are store in cli config file, Default path for this configuration file is based on the following priority order:

  • $SCW_CLI_CONFIG_PATH
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/scw/cli.yaml
  • $HOME/.config/scw/cli.yaml
  • $USERPROFILE/.config/scw/cli.yaml

You can use multiple aliases in one command aliases in your commands are evaluated and you get completion with: isl = instance server list "scw isl " will complete as "scw instance server list " "scw " will complete "isl"

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.
