block

A command set for managing Scaleway Block Storage volumes, which are cloud disks for storing data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, restore from, or create new writable volumes from snapshots, with options for names, tags, projects, and zones.
Why use it?
It lets you preserve a read-only point-in-time copy of a volume before restoring or reusing its data.

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

block 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 block

This API allows you to manage your Block Storage volumes.

A Block Storage snapshot is a read-only picture of a Block volume, taken at a specific time

You can then revert your data to the previous snapshot. You can also create a new read/write Block volume from a previous snapshot.

Create a snapshot of a volume

To create a snapshot, the volume must be in the in_use or the available status. If your volume is in a transient state, you need to wait until the end of the current operation.

Usage:

scw block snapshot create <volume-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name Description Argument Specifications
volume-id UUID of the volume to snapshot Required
name Name of the snapshot Default: <generated>
project-id Project ID to use. If none is passed the default project ID will be used
tags.{index} List of tags assigned to the snapshot
zone Zone to target. If none is passed will use default zone from the config Default: fr-par-1One of: fr-par-1, fr-par-2, fr-par-3, nl-ams-1, nl-ams-2, nl-ams-3, pl-waw-1, pl-waw-2, pl-waw-3

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.
