help

Built-in help for the Scaleway command-line tool, including how to format dates and durations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps look up topic-specific guidance and write absolute dates or relative times such as one day from now.
Why use it?
It explains command details and date formats when the CLI's syntax or time values are unclear.

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

help 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.

Get help about how date parsing works in the CLI

Date parsing

You have two ways for managing date in the CLI: Absolute and Relative

  • Absolute time

    Absolute time refers to a specific and absolute point in time. CLI uses RFC3339 to parse those time and pass a time.Time go structure to the underlying functions.

    Example: "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00"

  • Relative time

    Relative time refers to a time calculated from adding a given duration to the time when a command is launched.

    Example:

    • +1d4m => current time plus 1 day and 4 minutes
    • -1d4m => current time minus 1 day and 4 minutes
  • Units of time

    Nanosecond: ns Microsecond: us, µs (U+00B5 = micro symbol), μs (U+03BC = Greek letter mu) Millisecond: ms Second: s, sec, second, seconds Minute: m, min, minute, minutes Hour: h, hr, hour, hours Day: d, day, days Week: w, wk, week, weeks Month: mo, mon, month, months Year: y, yr, year, years

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.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository scaleway/scaleway-cli (996 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,061 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
