A command-line skill for Kibana, a web interface for exploring and managing data in Elasticsearch. It uses the Kibana API to query saved objects, dashboards, index patterns, and alerts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect dashboards and alerts, review index patterns, and query Kibana's saved configuration.
Why use it?
It avoids manually constructing API requests and reduces the chance of querying the wrong Kibana instance. Credentials are kept in separate files for each environment.

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 B, and why

kibana-cli scanned grade B with 2 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 23d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

mkdir -p ~/.kibana && echo "<your-api-key>" > <CREDENTIAL_FILE> && chmod 600 <CREDENTIAL_FILE>

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kibana CLI Skill

Use the instance and rules below when constructing all Kibana API commands.

Instances

Update the table below with your Kibana instance URLs and corresponding credential file paths:

Environment Base URL Credential File
Production https://<your-kibana-prod-url> ~/.kibana/prod.token
Staging https://<your-kibana-staging-url> ~/.kibana/staging.token

If the target instance is unclear, ask the user before running any command.

Prerequisites (one-time setup by user)

Generate a Kibana API key for each instance you intend to use and save it to the corresponding credential file (see instance table above). Never print or display credential values. Do not perform these steps yourself.

mkdir -p ~/.kibana && echo "<your-api-key>" > <CREDENTIAL_FILE> && chmod 600 <CREDENTIAL_FILE>

Command Format

All API calls use curl with the API key read from the instance's credential file, and always require the kbn-xsrf header:

curl -s -H "Authorization: ApiKey $(cat <CREDENTIAL_FILE>)" \
  -H "kbn-xsrf: true" \
  "<BASE_URL>/api/<endpoint>" | jq .

Example (production):

curl -s -H "Authorization: ApiKey $(cat ~/.kibana/prod.token)" \
  -H "kbn-xsrf: true" \
  "https://<your-kibana-prod-url>/api/status" | jq .

Available API Endpoints

Read-only (safe, no confirmation needed)

Endpoint Method Description
/api/status GET Check Kibana health/status
/api/saved_objects/_find?type=<type> GET Find saved objects (dashboards, visualizations, index-patterns)
/api/saved_objects/<type>/<id> GET Get a specific saved object
/api/index_patterns/index_pattern/<id> GET Get an index pattern
/api/alerting/rules/_find GET List alerting rules
/api/alerting/rule/<id> GET Get a specific alerting rule
/api/spaces/space GET List Kibana spaces
/api/data_views GET List data views

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.
