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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.02081 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01040 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00416 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00208 |
Grade B, and why
getting-started 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 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.
Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

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

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 411 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Getting Started with Acquia CLI
This guide covers installation, authentication, and your first commands.
Use when:
- Installing acli for the first time
- Authenticating with Acquia Cloud
- Learning your first acli commands
Tool Overview
Two separate CLIs exist for Acquia Cloud operations:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
acli |
General Cloud management: applications, environments, IDEs, SSH keys, code/DB sync |
pipelines-cli |
CI/CD pipeline operations: trigger builds, check job status, stream logs |
Use pipelines-cli for anything related to pipeline jobs. Use acli for everything else.
ACE vs MEO
acli serves two distinct hosting products with separate command prefixes:
| Product | Command prefix | API |
|---|---|---|
| ACE (Acquia Cloud Enterprise) — classic single-site hosting | acli api:* |
V2 |
| MEO (Multi-site Enterprise Operations) — multi-site hosting | acli api:v3:* |
V3 |
If you're working on a MEO subscription, see MEO Overview for the full command set.
Installation
macOS & Linux
Option 1: Native Binary (Recommended)
The native binary requires no PHP installation and works on any modern macOS or Linux system.
# Download the latest release
curl -fsSL https://github.com/acquia/cli/releases/latest/download/acli \
-o /usr/local/bin/acli
# Make it executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/acli
# Verify it works
acli --version
Option 2: PHP Archive (PHAR)
If you prefer or already have PHP 8.2 installed:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/acquia/cli/releases/latest/download/acli.phar \
-o /usr/local/bin/acli.phar
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/acli.phar
# Use as:
acli.phar --version
# Or create an alias
alias acli='acli.phar'
Using Homebrew (macOS)
brew tap acquia/cli
brew install acli
acli --version
Your First Command: Authentication
Acquia CLI uses OAuth to authenticate with your Acquia account. You'll only need to do this once.
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.

getting-started is a skill published in the GitHub repository acquia/acquia-skills (9 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 2,081 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (unrestricted tool access, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
