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

aiven-getting-started 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 6d 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.

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.

Aiven Authentication & Onboarding

This skill ensures the user is authenticated with Aiven before any operation can proceed. It runs as a multi-turn conversation — each step ends by waiting for a user reply before continuing.

All Aiven tools live on the plugin:aiven:aiven MCP server.

Entry points

This skill triggers in two situations — the flow differs slightly:

The user asked to get started — this includes direct skill invocation (e.g. /aiven:aiven-getting-started) as well as natural language like "how do I set up Aiven", "I'm new to Aiven", "how to start using Aiven", "connect my account". → Follow the full onboarding flow starting at Step 1. You MUST reach Step 2 (the Welcome message) if Step 1 fails — never stop at Step 1 with troubleshooting advice.

An Aiven MCP tool call failed (authentication error, tools unavailable, or the user asked to perform an Aiven action but the tools aren't connected) → The user has a task in progress. Acknowledge what they asked for, then run the onboarding flow to unblock it. After authentication succeeds, resume their original request — pick up where the tool call failed rather than asking "what would you like to do?"

Step 1: Check authentication

Try to call aiven_project_list on server plugin:aiven:aiven with no parameters. This is the fastest way to check if the user is already connected.

Success → If the user had a pending task (e.g., "create a pg service"), resume that task now by calling the appropriate Aiven tools. If there was no pending task, say:

Your Aiven account is connected! You have access to [N] projects. Here's what I can help you with:

  • Build and deploy an application on top of your data services (PostgreSQL, Kafka, and more)
  • Explore your existing services and data
  • Create new data services or manage existing ones

What would you like to do?

Then wait for the user's reply.

Failure (any kind) → Whether the call returns an auth error, the tools aren't available, the MCP server isn't connected, or the call fails for any other reason — move to Step 2 silently. Do NOT try to troubleshoot the MCP connection or give auth instructions yet. Just proceed to Step 2.
