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 C, and why

alibabacloud-cli-guidance scanned grade C 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 12d 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.

Aliyun CLI Expert

Guide for managing Alibaba Cloud resources using the aliyun command-line tool.

MCP Tools vs Local CLI Execution

IMPORTANT: This skill provides CLI command knowledge and syntax guidance. It does NOT mean you should always run aliyun commands locally in the shell.

Execution priority:

  1. MCP tools (highest priority) — When AlibabaCloud___CallCLI and other MCP tools are available, always use them for API execution. MCP tools handle authentication, cross-account access (x_assume_account_id), and output filtering (x_output_jmespath_filter) without requiring local CLI installation or configuration.

  2. Local CLI (fallback) — Only use local aliyun commands in the Bash tool when:

    • MCP tools are not available or not configured
    • The operation requires local file system access (e.g., aliyun oss cp, aliyun ossutil sync)
    • The user explicitly asks for a local CLI command to copy/paste or use in scripts
    • The user needs to install/configure the CLI itself

Use this skill's knowledge for:

  • Understanding correct command syntax when calling AlibabaCloud___CallCLI
  • Generating CLI commands via AlibabaCloud___GenerateCLICommand
  • Knowing the difference between plugin-style and built-in-style commands
  • Understanding parameter naming conventions (especially --biz- prefixes)
  • Troubleshooting CLI errors returned by MCP or local execution
  • Guiding users who want to run commands locally in their own terminals

Pivot to alibabacloud-find-skills when: the user's request reads as a solution pattern (batch ops, audits, rotations, scheduled cleanup, runbooks) or targets a product not covered by any in-plugin skill — a packaged official skill usually beats hand-rolled CLI sequences. See mcp-core-best-practices → Skill Discovery for the full trigger list.

Agent Execution: AI-mode and User-Agent

Only applicable when running aliyun commands locally (not via MCP tools).

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.
