dataworks-open-api is a skill for Codex from aliyun/alibabacloud-bigdata-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (3,515 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An integration for Alibaba Cloud DataWorks, a service for building and running data workflows, using its official APIs and software libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Managing data-development workflows, data imports, data quality checks, metadata and lineage, and DataWorks workspaces.
Why use it?
It helps agents find the right DataWorks API at runtime and check whether operations succeeded, without relying on a fixed list of API calls.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Good fit Managing data-development workflows, data imports, data quality checks, metadata and lineage, and DataWorks workspaces.

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

dataworks-open-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/fetch_api_overview.py, scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 299 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DataWorks (dataworks-public)

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage all DataWorks resources. MCP Server is available as an alternative integration.

Workflow

  1. Confirm region, project/resource identifiers, and desired action.
  2. Discover available APIs and required parameters (see API discovery below).
  3. Call API via SDK.
  4. Verify results with describe/list/get APIs.

Troubleshooting fallback chain (follow this order)

If execution fails at any step, escalate to the next level:

  1. Cookbook — check references/cookbook.md first. It contains verified API patterns, pitfalls, error recovery, the full end-to-end lifecycle (Create → Submit → Deploy → Run → Monitor), and reusable code snippets. Most common issues are already documented there.
  2. Official help docs — read the API overview and per-API doc pages.
    • If an API call fails or the request/error is not understood, fetch the API directory page to locate the relevant API documentation: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/dataworks/developer-reference/api-dataworks-public-2024-05-18-dir Browse the category list, find the matching API name, and navigate to its detail page (URL pattern: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/dataworks/developer-reference/api-dataworks-public-2024-05-18-{apinameincamelcase}) for parameter details, error codes, and usage examples. For example, if CreateNode fails, find it under "数据开发(新版)" in the directory, then read its detail page: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/dataworks/developer-reference/api-dataworks-public-2024-05-18-createnode
  3. OpenAPI metadata — fetch the raw JSON spec for exact parameter names, types, and required fields.
  4. SDK API docs — check the typed SDK reference for correct method signatures and request classes.
  • Java: https://aliyunsdk-pages.alicdn.com/apidocs/{PRODUCT_CODE}/{API_VERSION}/java-async-tea/8.0.3/index.html
  • Node.js / Python: see references/sources.md
  1. GitHub source code — read the Java SDK source for model/request class definitions: https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-java-sdk/tree/master/dataworks-public-20240518 (browse src/main/java/com/aliyun/dataworks_public20240518/ for request/response models).
  2. MCP Server — use the MCP Server to call APIs directly (see references/mcp_server.md).
  3. Browser — use browser-use to visit the DataWorks Homepage (https://dataworks.data.aliyun.com/${ALIBABA_CLOUD_REGION_ID}/#/index) and inspect the UI behavior, network requests, or page content for clues.

What ships with it

Changes

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.
