cisco-spaces-setup

cisco-spaces-setup is a skill for Codex from chambear2809/splunk-cisco-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,775 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for sending Cisco Spaces meta-stream or firehose data into Splunk. Cisco Spaces provides workplace and location-related data from connected environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure the Splunk add-on, account, index, and firehose input, then diagnose activation, streaming, source-type, or ingestion problems.
Why use it?
It replaces ad hoc stream configuration with checks for activation, accounts, indexes, input settings, and event volume.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash skills/shared/scripts/setup_credentials.sh.

Good fit Use it to configure the Splunk add-on, account, index, and firehose input, then diagnose activation, streaming, source-type, or ingestion problems.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

cisco-spaces-setup 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 29d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/configure_stream.sh, scripts/setup.sh, scripts/validate.sh), 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.

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

Cisco Spaces TA Setup Automation

Prerequisites

Tool or access Purpose Verify

Splunk administrative access Create the index, account, and firehose input Confirm search-tier REST access

When to Activate

  • Onboard a Cisco Spaces meta stream or firehose into Splunk.
  • Configure ta_cisco_spaces accounts, indexes, or modular inputs.
  • Diagnose activation, stream, source-type, or ingestion failures.

Scope

This skill configures the Splunk side of a documented Spaces stream. It does not request activation tokens in chat, change location policy, or enable an unreviewed firehose without considering event volume.

Examples

Run diagnostic checks before account creation:

bash skills/cisco-spaces-setup/scripts/validate.sh

Expected output: tools, package, Splunk connectivity, and account prerequisites are reported without changing Spaces or Splunk inputs.

Run completion validation after enabling a firehose:

bash skills/cisco-spaces-setup/scripts/validate.sh --completion

Expected output: account, input, index, source type, and recent event evidence report [PASS]; an idle or unauthorized stream exits nonzero.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Resolution
Activation fails Token is expired, scoped incorrectly, or unreadable Replace the protected token file and retry
Connected but idle Wrong stream/no activity Verify the selected stream
Wrong index Input differs from plan Correct it and rerun checks
Reconnect loop Network is unstable Inspect logs and outbound access

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.
