What is aliyun-cli-manage?

A guide for using Alibaba Cloud’s command-line tool to operate cloud resources. It covers installing the tool, setting credentials and regions, discovering API parameters, and running resource commands.

Use it to list, inspect, create, update, or delete Alibaba Cloud resources and troubleshoot command-line API operations.

It gives different Alibaba Cloud services a consistent command-line workflow and encourages read-only checks before changes. It also helps avoid mistakes caused by incorrect profiles, regions, or API parameters.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Rogue Agent · line 14
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00039	$0.01145
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.00573
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00229
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00114

Security

Grade A, and why

aliyun-cli-manage 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ensure_aliyun_cli.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.

Makes network callslowCapability

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

Alibaba Cloud Generic CLI (aliyun) Skill

Validation

mkdir -p output/aliyun-cli-manage
python skills/platform/cli/aliyun-cli-manage/scripts/ensure_aliyun_cli.py --help > output/aliyun-cli-manage/validate-help.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-cli-manage/validate-help.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

Save CLI version checks, API outputs, and error logs under output/aliyun-cli-manage/.
For each mutating action, keep request parameters and result summaries.

Goals

Use official aliyun CLI to execute Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI operations.
Provide a standard flow for install, configuration, API discovery, execution, and troubleshooting.

Quick Flow

Run the version guard script first (check first, then decide whether to upgrade).
If not installed or check interval reached, the script downloads and installs the latest official package.
Configure credentials and default region (recommend default profile).
Use aliyun <product> --help / aliyun <product> <ApiName> --help to confirm parameters.
Run read-only queries first, then mutating operations.

Version Guard (Practical)

Prefer the bundled script to avoid unnecessary downloads on every run:

python skills/platform/cli/aliyun-cli-manage/scripts/ensure_aliyun_cli.py

Default behavior:

Check interval: 24 hours (configurable via environment variable).
Within interval and version is sufficient: skip download.
Exceeded interval / not installed / below minimum version: auto-download and install latest official package.

Optional controls (environment variables):

ALIYUN_CLI_CHECK_INTERVAL_HOURS=24：check interval.
ALIYUN_CLI_FORCE_UPDATE=1：force update (ignore interval).
ALIYUN_CLI_MIN_VERSION=3.2.9：minimum acceptable version.
ALIYUN_CLI_INSTALL_DIR=~/.local/bin：installation directory.

Manual parameter examples:

python skills/platform/cli/aliyun-cli-manage/scripts/ensure_aliyun_cli.py \
  --interval-hours 24 \
  --min-version 3.2.9

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
