aliyun-dns-cli

aliyun-dns-cli is a skill for Codex from cinience/alicloud-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (858 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line guide for Alibaba Cloud DNS, the service that maps domain names to servers and other services. It focuses on finding and changing DNS records, including CNAME records used for custom domains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query DNS records, add or update records, and configure a CNAME for a Function Compute custom domain.
Why use it?
It removes the need to edit DNS records through a web console for common tasks. It also provides a direct way to point a name at an Alibaba Cloud Function Compute custom domain.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

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 25
    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.

Security

Grade A, and why

aliyun-dns-cli 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.

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.

Alibaba Cloud DNS (Alidns) CLI

Goals

  • Query and manage Alibaba Cloud DNS records via aliyun-cli.
  • Quickly configure CNAME for Function Compute custom domains.

When to Use

  • When you need to add/update DNS records in Alibaba Cloud DNS.
  • When you need CNAME setup for FC custom domains.

Install aliyun-cli (without sudo)

curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/aliyun-cli-linux-latest-amd64.tgz -o /tmp/aliyun-cli.tgz
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
 tar -xzf /tmp/aliyun-cli.tgz -C /tmp
mv /tmp/aliyun ~/.local/bin/aliyun
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/aliyun

Configure Credentials

~/.local/bin/aliyun configure set \
  --profile default \
  --access-key-id <AK> \
  --access-key-secret <SK> \
  --region cn-hangzhou

Configure region as default; if best region is unclear, ask the user.

Query DNS Records

Query subdomain records:

~/.local/bin/aliyun alidns DescribeSubDomainRecords \
  --SubDomain news.example.com

Add CNAME Record

~/.local/bin/aliyun alidns AddDomainRecord \
  --DomainName example.com \
  --RR news \
  --Type CNAME \
  --Value <TARGET>

FC Custom Domain CNAME Target

Custom domain should point to FC public CNAME:

<account_id>.<region_id>.fc.aliyuncs.com

Example (Hangzhou):

1629965279769872.cn-hangzhou.fc.aliyuncs.com

Common Issues

  • If apex CNAME is not supported, use subdomain like www or ALIAS/ANAME records.
  • Create FC custom domain only after DNS propagation, otherwise DomainNameNotResolved may occur.

What ships with it

2 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.
