auditing-cloud-cluster-security

auditing-cloud-cluster-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cockroachlabs/cockroachdb-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (6,252 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only review of a CockroachDB cluster’s security configuration across network access, sign-in, permissions, encryption, audit logs, and backups. It produces findings marked PASS, WARN, FAIL, or not applicable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check a new production cluster, investigate configuration gaps after an incident, prepare for an audit, or review security before a release or customer onboarding.
Why use it?
It gives teams a structured way to find security gaps without changing the cluster. It can also provide evidence when preparing for compliance reviews such as SOC 2 or HIPAA.

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

auditing-cloud-cluster-security 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 2mo 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.

Auditing Cloud Cluster Security

Assesses the security posture of a CockroachDB Cloud cluster by examining network access controls, authentication and SSO configuration, user authorization, encryption, audit logging, and backup status. Produces a structured PASS/WARN/FAIL report with remediation links for each finding. Supports both CockroachDB Cloud and self-hosted clusters — checks that don't apply to the deployment model are marked N/A.

Read-only audit: All operations are read-only. No cluster state is modified during the assessment.

When to Use This Skill

  • Preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance reviews
  • Conducting periodic security posture assessments
  • Onboarding a new production cluster and validating security baseline
  • Investigating security configuration gaps after an incident
  • Reviewing cluster security before a major release or customer onboarding

Prerequisites

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.
