configuring-ip-allowlists

configuring-ip-allowlists is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cockroachlabs/cockroachdb-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,646 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for controlling which network addresses can connect to a CockroachDB Cloud cluster. An IP allowlist is a list of approved addresses, written as CIDR ranges, for example an office, VPN, or build system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review existing access rules, add office or CI/CD addresses, restrict SQL and database-console access, and address network-security audit findings.
Why use it?
It removes overly broad access such as 0.0.0.0/0, which allows connections from anywhere, and replaces it with narrower approved network ranges.

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

configuring-ip-allowlists 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 11d 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.

Configuring IP Allowlists

Configures and hardens IP allowlists on CockroachDB Cloud clusters to restrict SQL and DB Console access to authorized CIDR ranges. Identifies overly permissive entries (such as 0.0.0.0/0) and replaces them with specific, narrow ranges.

When to Use This Skill

  • Removing 0.0.0.0/0 (open to all) from the IP allowlist
  • Restricting network access after initial cluster setup
  • Adding office, VPN, or CI/CD CIDR ranges to the allowlist
  • Reviewing and tightening existing allowlist entries
  • Responding to a security audit finding about overly broad network access

Prerequisites

  • ccloud CLI installed and authenticated (ccloud auth login)
  • Cloud Console role: Cluster Admin or Cluster Operator
  • Known CIDR ranges: Office IPs, VPN egress IPs, CI/CD runner IPs, or other authorized sources
  • Cluster ID: Available from ccloud cluster list

Verify access:

ccloud auth whoami
ccloud cluster list

Steps

1. List Current Allowlist Entries

# List all IP allowlist entries for the cluster
ccloud cluster networking allowlist list <cluster-id> -o json

Review each entry. Flag any of these as overly permissive:

  • 0.0.0.0/0 — Open to all IPv4 addresses
  • /8 ranges — 16 million+ addresses
  • /16 ranges — 65,000+ addresses
  • Unknown or undocumented entries

See ccloud commands reference for full command syntax.

2. Understand Allowlist Limits

CockroachDB Cloud clusters have a maximum number of IP allowlist entries per cluster. If you need more entries than the limit allows:

  • Consolidate entries: Use broader CIDR ranges where security permits (e.g., combine several /32 entries into a /24)
  • Use private endpoints: Switch to private endpoints instead of allowlists for VPC-based access — private endpoints bypass the allowlist entirely
  • Request a limit increase: Contact CockroachDB Cloud support if consolidation and private endpoints are not sufficient
