setup-cloud-access

setup-cloud-access is a skill for Claude Code from controlplane-com/ai-plugin. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,926 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for giving Control Plane workloads temporary access to AWS, GCP, Azure, or NATS NGS resources without storing provider keys in the workload.

In plain words
What is it for?
Registering cloud accounts, configuring workload identities, and preparing key-free access for cloud services and NATS NGS.
Why use it?
It explains how workload identities connect to cloud permissions and receive short-lived credentials at runtime.

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

setup-cloud-access scanned grade A with 0 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 17d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cloud Access Setup (Universal Cloud Identity)

Tool availability: create_cloud_account, update_cloud_account, and how_to_create_cloud_account need ?toolsets=full; grant_cloud_access is core.

A workload reads cloud resources with no embedded keys: a GVC-scoped identity carries a per-provider cloud-access block that federates with the provider's IAM, and Control Plane vends short-lived credentials at runtime. Cloud SDKs (boto3, google-cloud, @azure/sdk) pick them up automatically — no SDK config.

The chain

One call once the cloud account exists: mcp__cpln__grant_cloud_access (workload, provider, cloudAccount, and the provider block from step 3) ensures the workload's identity, attaches the cloud account to it, and waits for status.<provider>.usable. Steps 3 and 4 below are what it does, for hand-built setups.

Step What must be true Without it
1. Cloud account a cloud_account (org-wide) maps to the provider, registered after the cloud-side IAM setup identity can't federate
2. Identity cloud block the identity carries an aws/gcp/azure/ngs block linking that cloud account no credentials vended
3. Workload link the identity is attached to the workload (spec.identityLink) workload has no identity

Order is strict: the cloud account must exist before the identity's cloud block references it.

Key constraints

  • Identities are GVC-scoped — one per workload, shareable within a GVC, never across GVCs. Same access in another GVC = recreate the identity there.
  • One cloud account per provider per identity — one AWS + one GCP + one Azure + one NGS is fine; two AWS on one identity is not.
  • Cloud accounts are org-scoped — always pass org.
  • Provider is immutable — to switch providers, delete and recreate the cloud account.

Step 1 — Cloud-side IAM setup

Each provider needs IAM configured on the provider side first so Control Plane can assume a role / impersonate a service account. Run the per-provider how-to to get the org-specific values (Control Plane's AWS account ID + external ID, the GCP service-account email, the Azure Function-App connector steps) — never guess these:
