Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00039 | $0.02766 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01383 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00553 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00277 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-network-security 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 4d 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 Network Security
Manage network security policies for Elastic Cloud Serverless projects: IP filters to allowlist specific IPs or CIDRs, and VPC filters (AWS PrivateLink) to restrict traffic to specific VPC endpoints.
Prerequisite: This skill assumes the cloud-setup skill has already run —
EC_API_KEYis set in the environment and the organization context is established. IfEC_API_KEYis missing, instruct the agent to invoke cloud-setup first. Do NOT prompt the user for an API key directly.
For project creation and day-2 operations (including associating filters with projects), see cloud-create-project and cloud-manage-project. For identity and access management (users, roles, API keys), see cloud-access-management.
For detailed API endpoints and request schemas, see references/api-reference.md.
Terminology
This skill uses network security as the umbrella term, aligned with the Elastic Cloud UI direction. The underlying
API uses traffic filters — you will see traffic-filters in endpoint paths and traffic_filters in JSON fields.
When a user or agent says "traffic filter," they mean the same thing as "network security policy." The two filter types
are IP filters (type ip) and VPC filters (type vpce).
Jobs to Be Done
- Create an IP filter to restrict ingress to specific IPs or CIDR blocks
- Create a VPC filter (AWS PrivateLink) to restrict traffic to specific VPC endpoint IDs
- List, inspect, update, and delete network security policies
- Look up PrivateLink region metadata (service names, domain names, availability zones)
- Associate or disassociate filters with Serverless projects (delegates to cloud-manage-project)
- Audit the current network security posture for an organization
Prerequisites and permissions
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| EC_API_KEY | Cloud API key (set by cloud-setup). Required for all operations. |
| Region | Filters are region-scoped. The user must specify the target region when creating filters. |
| Project IDs | Required only when associating filters with projects (handled by cloud-manage-project). |
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.
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.

cloud-network-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository elastic/agent-skills (564 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,766 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
cloud-sync
Set up or check claude-mem cloud sync with cmem.ai Pro. Use when the user says "set up cloud sync", "sync my memories", "cmem pro", "cloud backup", "sync status", or wants their memory database backed up or synced to their cmem.ai account.
interactive-login
How to complete browser/interactive logins (aws / gh / glab / gcloud). The platform backgrounds the login poller so it survives the human's browser round-trip — and when that does NOT work.
yandex-cloud
Read Yandex Cloud through its REST API. Applies to any question about VMs, metrics, logs, audit events, Kubernetes, managed databases, serverless, networking or any other Yandex Cloud resource. Never shell out to the yc CLI — it is not how this agent reaches Yandex Cloud and is usually not installed.
cloud-architect
Designs cloud architectures, creates migration plans, generates cost optimization recommendations, and produces disaster recovery strategies across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use when designing cloud architectures, planning migrations, or optimizing multi-cloud deployments. Invoke for Well-Architected Framework, cost…
rule
Skill "rule" from x-cmd/x-cmd, covering rule — rules to rule, 核心命令, 规则文件格式, 示例 and 验证规则文件格式.
scaffold
Generate deployment-ready infrastructure code from an architecture plan, verify it with adversarial self-review, and bridge to validation — all without deploying.
