aether-iot-query

A set of instructions for using the aether command-line tool to query a live AetherEdge runtime, an edge system for connected devices. It covers channels, values, history, alarms, rules, models, routing, and service health.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check device and system status, read real-time or historical values, inspect alarms and rules, and diagnose runtime health.
Why use it?
It gives agents a defined way to retrieve current runtime data without inspecting source code, databases, or configuration files.

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

aether-iot-query 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (install.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

AetherEdge Runtime Query Skill

Use aether as the primary interface for live AetherEdge runtime data. Energy models, mappings, rules, commissioning examples, and operator-console guidance belong to the downstream AetherEMS repository.

Core Rules

  • Execute aether commands to answer questions about current platform state.
  • Do not read source code files or SQLite database files to answer live data questions.
  • Do not read config YAML files to answer questions about running device data.
  • Always add --json when you need to parse or chain results.
  • When --host is needed, pass it as a global flag (before the subcommand).

Command Discovery

aether --help
aether <subcommand> --help        # e.g. aether alarms --help
aether channels --help

Global Flags

Flag Purpose
--json Machine-readable output (suppresses color/banner)
--host <ip> Read-only direct-service diagnostics (e.g. --host 192.0.2.10)
--verbose Debug-level logging

Authentication

Read-only aether queries require no login on the local interface. Governed mutations require a signed Admin/Engineer JWT in AETHER_ACCESS_TOKEN plus explicit --confirmed; talking to a loopback service does not grant write authority.

Connecting to a Remote Machine

# Option A — SSH (aether lives on the remote machine)
ssh [email protected] 'aether --json alarms list'

# Option B — local aether binary + --host flag
#   read-only diagnostics only; requires explicitly protected service ingress
aether --host 192.0.2.10 --json alarms list

Prefer Option A. Browser applications and operator consoles must use the authenticated aether-api application gateway rather than expose internal service ports.

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.

aether-iot-query is a skill published in the GitHub repository EvanL1/AetherEdge (3 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,548 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
