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 5.1 | $0.00016 | $0.00389 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00195 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
gcloud 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 9d 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.
What it actually says
Google Cloud CLI (gcloud)
The gcloud CLI is part of the Google Cloud SDK. It manages authentication, local configuration, and developer workflows for GCP.
When to Use
- App Engine / Cloud Run:
gcloud app deployandgcloud run deployare the standard ways to ship code. - Kubernetes:
gcloud container clusters get-credentialsis essential for GKE access. - Auth:
gcloud auth loginsets up Application Default Credentials (ADC).
Quick Start
# Initialize
gcloud init
# Authenticate for local code (ADC)
gcloud auth application-default login
# Deploy to Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy my-service --source .
Core Concepts
Components
Installable modules. kubectl, beta, gke-gcloud-auth-plugin.
gcloud components install kubectl
Configurations
Use named configurations to switch between accounts/projects.
gcloud config configurations create dev
Alpha / Beta
GCP releases features rapidly. Many commands live under gcloud beta.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use ADC: For local development,
application-default loginis the correct way to auth your local Python/Node scripts. - Use
gcloud config set project: Don't pass--projectto every command. Set the context. - Scripting: Use
--format="json"andjqfor reliable automation.
Don't:
- Don't use Service Account Keys locally: They are risky. Use User Credentials (ADC) for local dev.

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.

gcloud is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 389 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
