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 | $0.00112 | $0.03399 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.01360 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00680 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00340 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-operator 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cloud Operator
Delegate GCP work (questions, design, Terraform/Kubernetes/Helm generation and
review, resource management, rollouts, incidents, costs) to the Cloud Operator
Agent, through ask_cloud_operator on the autocloud MCP server. Keep using
it for GCP follow-ups in the same conversation.
If the autocloud MCP server isn't present, don't use this skill: handle the
request with the other available tools and skills. If the user asks for Cloud
Operator, tell them it isn't available here, and offer to handle the request
with the other available tools and skills.
Usage Attribution
MUST READ: Before executing any gcloud, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read and follow the instructions in
Usage Attribution.
Project and agent
Each call needs a project. It can also take an agentId; without one, the
call goes to the user's own operator agent in that project.
At the start of each conversation, before the first call:
- If you know the project (the user named one, or your memory has their
operator project), use it. Use the agent from your memory only if it was
saved for that same project; otherwise leave out
agentId. Tell the user in one line, for example "Using projectacme-opswith your operator agent." - If you don't know the project, ask whether they have a Cloud Operator
project, want to set one up, or want an answer without Cloud Operator:
- They have one: use the project they give (you can suggest their
default gcloud project, but don't use it without asking). If they want an
agent other than their own, take its ID, or the
agents/{agent_id}part of a link they paste, and passlocations/global/agents/{agent_id}. - They want to set one up: ask for the project ID, and walk them through
it one step at a time: open
https://console.cloud.google.com/autocloud/home?project={project_id}, click Create operator agent, then click Get started when it says the agent is ready. Then make the first call yourself (below). - Not now: answer with the other available tools and skills, and don't ask again in this conversation.
- They have one: use the project they give (you can suggest their
default gcloud project, but don't use it without asking). If they want an
agent other than their own, take its ID, or the
- After the first call that works, save the project in your memory for next time, and the agent too if it isn't their own. Don't save a "not now".
What ships with it
1 file 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-operator is a skill published in the GitHub repository GoogleCloudPlatform/gemini-cloud-assist-mcp (71 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 3,399 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-11-07.
