What is huawei-cloud-eip-cost-optimizer?

A Huawei Cloud tool for finding and analysing Elastic IPs (EIPs), which are public IP addresses that can be attached to cloud resources. It focuses on identifying unused addresses and their costs.

Use it to find unbound EIPs, create cost reports, review status and distribution, monitor idle addresses with alerts, and inspect operation audit logs.

It helps reveal idle public IPs and spending that may be avoidable across multiple regions.

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 D, and why

huawei-cloud-eip-cost-optimizer scanned grade D with 3 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/analyze_idle_eips.sh, scripts/check_env.sh, scripts/config.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.

Huawei Cloud EIP Cost Optimizer

Overview

This skill provides batch management and cost optimization capabilities for Huawei Cloud Elastic Public IPs (EIPs).

Architecture: Shell + hcloud CLI (KooCLI) → EIP Service API → VPC/Bandwidth resources

Related Skills: For broader cost optimization across all resource types (ECS, EVS, OBS, etc.), see the archived huaweicloud-cost-optimizer skill. This skill focuses exclusively on EIP optimization with deeper functionality and 100% hcloud CLI compliance.

Periodic cleanup of idle EIPs to reduce holding costs
Cost analysis and optimization recommendations
Multi-region unified management
Automated monitoring and alerting for idle resources
Operation audit logging for compliance

Typical Use Cases:

"Help me identify idle EIPs and generate an optimization report"
"Generate an EIP cost analysis report to identify high-cost resources"
"Set up idle EIP monitoring with automatic alerts via webhook or email"
"View EIP distribution and status summary across all regions"
"Show audit logs for EIP operations in the last 30 days"
"List all EIPs in cn-north-4 with detailed information"

Prerequisites

1. CLI Environment Requirements (MANDATORY)

hcloud CLI (KooCLI) v7.0+ — Huawei Cloud command-line tool
jq — JSON processor for parsing API responses
bc — Arbitrary precision calculator for cost estimation
curl — HTTP client for webhook notifications

Install hcloud CLI:

# Linux/macOS one-click install
curl -sSL https://hwcloudcli.obs.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.com/cli/latest/hcloud_install.sh | bash

# Verify installation
hcloud --version

Install jq, bc, curl:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install -y jq bc curl

# CentOS/RHEL
sudo yum install -y jq bc curl

# macOS
brew install jq bc curl

Available Shell Scripts:

scripts/config.sh - Shared configuration (credentials, regions, proxy)
scripts/list_eips.sh - List all EIPs in a region (supports filtering and summary)
scripts/analyze_idle_eips.sh - Analyze idle EIPs and generate optimization reports (read-only)
scripts/eip_cost_report.sh - Generate EIP cost analysis reports (text/HTML/JSON)
scripts/monitor_idle_eips.sh - Monitor idle EIPs with webhook/email alerts and cron support
scripts/check_env.sh - Environment check and validation (hcloud CLI + tools + API)
scripts/eip_audit_log.sh - Operation audit logging (JSONL + CSV/JSON export)

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.

huawei-cloud-eip-cost-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository huaweicloud/huaweicloud-skills (49 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 240 tokens to every session and 5,028 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
