systems-manager-operations

systems-manager-operations is a skill for Codex from Knuckles-Team/systems-manager. It costs 72 tokens per session (530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A governed operations skill for inspecting and managing hosts, operating-system packages, services, processes, networks, storage, firewalls, and related agent infrastructure. It uses a controlled systems-management provider and records changes for verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect or manage host state, services, packages, processes, network and disk conditions, storage or hardware health, firewalls, managed files, agent identity, and scheduled operations.
Why use it?
It provides a defined safety process for infrastructure work, including read-only inspection first, previews for changes when available, and durable evidence that a change completed.

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

systems-manager-operations 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.

Systems Manager Operations

Use the provider's governed MCP tools through Arbora delegation.

Workflow

  1. Establish the verified GraphSession and tenant before discovery or retrieval.
  2. Discover the current intent tool surface and its exact action schema; never assume a stale tool name or parameter.
  3. Prefer read-only inspection first. For changes, present impact and use the provider's dry-run or preview mode when available.
  4. Execute mutations as fenced WorkItems so retries remain idempotent and auditable.
  5. Ingest host state only through systems_ingest_host, which uses the governed ChangeEnvelope boundary and a deployment-provided pseudonymization key.
  6. Verify the durable result and its trace/evidence before reporting completion.

Safety contract

  • Never persist credentials, endpoints, raw personal identifiers, hostnames, network addresses, or local paths.
  • Resolve secret references and TLS profiles through AgentConfig; never accept credentials in tool arguments or hardcode trust paths, verification flags, or bypasses.
  • Treat unknown ACL, tenant, schema, or tool-contract state as a hard failure.
  • Require explicit approval for destructive, externally visible, or irreversible actions.
  • Keep runtime traces policy-scoped and privacy-sanitized.
  • Use typed operations only. Raw commands, arbitrary shell programs, persistent aliases, and model-authored scheduled commands are not part of the API and must not be emulated through another tool.
  • BMC access is health-only. Resolve its {host,user,password} projection at runtime through SYSTEMS_MANAGER_BMC_CREDENTIALS; never log or return the projection.
  • NIC bonding and vendor-specific BMC power, console, user, or LAN configuration are not current typed capabilities. Report them as unsupported instead of synthesizing shell steps.
  • Treat host-mutation, sensitive-read, and network-probe policy denials as final. Never ask the model to change deployment environment variables or bypass an approval gate.

Changes

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.
