tunnel-manager-ssh-hardening

tunnel-manager-ssh-hardening is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Knuckles-Team/tunnel-manager. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,141 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for setting up and auditing SSH access across multiple computers. SSH is the secure protocol commonly used for remote login and command execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure key-based login, create full-mesh host trust, rotate keys, distribute SSH configuration, or run security and vulnerability audits.
Why use it?
It helps replace password-based access, manage shared keys, and check whether hosts meet security or compliance requirements.

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

tunnel-manager-ssh-hardening scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

add host aliases (use tunnel-manager-host-inventory) or to run arbitrary commands

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Tunnel Manager — SSH Hardening & Audit

Move a fleet onto key-based auth and assess its security posture via the tunnel-manager MCP server.

When to use

  • Set up passwordless (key) auth to one host or a whole group.
  • Build a full-mesh SSH trust so every host can reach every other.
  • Rotate the SSH key fleet-wide and distribute a shared ~/.ssh/config.
  • Run a security audit, compliance check, or vulnerability scan against a host.

When NOT to use

  • Registering / removing host aliases → tunnel-manager-host-inventory.
  • One-off command execution or file copy → tunnel-manager-remote-execution.
  • Container/service security posture → container-manager / security-tools.

Prerequisites & environment

Connect via the mcp-client skill against the tunnel-manager MCP server. Initial key setup / mesh needs a working credential (password or an existing key) to bootstrap from.

Variable Required Notes
TUNNEL_INVENTORY / TUNNEL_INVENTORY_GROUP optional Fleet scope for tm_inventory
TUNNEL_IDENTITY_FILE optional Shared key path (default ~/.ssh/id_shared)
TUNNEL_PARALLEL / TUNNEL_MAX_THREADS optional Parallel fan-out controls

Tools & actions

Condensed tool Actions
tm_inventory configure_key_auth, mesh_bootstrap, rotate_key, copy_ssh_config
tm_remote setup_passwordless, rotate_key, copy_ssh_config, test_key_auth (single host)
tm_security security_audit, compliance_check, vulnerability_scan, access_control_audit
tm_system get_info, discover_services, analyze_logs, network_topology

Key parameters

  • group, parallel, max_threads — fleet scope + fan-out on tm_inventory.
  • key / key_type (ed25519|rsa) — key material for setup / rotation.
  • new_key — target path for rotate_key.
  • remote_host, username, identity_file — target for tm_security / tm_system.
  • standardcis_benchmark | pci_dss | hipaa for compliance_check.
  • scan_typebasic | package | config for vulnerability_scan.

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.
