konnect-access-scope

konnect-access-scope is a skill for Claude Code from Kong/ai-marketplace. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,624 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for access to Kong Konnect, a cloud service used to manage Kong API gateways. It helps separate login problems from missing permissions, wrong organizations, teams, regions, or resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate why a person or automation cannot log in, find, edit, or manage a Konnect resource. It is not for API consumer credentials, Dev Portal app login, or gateway runtime authentication.
Why use it?
It prevents confusing authentication, resource visibility, and authorization problems with one another. It also points to the smallest next check before changing roles or teams.

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

konnect-access-scope 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Konnect access and scope troubleshooting

Goal

Explain why an identity can or cannot reach a Konnect surface, see a resource, or mutate it, then identify the narrowest next step.

Default to read-first inspection. Do not propose role or team changes until you have separated resource existence, endpoint selection, authentication, and authorization.

Use this skill for operator or automation access to Konnect itself. Do not use it for downstream API consumer auth, Dev Portal application credentials, or Gateway runtime auth flows.

Tool Selection

  • Use the shared kong-konnect MCP server first for live inspection when it is available in the session.
  • Use kongctl-query for read-only checks, identity inspection, and resource existence checks from the CLI surface.
  • Preserve the repository's chosen declarative toolchain when access-adjacent resources need to be codified: prefer kongctl-declarative for kongctl YAML and terraform-konnect for HCL-managed Konnect resources.
  • If the request depends on live Konnect state and kong-konnect MCP is not connected, say so early and continue with CLI or user-provided artifacts.

Do not treat declarative config in a repo as proof that a user should be able to see or edit the live resource. Live access always wins over intended state.

References To Load

Load only the reference file that matches the active branch:

  • references/region-org-and-team-checks.md
    • Load when wrong region, org, team, or resource slice is the likely cause.
  • references/visibility-vs-permission.md
    • Load when the hard question is whether the resource exists, is visible, or is writable by this identity.
  • references/idp-and-role-model.md
    • Load when SSO, SCIM, IdP-managed groups, additive roles, or external identity mastering is the real boundary.

Inspection Order

1. Identify the failing surface

Pin down:

  • which interface is failing: MCP, kongctl, Konnect UI, Konnect API, or Portal operator UI
  • which operation fails: authenticate, list, get, edit, create, delete
  • which resource scope is involved: organization, control plane, portal, catalog asset, analytics surface, or Event Gateway resource
  • whether the symptom is "cannot see it" or "can see it but cannot change it"
  • whether the caller is a human identity or an automation identity acting directly against Konnect

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.
