orca-identity-review

orca-identity-review is a skill for Claude Code from orcasecurity/orca-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (3,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An identity-permission review tool for cloud accounts, roles, and service accounts. It compares what an identity can access with what it actually uses, including AWS IAM permissions and CloudTrail activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing IAM roles or users, checking whether access is excessive, mapping possible movement between systems, and creating least-privilege recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps find excessive access and estimate what an attacker could reach if an identity were compromised.

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

orca-identity-review 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 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.

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.

Orca Identity Review Skill

Answers the question: "Is this identity overprivileged, and what's the blast radius if it's compromised?"

Given an IAM role, user, or service account, analyzes effective permissions vs actual usage from CloudTrail, identifies overprivileged access, maps lateral movement potential, and generates a least-privilege recommendation.

Usage

/orca-identity-review admin-role
/orca-identity-review arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/bastion-admin-role

Or natural language:

  • "review the permissions on admin-role"
  • "is terraform-deploy overprivileged?"
  • "identity risk for orca-scanner-role"
  • "what can this role access?"

Processing Logic

Step 1: Find the Identity

Input Pattern Tool Parameter
ARN format arn:aws:iam::... get_asset_by_id asset_id with appropriate model_type
Role/user name get_asset_by_name asset_name, model_type: "AwsIamRole" or "AwsIamUser"
Name (ambiguous) Try get_asset_by_name with each IAM type, or discovery_search

If multiple results, show list and ask user to pick.

Extract: ARN, identity type (Role/User/ServiceAccount), account, creation date, tags, attached policies.

Step 2: Gather Data (run ALL in parallel)

Query 1: Effective permissions

get_aws_effective_permissions_policy_on_asset:
  asset_arn: "<identity ARN>"

Returns the current effective permissions AND a recommended least-privilege policy.

Query 2: Alerts on this identity

get_asset_related_alerts_summary:
  asset_id: <UUID>

Query 3: Alert severity breakdown

get_asset_alerts_count_grouped_by_risk_level:
  asset_id: <UUID>

Query 4: What this identity has DONE (CloudTrail)

search_cdr_events:
  actors: ["<identity ARN>"]
  time_range: "last_30_days"
  limit: 100

Query 5: Action summary

get_cdr_events_grouped_by_event_name:
  actors: ["<identity ARN>"]
  time_range: "last_30_days"

Query 6: Attack paths

get_asset_related_attack_paths_summary:
  asset_id: <UUID>
