llamacloud-index

llamacloud-index is a skill for Claude Code from run-llama/llamaparse-agent-plugins. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for answering questions from documents stored in a LlamaCloud Index, a managed searchable collection of files. It covers finding files and retrieving or searching their contents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find indexed files, retrieve relevant passages, or search within stored documents through LlamaParse's connected tools.
Why use it?
It helps an agent locate the right document and passage instead of relying on one broad search result. The files may include PDFs, Office documents, images, and other unstructured documents.

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

llamacloud-index 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 10d 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.

LlamaCloud Index v2 — Agentic Retrieval Guide

Answer questions from documents stored in Index v2, the managed knowledge base of the LlamaParse Platform, using the Index v2 tools exposed by the LlamaParse MCP server.

Index v2 is built for agentic retrieval: beyond semantic search, it gives you file-system-like access to the underlying documents (PDFs, Office documents, images, and other unstructured files). This skill is about using that access well — navigating the index the way you would a file system, instead of firing a single one-shot RAG query and hoping the top results contain the answer.

Authentication

All tools require a valid session. The MCP server uses OAuth — no API key is needed, and authentication happens in the MCP client on first use. If a tool call returns an authentication error, ask the user to re-authenticate before retrying. Do not retry automatically without prompting the user.

The Tools

Tool What it does Key inputs
getUserProjects Lists the project IDs associated with your account
listIndexes Lists the indexes you can query — vector-indexed directories whose files you can find, read, and grep, and over which you can perform retrieval projectId (optional)
findFilesInIndex Locates files within an index by exact name or name substring fileNameContains (substring match, recommended) or fileName (exact match)
readFileFromIndex Reads the content of a file in an index — the whole file, or a window of it fileId, offset (chars), maxLength (chars)
grepFileFromIndex Greps a file's content for a pattern fileId, pattern, contextChars (context around each match), limit (max matches)
retrieveFromIndex Performs hybrid (sparse + dense) retrieval over an index query, topK (default 10), rerankTopN (enables reranking; off if omitted)

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.
