A skill for finding and reading documents stored in a LlamaCloud Index, a hosted searchable collection of files such as PDFs and office documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when answering questions from indexed documents through the LlamaParse Platform API.
Why use it?
It provides a documented way to locate relevant files and passages instead of relying on a single search result.

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 B, and why

llamacloud-index scanned grade B with 2 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

LlamaCloud Index v2 — Agentic Retrieval Guide

Answer questions from documents stored in Index v2, the managed knowledge base of the LlamaParse Platform. Every operation is a single authenticated HTTP call, so from a shell the cheapest interface is curl + jq: you can compose calls, batch independent lookups into one command, and bound exactly how much output enters the conversation.

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.

Setup

export LLAMA_BASE="https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1"   # EU accounts: https://api.cloud.eu.llamaindex.ai/api/v1
AUTH=(-H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json")

If a call returns 401/403, ask the user to check LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY (and the region) — do not retry in a loop.

The API

Operation Call Key body fields
List indexes GET /indexes
Retrieve passages POST /retrieval/retrieve index_id, query, top_k, rerank ({enabled, top_n}, enabled by default), score_threshold, static_filters, custom_filters
Find files POST /retrieval/files/find index_id, file_name_contains (substring, recommended) or file_name (exact)
Grep a file POST /retrieval/files/grep index_id, file_id, pattern (regex), context_chars
Read a file POST /retrieval/files/read index_id, file_id, offset, max_length (chars; omit for full file)

file_id values come from the find and retrieve responses. Full parameter reference: retrieval · file operations.

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.

llamacloud-index is a skill published in the GitHub repository run-llama/llamaparse-agent-skills (78 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 2,225 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
