use-slicer-proxy

use-slicer-proxy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slicervm/agent-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (4,864 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A network gate for Slicer microVMs, which are small virtual machines. It controls their HTTP(S) connections, records requests, and supplies stored credentials without exposing the real secrets to the VM.

In plain words
What is it for?
Allowing specific hosts, paths, methods, or ports; injecting Bearer, Basic, or OAuth credentials; auditing requests; expiring access rules; and forwarding raw TCP connections such as SSH or PostgreSQL.
Why use it?
It prevents a VM from reaching unapproved websites or sending credentials where they do not belong. It also provides a record of outbound requests for review.

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 B, and why

use-slicer-proxy scanned grade B with 3 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 9d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo slicer ca init --hostgroup sbox

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

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Reset the CA: stop the daemons, `sudo rm -rf .slicer/ca/<hostgroup> proxy.crt proxy.key`, then re-run `slicer ca init`.

Slicer Proxy — filtered egress and secret injection for microVMs

Slicer Proxy is a daemon that runs alongside Slicer and becomes the only egress path for microVMs. Use it to:

  • Audit and log every outbound HTTP(S) request from a VM
  • Default-deny egress and allow only specific hosts / paths / methods / ports
  • Inject credentials (Bearer, Basic, OAuth) so the VM never sees the real secret
  • Expire rules automatically with a TTL
  • Passthrough raw TCP (SSH, Postgres, cert-pinned clients) without TLS termination

This skill assumes a running Slicer daemon — see the use-slicer skill for connecting to one. Full docs: https://docs.slicervm.com/proxy/

Concepts

Slicer Proxy separates three nouns:

  • client — a name plus a token. The VM authenticates to the proxy with that token (carried in HTTPS_PROXY), which is how the proxy identifies it — no source-IP guessing.
  • secret — a named upstream credential (bearer, basic, or an oauth-* type). The value lives on the proxy, never in the VM.
  • allow rule — owned by a client: a host plus optional paths / methods / ports / ttl, and optionally a referenced secret.

Default deny. A client with no rules reaches nothing. An allow rule may be bare (just open a host) or reference a secret (inject a credential when it matches).

Ports and bind address

  • :3128 — plaintext listener → HTTP_PROXY=http://:<token>@<ip>:3128
  • :3129 — TLS listener → HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy:<token>@<ip>:3129
  • Proxy IP: Linux defaults to 192.168.222.1 (set with --bind); macOS is 192.168.64.1 (the NAT gateway).

The :3129 outer certificate is signed by the host group CA, so a guest that already trusts the Slicer CA validates it with no extra flags.

Setup on Linux

Slicer Proxy only makes sense with isolated networking — the only mode where the proxy is the sole egress path. In bridge mode the VM has direct NAT'd Internet and bypasses the proxy entirely, so rules do nothing.

  1. Generate an isolated config that drops all egress except the proxy ports:

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.

use-slicer-proxy is a skill published in the GitHub repository slicervm/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 4,864 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
