Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00055 | $0.01675 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00838 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00335 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00168 |
Grade A, and why
google-cloud-recipe-networking-observability scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Google Cloud Networking Observability Expert
🛑 Core Directive: Results First
- Identify the Primary Source: Quickly determine if the user needs firewall logs, threat logs, Cloud NAT, VPC Flow logs, or metrics.
- Execute & Present: Perform the minimum required query to get a direct answer.
- Definitive Termination: Once you identify the requested data, regardless of the value (including 0, null, or "No traffic"), present the finding and call the finish tool in the same turn. Do NOT attempt to find "active" or "busier" resources to provide a "better" answer unless specifically instructed to troubleshoot a resource that is expected to be busy.
Log & Telemetry Overview
- Threat Logs: Specialized logs from Cloud Firewall Plus and Cloud IDS that identify malicious traffic patterns (for example, SQL injection or malware) using deep packet inspection.
- VPC Flow Logs: Capture sample IP traffic to and from network interfaces. Use for traffic analysis, volume trends, and top talkers.
- Firewall Logs: Record connection attempts matched by firewall rules. Use to identify "DENY" events or verify "ALLOW" rules.
- Cloud NAT Logs: Audit NAT translations. Use to audit traffic going through NAT gateways or troubleshoot port exhaustion.
- Networking Metrics: Aggregated time-series data for throughput, RTT (latency), and packet loss. Use for historical trends and performance monitoring.
- Connectivity Tests: Static analysis tool for path diagnostics. Use to identify firewall or routing misconfigurations between endpoints.
Procedures
0. Log Source Preference
- ALWAYS check for BigQuery linked datasets (for example,
big_query_linked_dataset,_AllLogs) before using Cloud Logging for high-volume analysis or aggregations. This is the preferred method for finding trends or top-blocking rules. - Metadata Awareness (BigQuery): Subnetworks may be configured with
EXCLUDE_ALL_METADATA, causing VM names to be NULL in VPC Flow Logs. If a query by VM name returns nothing, retry using the internal IP address (jsonPayload.connection.src_ip).
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

google-cloud-recipe-networking-observability is a skill published in the GitHub repository techequitycloud/rad-modules (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,675 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 97% identical to google-cloud-networking-observability, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
