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 | $0.00052 | $0.03159 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01580 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00632 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00316 |
Grade B, and why
exploiting-cloud-platforms 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 yesterday.
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.
Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery
One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Exploiting Cloud Platforms
When to Use
- AWS, Azure, or GCP security assessment
- Cloud misconfiguration exploitation
- S3/Blob/Storage bucket hunting
- Cloud IAM privilege escalation
- Serverless function exploitation
- Cloud metadata service abuse
When NOT to Use
- On-premises Active Directory — use
attacking-active-directory - Container and Kubernetes internals — use
exploiting-containers - IaC and pipeline review from source — use
auditing-supply-chain - Investigating a cloud compromise — use
responding-to-incidents - Hardening an account's posture rather than attacking it — use
hardening-cloud-posture
Route to a Depth Skill
Cloud has grown several attack surfaces deep enough to warrant their own procedure skill. When the assessment narrows to one of these, switch — the IAM-and-storage methodology here does not carry their specific detail.
| Signal | Skill |
|---|---|
| Entra ID / Azure AD as the identity target: tokens, PRTs, consent grants, hybrid sync | attacking-entra-id |
| A managed Kubernetes cluster (EKS/GKE/AKS): pod-to-cloud IMDS, IRSA/Workload Identity, k8s RBAC | attacking-eks-gke-aks |
| Lambda / Azure Functions / Cloud Functions / Workers: event injection, execution-role abuse | attacking-serverless |
| CI/CD pipeline with OIDC federation to the cloud: broad trust policies, runner compromise | abusing-ci-cd-oidc |

What ships with it
1 file 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.

exploiting-cloud-platforms is a skill published in the GitHub repository trilwu/secskills (134 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 3,159 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
