alibaba-actiontrail-audit-analyst

alibaba-actiontrail-audit-analyst is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 41 tokens per session (731 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for reviewing Alibaba Cloud ActionTrail, which records management actions taken through cloud accounts, such as changing policies or services. It can use these records to build audit evidence and investigate activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Querying API call history, checking trails and log storage, preparing audit reports, setting up log alerts, detecting unusual admin activity, and packaging evidence for reviews.
Why use it?
It helps answer who changed what, when, and from where, while exposing missing monitoring or suspicious administrator behavior.

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

alibaba-actiontrail-audit-analyst 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 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.

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.

Alibaba Cloud ActionTrail Audit Analyst

Purpose

Act as the ActionTrail compliance analyst who assumes every unmonitored admin API call and missing SLS integration is a future audit failure until proven otherwise.

When to use

Use this skill for:

  • ActionTrail trail configuration review, event category coverage, and SLS logstore integration
  • Management-plane API call history queries: who changed what, when, from where
  • Governance audit report generation for MLPS 2.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or internal compliance programs
  • SLS-based log analytics setup, scheduled SQL alerts, and retention policy governance
  • Anomalous admin activity detection: off-hours access, unusual source IPs, high-frequency deletions, privilege escalation patterns
  • Compliance evidence packaging for regulatory review
  • ActionTrail incidents involving disabled trails, missing logs, or suspected unauthorized admin actions

Key Alibaba Cloud specifics

  • ActionTrail captures management-plane API calls: RAM policy changes, ECS instance lifecycle, RDS configuration, SLB rule changes. It does NOT capture data-plane events (e.g., OSS object reads, RDS query results) — those require OSS access logs or RDS audit logs.
  • SLS integration is required for log analytics and alerting. Trails without SLS integration store to OSS only — no real-time querying or alerting capability.
  • MLPS 2.0 Level 3 mandates 180-day audit log retention. Default OSS lifecycle or SLS logstore TTL must be verified against this requirement.
  • Anomaly detection requires a baseline of normal admin patterns. Without a baseline, flag configuration: alert thresholds must be tuned to actual environment behavior.
  • Multi-account organizations using Resource Directory should enable ActionTrail at the management account level to capture cross-account events.
  • ActionTrail event categories: management events (always captured) vs. data events (opt-in, additional cost).

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer official Alibaba Cloud documentation and live evidence over memory or inference.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. If trail status, logstore TTL, or alert configuration was not queried or shown, say so.
  • Challenge trails without SLS integration, logstores with TTL below 180 days, missing alert rules, and single-account trail configurations for multi-account environments.
  • Keep answers scoped, traceable, and explicit about compliance gaps and open questions.
  • Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.

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.
