cipp-standards is a skill for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/msp-claude-plugins. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,313 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for defining and checking the expected Microsoft 365 setup across managed customer accounts. It includes reporting, alerts, automatic fixes, recommended-practice reports, and email-authentication checks for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define Microsoft 365 baselines, review customer compliance, run checks on demand, and fix email-authentication problems.
Why use it?
It helps find differences between the setup you expect and the setup customers actually have. It also provides a controlled way to report or fix those differences.

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

cipp-standards 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 4d 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.

CIPP Standards & BPA

Standards are CIPP's mechanism for declaring "this is what every tenant we manage should look like" and continuously enforcing it. The Best Practice Analyser (BPA) is the read side — it shows you where current tenant state diverges from CIPP's recommended baseline. Domain health is a complementary check focused on email authentication.

Anti-triggers

  • Drift against an Inforcer baseline — Inforcer and CIPP both say "baseline", "drift", and "secure score" but measure different things against different templates; a tenant can be CIPP-compliant and Inforcer-drifted at once. Use inforcer-baseline-alignment.
  • Inspecting Conditional Access policies — CA policies are not CIPP standards and do not appear in BPA output; use cipp-security.
  • Triaging what an Alert-mode standard actually raised — the queue those alerts land in is cipp-alerts.
  • Drift measured across more than the CIPP-managed estate — the cross-vendor method for comparing tenants to a baseline and deciding what to remediate is compliance-pack-standards-drift; this skill is the CIPP standards engine it reads.

Tools

cipp_list_standards

cipp_list_standards(tenantFilter='contoso.onmicrosoft.com')

Returns the list of standards configured for the tenant: which standards are enabled, what action each takes (Report, Alert, Remediate), and current compliance status. Use tenantFilter='allTenants' for a portfolio-wide view.

cipp_run_standards_check

cipp_run_standards_check(tenantFilter='contoso.onmicrosoft.com')

Triggers an on-demand standards evaluation. CIPP runs this on a schedule, but force a fresh run after deploying a new standard or remediating a finding to confirm the fix took.

cipp_list_bpa

cipp_list_bpa(tenantFilter='contoso.onmicrosoft.com')

Returns the latest Best Practice Analyser report — every CIPP-recommended check with Pass/Fail/Warn status across categories (Security, Identity, Mail, SharePoint, Teams, Intune). The most useful single call for tenant health.

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.
