A Zilliz Cloud volume tool for managing a cloud-stored file area. It can copy local files or directories into a managed volume and provide temporary upload access.

Use it to upload datasets or other files to a Zilliz Cloud volume, place them under a chosen path, and manage volume access or contents.

It avoids requiring a separate manual credential step for each upload and supports retry and file-conflict choices during transfer.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00041	$0.00654
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00262
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00131
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00065

Security

Grade A, and why

volume 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 14d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites

CLI installed and logged in (see setup skill).
A project and cloud region to create the volume in (see project-region skill).

Commands Reference

Upload Local Files to a Volume

volume upload copies a local file or directory into a managed volume. It requests temporary credentials itself (the same ones volume apply returns), so there is no separate credential step.

# Upload one file to the volume root
zilliz volume upload --name <volume-name> --source ./data.parquet

# Upload a directory's contents under data/2026-10/
zilliz volume upload --name <volume-name> --source ./dataset --path data/2026-10/

# Optional:
#   --path <dir-in-volume>    Target directory inside the volume (default: volume root)
#   --policy <policy>         overwrite | skip-if-exists | skip-if-same-size | size-and-mtime
#                             (default: skip-if-same-size)
#   --concurrency <n>         Concurrent upload requests (default: 5)
#   --part-size <MiB>         Multipart part size, 5-5120 (default: auto)
#   --max-retries <n>         Retries per failed storage request (default: 5)

A file is uploaded as <path>/<file name>; a directory's contents are uploaded under <path>/ keeping their relative layout. Uploads work on AWS, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud volumes.

Create a Volume

zilliz volume create \
  --project-id <project-id> \
  --region <cloud-region> \
  --name <volume-name>

List Volumes

zilliz volume list --project-id <project-id>
# Pagination: --page-size <n> --page <n>
# Fetch all pages: --all

Delete a Volume

zilliz volume delete --name <volume-name-to-delete>

Describe a Volume

zilliz volume describe --name <volume-name>

Apply temporary upload credentials for a managed volume path

zilliz volume apply --name <volume-name>
# Optional: --path <path>

Guidance

Before deleting a volume, confirm with the user.
To put local files into a managed volume, use volume upload rather than volume apply -- apply only returns temporary credentials for the user's own tooling. External volumes are read-only and reject uploads.
Re-running an upload skips files already present with the same size, so an interrupted upload can simply be re-run. Use --policy overwrite to force a re-upload.
To load uploaded files into a collection, start an import job that references the volume (see the import skill).

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.
