zpa-application_segment-pra-onboard

zpa-application_segment-pra-onboard is a skill for Claude Code from zscaler/zscaler-mcp-server. It costs 174 tokens per session (3,990 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup for Zscaler Private Access Privileged Remote Access, which lets authorised users connect to SSH or RDP systems through a browser. SSH is a command-line remote connection method, and RDP is Windows remote desktop access.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for onboarding browser-based access to servers, jump hosts, and bastion systems, including connector groups, credentials, the PRA portal, application segments, and access rules.
Why use it?
It handles the dependent ZPA resources needed to publish remote systems securely. Users can connect through the ZPA portal without a native SSH or RDP client or the Zscaler client software.

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

zpa-application_segment-pra-onboard 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 3d 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.

ZPA: Onboard Privileged Remote Access (PRA) Application

Keywords

privileged remote access, pra, rdp access, ssh access, jump host, bastion host, jumpbox, pra portal, pra credential, agentless rdp, agentless ssh, browser rdp, browser ssh, secure remote access

Overview

Onboard a new Privileged Remote Access (PRA) application in Zscaler Private Access. PRA segments publish RDP and SSH targets to authorized users through Zscaler's PRA portal — the end user connects through their browser without a native RDP/SSH client and without ZCC. The connection is brokered by the PRA portal and authenticated using PRA credentials managed as separate ZPA resources.

This skill walks through the full dependency chain: connector group → server group → segment group → PRA credentialPRA portalPRA application segment with apps_config → access policy rule.

Use this skill when: The admin explicitly mentions Privileged Remote Access, PRA, RDP, SSH, jump host, bastion, or "publish a Windows/Linux server for browser-based remote access."

DO NOT use this skill when:

  • The admin wants a regular client-routed application segment (any TCP/UDP app reachable via ZCC) — use zpa-application_segment-onboard instead.
  • The admin wants to publish a clientless web application — use zpa-application_segment-ba-onboard instead.
