zia-onboard-location is a skill for Claude Code from zscaler/zscaler-mcp-server. It costs 140 tokens per session (3,580 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for adding a new office, branch, or data-center location to Zscaler Internet Access and connecting its traffic through an IPSec VPN tunnel. It creates the required network address and VPN credentials before the location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Onboarding sites, creating static IP records and VPN credentials, configuring locations, and optionally adding sub-locations.
Why use it?
It handles the dependencies that must exist before a location can be configured and supports different VPN credential setups.

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

zia-onboard-location 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.

ZIA: Onboard Location

Keywords

onboard location, new location, add location, branch office, zia location, traffic forwarding, vpn credentials, static ip, ipsec tunnel, site onboarding, sub-location, office setup

Overview

Onboard a new location in Zscaler Internet Access by walking through the full traffic forwarding dependency chain. Locations require either static IPs or VPN credentials (or both) before they can be created. This skill covers both UFQDN-based and IP-based VPN credential flows, sub-location creation, and location configuration options.

Use this skill when: An administrator wants to add a new office, branch, or datacenter location to ZIA, configure traffic forwarding for a new site, or set up IPSec VPN tunnels for location-based security.


Dependency Chain

Static IP (optional, required for IP-based VPN)
     │
     ▼
VPN Credentials (UFQDN or IP type)
     │
     ▼
Location (references VPN credentials and/or static IPs)
     │
     ▼
Sub-Location (optional, references parent location)
```text

**Two flows:**

- **UFQDN flow** (simpler): Create VPN credential (UFQDN) -> Create location with VPN credential
- **IP flow** (full chain): Create static IP -> Create VPN credential (IP) referencing static IP -> Create location with both static IP and VPN credential

---

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Site Information

Ask the administrator:

**Required:**

- Location name (e.g., "USA_SJC_37", "London_Office_01")
- Country (e.g., "UNITED_STATES", "CANADA", "UNITED_KINGDOM")
- Timezone (e.g., "UNITED_STATES_AMERICA_LOS_ANGELES", "CANADA_AMERICA_VANCOUVER")
- Traffic forwarding method: UFQDN-based VPN or IP-based VPN

**For UFQDN-based VPN:**

- FQDN identifier (e.g., "<[email protected]>")
- Pre-shared key for the IPSec tunnel

**For IP-based VPN:**

- Public IP address of the site's egress point
- Pre-shared key for the IPSec tunnel

**Optional:**

- Description
- State (e.g., "California")
- Profile: `CORPORATE`, `SERVER`, `GUESTWIFI`, `IOT`, `WORKLOAD`, or `NONE`
- Authentication settings (auth_required, idle_time_in_minutes)
- Firewall/IPS settings (ofw_enabled, ips_control)
- Bandwidth limits (up_bandwidth, dn_bandwidth)
- Surrogate IP settings
- XFF forwarding
