What it does

Cloudinary is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Manage Cloudinary media: upload images and videos, list and inspect assets, update metadata, delete assets, and check plan usage. Trigger phrases: cloudinary, upload image, cloudinary usage.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/cloudinary.py`).

The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: cloudinary
  • Cloudinary usage

Example prompts

  • “/cloudinary”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The free plan is credit-based across storage/bandwidth/transformations: run usage before heavy work and stay inside the plan.
  2. Confirm with the user before uploading (it consumes bandwidth/transformation quota) and before deleting (deletes are permanent).
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key, secret, or cloud name values.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.cloudinary.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cloudinary loads about 862 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~862

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Cloudinary

Purpose

Manage media on Cloudinary through the Upload and Admin APIs: upload images and videos, list and inspect assets, update metadata and tags, delete assets, and check plan usage (credits, storage, bandwidth, transformations).

Tooling

All commands go through bin/cloudinary.py:

bash
bin/cloudinary.py auth                                        # verify the connection (also shows plan usage)
bin/cloudinary.py usage                                       # plan usage: credits, storage, bandwidth, transformations
bin/cloudinary.py upload --file ./photo.jpg                  # upload an image
bin/cloudinary.py upload --file ./clip.mp4 --resource-type video   # upload a video
bin/cloudinary.py upload --file ./photo.jpg --folder products # upload into a folder
bin/cloudinary.py list --prefix products/ --max-results 20    # list image assets
bin/cloudinary.py get --public-id products/photo1            # asset details
bin/cloudinary.py update --public-id products/photo1 --data '{"tags":["summer"],"context":{"caption":"Beach"}}'
                                                             # update metadata/tags (raw JSON body, per Cloudinary docs)
bin/cloudinary.py delete --public-id products/photo1         # delete an asset

Auth

  • Provider id: cloudinary (credential is collected as custom.cloudinary)
  • Collection: via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access) as a single colon-joined value cloud_name:api_key:api_secret; the three parts come from the Cloudinary Console at Settings, API Keys. The collection step stores them as three named entries (cloud_name, api_key, api_secret) under custom.cloudinary; the CLI splits them at use: cloud_name goes into the request host, and api_key:api_secret go into the HTTP Basic auth header.
  • Required scopes: n/a (account API key pair)
  • Allowed hosts: api.cloudinary.com
  • Status check: bin/cloudinary.py auth
  • Wire format (verbatim from Cloudinary's docs): Authorization: Basic base64(api_key:api_secret) against https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/{cloud_name}.

Operating Rules

  1. The free plan is credit-based across storage/bandwidth/transformations: run usage before heavy work and stay inside the plan.
  2. Confirm with the user before uploading (it consumes bandwidth/transformation quota) and before deleting (deletes are permanent).
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key, secret, or cloud name values.

Maturity

🧪 Draft: written from Cloudinary's public Upload and Admin API docs; not yet live-tested end to end. The three-part credential split (single collected value, split into entries at use) is the design assumption to re-verify on first live run.
