At a glance

Encrypted Saved Objects (ESO) in Kibana — registration, AAD attribute choices, partial update safety, model version migrations with createModelVersion, canEncrypt checks, and Serverless constraints.

  • Works in 2 steps: Register the Saved Object type with Core → Register with the ESO Service
  • Working with ESO types
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use ESOs, Registration and Partial Update Safety, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Encrypted Saved Objects is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Encrypted Saved Objects (ESO) in Kibana — registration, AAD attribute choices, partial update safety, model version migrations with createModelVersion, canEncrypt checks, and Serverless constraints. Use when creating, modifying, or working with ESO types.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Serverless. It works with Elasticsearch. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with ESO types
  • Tasks that involve Serverless

Example prompts

  • “/encrypted-saved-objects”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Register the Saved Object type with Core
  2. Register with the ESO Service

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee7c86b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • elastic.co

    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

Encrypted Saved Objects loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,678 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,678 words (~4,318 tokens).

“An Encrypted Saved Object (ESO) is a Saved Object type registered with the ESO Service to specify:”
