What it does

Cloud API Operations is an agent skill from TencentCloudBase/CloudBase-AI-Toolkit. Operate Tencent Cloud control-plane resources (monitoring/alarms, CLB, CAM roles, COS, MySQL, SCF) via cloud APIs when no dedicated MCP tool covers the task. Use when a task needs control-plane operations beyond CloudBase's own tooling, or when a callCloudApi call failed and needs classifying.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/calling-methods.md`, `references/recipes/README.md` and `references/recipes/custom-domain.md`).

It sits in Databases, covering MCP servers. It works with Tencent Cloud and MySQL. The repository describes itself as: Backend for AI coding agents on CloudBase — database, auth, functions via Plugin, Skills & MCP. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A task needs control-plane operations beyond CloudBases own tooling
  • A callCloudApi call failed and needs classifying

Example prompts

  • “/cloud-api-operations”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Discover the API — resolve names from a documented source
  2. Choose the calling path
  3. Check credentials before the first call
  4. Follow a proven recipe when one exists

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ea2c202. 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.

    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):

    • docs.cloudbase.net
    • cloud.tencent.com
    • console.cloud.tencent.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

Cloud API Operations loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~27k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 718 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~27k

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.

Cloud API Operations

Operate Tencent Cloud resources that CloudBase depends on but that no dedicated MCP tool covers (monitoring & alarms, CLB, CAM roles, cross-product infra). Two goals: find the right API without guessing, and reuse proven workflows instead of re-exploring.

Sibling skills (local only)

Sibling CloudBase skills ship beside this skill. Use local relative paths such as ../cloudbase-platform/SKILL.md.

If a referenced sibling skill file is missing from this environment, ask the user to install the full CloudBase plugin (or the missing skill). Do not HTTP-fetch remote skill or protocol markdown into the agent context.

When to use

  • The user asks to manage/operate Tencent Cloud resources beyond CloudBase's dedicated MCP tools (e.g. configure alarm policies, inspect CLB, attach CAM policies).
  • The user wants to control these resources from code and asks which API/SDK to use.
  • A callCloudApi call failed and you need to classify the error (wrong Action / wrong params / missing CAM permission) and recover.

Workflow

1. Discover the API — resolve names from a documented source
  1. Read the API index first: https://docs.cloudbase.net/ai/cloudbase-ai-toolkit/api-reference.md — auto-synced daily, action-level coverage (TCB 105 + dependency products: MySQL / SCF / COS). Check rate limits there too. The index check is a quick grep — run it in parallel with step 2/3 fetches, do not serialize.
  2. If the index does not cover the target product, go to the product's official API docs (e.g. monitor: https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/649/30343) and confirm the exact Action name, Version, and parameters.
  3. For machine-readable parameter schema, fetch the official SDK models source directly — see ./references/calling-methods.md §2 item 4.

Done when: the Action name, Version, and full parameter shape each trace to the index, official product docs, or SDK models source — nothing from memory. A call that still returns action ... is invalid or not found means a name was not resolved this way; classify and recover via the error table in ./references/calling-methods.md §1.

API first:公开 API 概览就是契约边界。 索引里查不到某个能力,它就不在公开契约内 —— 不要拿某个 SDK 的封装方法反推未公开的 Action 名去调(这类 Action 不受公开文档保护,非该语言的使用者也无从照做)。此时改用有公开 API 的等价路径,或把缺口明确告诉用户。本 skill 的 recipes 只收录公开 API 覆盖的场景。

2. Choose the calling path
ScenarioPathReference
Interactive ops inside this sessionMCP callCloudApi./references/calling-methods.md §1
Picking the service identifier / deciding whether version is neededMCP callCloudApi./references/service-versions.md
User's code / scriptsOfficial SDKs (TC3-HMAC-SHA256) or @cloudbase/manager-node./references/calling-methods.md §2
Quick one-off verificationAPI Explorer (https://console.cloud.tencent.com/api/explorer)—

Priority rule: if @cloudbase/manager-node has a matching method, use it; drop to raw cloud API only when it does not.

Show full SKILL.md (327 more words)Show less
3. Check credentials before the first call
  • Read the current credential scope from auth tools: credential_scope: account = account-level, reaches control-plane APIs subject to that identity's CAM policies; env = API Key, scoped to one environment's data plane plus the fixed TCB policies.
  • Permission comes from a different place per credential identity: the account-level identity's own policies, the API Key model (no channel to attach arbitrary CAM policies), or the TCB service role that CLI / MCP assume. Which cross-product capabilities that role family already covers is not fixed — read the attached policies (ListAttachedRolePolicies + GetPolicy) instead of assuming, and treat UnauthorizedOperation as "this identity lacks this action", never as a broken setup.
  • On UnauthorizedOperation / AuthFailure, hand the user a one-click CAM grant link (role name + policy name + principal) instead of telling them to go find the policy in the console, then retry the original call. Role targets, the principal values, and which preset policy covers what: ./references/calling-methods.md §3.

Done when: the credential identity is known, and every permission error has been converted into a clickable authorization link carrying a concrete policy name before any retry.

4. Follow a proven recipe when one exists

Recipes encode the exact call sequence, required parameters, and empirically discovered pitfalls so the flow works on the first pass. One scenario per file — start from the index ./references/recipes/README.md, whose 状态 column records how far each recipe has been verified:

  • PostgreSQL storage-usage alarm: ./references/recipes/pg-storage-alarm.md
  • ICP filing readiness and wait-time checks: ./references/recipes/icp-filing-readiness.md
  • PostgreSQL instance spec change and shared-to-dedicated upgrade: ./references/recipes/pg-instance-spec.md
  • Custom domain onboarding for an env (HTTP access domain, certificate, DNS binding): ./references/recipes/custom-domain.md

Done when: every parameter value in the call sequence traces to a recipe value marked as verified (实测) or to official docs.

Constraints

  • Region is a top-level region argument (X-TC-Region), never a body param. Some APIs additionally take a short region code inside Dimensions (e.g. sh vs ap-shanghai) — these are different fields.
  • Route SDK-language details to official SDK docs or sdkHints; keep this skill SDK-language-agnostic.
