CMS CLI — `aliyun cms2`

Prerequisite Check

Check aliyun exists — which aliyun (macOS/Linux) or where aliyun (Windows).
- Not found → ask the user to install the aliyun CLI first: https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/121541.html. Stop and wait.
Check CLI version — run aliyun version. Minimum required: 3.3.15 (see compatibility in frontmatter).

⚠️ Compare version segments as integers (semver): 3.3.4 < 3.3.15 because 4 < 15. Shell verification: printf '%s\n' "3.3.15" "$(aliyun version)" | sort -V | head -1 If the output equals the current version, the requirement is NOT met.
- Version OK → go to step 3.
- Version too old or unrecognized →
  1. Run aliyun upgrade --help to test whether the upgrade subcommand exists.
    - Available → run aliyun upgrade -y to update to the latest version automatically, then re-check aliyun version.
  2. If upgrade not available → ask the user to upgrade manually following the official guide: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/cli/update-cli. Wait for the user to confirm the upgrade is complete, then re-check aliyun version.
  3. If upgrade succeeded → go to step 3.
  4. If upgrade failed → ask the user to upgrade manually: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/cli/update-cli. Stop and exit.
Check cms2 plugin — run aliyun cms2 --help.
- Help output OK → continue to Credentials.
- unknown command / missing → stop immediately, output the error report below (append CLI version, OS, and error message), and make no further CLI calls.

Credentials

aliyun cms2 reuses the aliyun CLI credential system (aliyun configure). Use --profile <name> to switch profiles.

Observability

Upon loading this skill, generate a random session ID (32-char lowercase hex string) once per session...

For every aliyun cms2 command, append: --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-cms-manage/{session-id}"

Global Conventions

Hard constraint: fallback to aliyun cms, other API versions, or any workaround is strictly prohibited.

Run aliyun cms2 <command> [subcommand] --help before first use of a subcommand in a session to get the full flag list and examples. Once the help for the same subcommand has been read in the current session and the command shape has not changed, reuse that knowledge instead of repeating the help call.

Prefer -o text (default) to reduce token consumption for list/get; use -o json only when indented JSON is needed.
Before onboarding concrete resource IDs, verify them with entity query --source CloudResource; do not rely on ID shape alone.
entity query default time range: when the user does not specify --from/--to, default to the last 7 days (--from = now − 7d, --to = now, both as Unix seconds).
CloudResource queries default to all regions: for entity query --source CloudResource, do not derive regions from workspace, policy, CLI defaults, prior commands, or existing policy regions. If the user does not explicitly limit the query to cloud resources in specific regions, omit the region parameter so cloud resources from all regions are queried. Only add a region parameter when the user explicitly provides a region constraint. State the final region coverage in the response.
Structured choice presentation: when the active runtime exposes a structured user-input tool (for example request_user_input, select, form, or equivalent), use it for mutually exclusive user choices such as addon selection, workspace selection, resource scope mode, metric candidate selection, and yes/no confirmations. Keep each option decision-useful: concise label plus one sentence describing impact or tradeoff. If the structured tool is unavailable, supports too few choices, or is not callable in the current mode, fall back to a numbered plain-text list and ask the user to reply with the number or exact name. Never claim a select/form was shown unless the tool call actually succeeded.
Human confirmation required for writes and high-impact creates: before any command that creates or changes cloud-side state (create, update, delete, patch, start, stop, etc.), show a concise confirmation summary and the exact command, ask whether the user confirms execution, and wait for a clear affirmative answer. The summary must include the operation, target resource identifiers, expected impact, and notable risks or irreversible effects when applicable. Do not require an exact phrase or long confirmation text; a clear affirmative answer such as "yes", "confirm", "proceed", or "确认" is sufficient approval. Skip confirmation only for dry-run, preview-only, or read-equivalent creates with no cloud-side impact; if uncertain, require confirmation.
Uncertain parameters must be explicitly answered by the user: for any parameter whose value is not explicitly provided or cannot be reliably determined (e.g. region/regionId, workspace, policy, resourceGroup, tag, resource scope, addonName, resource type, cloud product/service name, onboarding configuration options, etc.), ask the user for a clear answer before proceeding. The exception is entity query --source CloudResource region handling: when the user does not explicitly limit the query to specific regions, omit the region parameter and query all regions. Never fabricate, guess, infer from defaults/history, or arbitrarily choose one value.
Name-to-ID lookup must match exactly: when looking up a region ID, workspace ID, integration policy ID, resource group ID, resource type value, or cloud product/service name/code by name, if no exact match is found in the query results, do not silently pick an arbitrary value as a substitute. Instead, report the mismatch to the user and ask them to confirm or provide the correct value.
Workspace must be explicitly selected: before any integration policy or addon release creation, if the user did not explicitly provide a workspace name, list candidate workspaces and wait for the user to choose one. The common name pattern default-cms-{userId}-{regionId} is only a discovery hint and is never permission to auto-select that workspace.

Pagination & Query Failure Handling

Truncated results must not be treated as complete: when a list query response indicates truncation (e.g. truncated=true, or returned count < total count), do not conclude that an item does not exist based on the partial results alone. Either use filters/search parameters (check --help for available options like --search, --name, --keyword, etc.) to narrow the query, or paginate through all results before concluding absence.
Paginate to completion: for every list command that supports --next-token, keep querying until the result is complete. Completeness is reached when there is no nextToken, or when the accumulated item count is greater than or equal to totalCount. Do not trust the first page as complete when totalCount, truncated, or nextToken indicates more data.
Accumulated count reaches totalCount: if accumulated item count is already greater than or equal to totalCount, stop pagination even if nextToken is still non-empty or truncated=true; treat totalCount as the stronger completion signal and ignore the extra pagination signals.
Empty page with satisfied totalCount: if a page returns no items and the accumulated item count is already greater than or equal to totalCount, stop even if a nextToken is still present. This pattern can appear in recently changed list results.
Token loop protection: track seen nextToken values; stop if a token repeats and report the result as partial or token-anomalous.
Page limit: use a page limit for all pagination loops. A default limit of 20 pages is acceptable; if reached, report that results are partial.
Transient query failure: if a read-only status query fails with a transient server-side error such as DEADLINE_EXCEEDED or timeout, retry once before classifying the result.
Persistent query failure: if the retry still fails, mark that dimension as Unknown / QueryFailed; do not treat query failure as either healthy or unhealthy.

Error Handling

Error codes and actions are listed in aliyun cms2 --help. Additional tips:

InvalidJSON usually means malformed --body; validate with jq . <<<'<value>' before passing to the CLI.
--body and stdin are mutually exclusive; specify only one — means both --body (or --file) and stdin data were provided. Fix: keep only one input source. In agent/CI environments where stdin may be a pipe, append < /dev/null to the command to ensure stdin is empty.

Output Language and Terminology

User-facing explanations, analysis, recommendations, summaries, and conclusions MUST be written in Simplified Chinese.
Use the Glossary terms below for all user-facing prose. Do not leave mapped domain terms in English when a Chinese term exists.
CLI command names, flags, API paths, JSON field names, enum values, resource IDs, metric names, and log/error messages MUST remain verbatim English/code.
On first mention, write mapped terms as 中文（English） only when it helps disambiguate; after that, use the Chinese term only.
Before sending a final answer, scan the response for mapped English terms and replace them with the Glossary Chinese term unless they are inside code, commands, JSON fields, IDs, or quoted CLI output.

Examples:

Good: 接入配置（AddonRelease，CLI 命令为 addon-release）
Good: 查询接入配置状态：aliyun cms2 integration addon-release list ...
Bad: all releases are Ready
Better: 所有接入配置均 Ready

Metadata Query Mapping

| What You Need | How to Get It | |--------------|---------------| | Resource metadata & instance details (entityType, scopes, ID, region, tags, etc.) | entity query --source CloudResource (raw cloud resource; infer metadata from properties) | | Entity data ingested into a workspace (workspace-scoped; proves past ingestion, not current onboarding) | entity query --source EntityStore | | Authoritative addon onboarding status | For CS/ACK bind-resource scenarios: integration policy list --bind-resource-id <id> plus integration addon-release list --policy-id <policyId>; for CS/ECS also check collector status (see Step 4). For Cloud sub-types such as RDS/SLB/ALB: integration policy list --addon-name <addonName> plus integration addon-release list --policy-id <policyId> --addon-name <addonName> and evaluate the release scope. | | Policy-scoped Kubernetes resources | Use integration resource list --policy-id <policyId> --kind <Kind>; for Namespace under the first policy, use the first policyId from the current integration policy list result. Never use entity query --source CloudResource --entity-type acs.k8s.namespace for this. | | Metric business metadata (namespaces & product codes via meta namespaces; metric name, type, unit, dimensions via meta metrics) | meta namespaces / meta metrics | | Prometheus labels, values & series inspection | metric promql labels / label-values / series | | Prometheus instance by policy | aliyun cms2 integration storage list --policy-id <policy-id> --storage-type Prometheus |
