Alibaba Cloud Firewall Status Overview

What it does

Provides a single-command workflow that queries Alibaba Cloud Firewall (CFW) using the aliyun CLI and returns an overview of managed assets, protection coverage across Internet/VPC/NAT boundaries, and a summary of recent traffic trends. The skill runs a prescribed set of cloudfw CLI commands, extracts key metrics (protected vs unprotected assets, firewall switch status, traffic peak and averages), and formats them into a concise operational report for cloud operators.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need a fast, read-only audit of an Alibaba Cloud account's firewall posture — for incident triage, daily operations checks, or compliance spot-checks. It is designed for operators who can run the aliyun CLI and want an immediate snapshot of protection coverage and traffic trends across the supported regions.

What's included

• Scripts: none (skill is a documented CLI workflow relying on aliyun cloudfw commands)
• References: bundled references/ directory with RAM policy and verification guides (has_references=true)
• Instructions: step-by-step CLI commands, required parameters, required ai-mode toggles, and strict error/retry rules are documented in the SKILL body. The skill enforces pagination, jq filters for large trend outputs, and clear parameter defaults.

Compatible agents

• Compatible with agents that can run shell/CLI commands (Copilot-style and CLI-enabled assistants). The skill assumes availability of the aliyun CLI and jq on the execution environment.
