Alicloud Backup Hbr

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a legitimate Alibaba Cloud Backup helper, but it can use Alibaba Cloud credentials to make backup configuration changes, so mutations should be reviewed carefully.

Before using this skill, configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials for only the needed HBR operations, confirm region and resource IDs before any change, and review local output files because they may contain cloud resource details.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The agent may make real changes to Alibaba Cloud Backup configuration if given a mutation task.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly directs the agent toward mutating Alibaba Cloud HBR APIs. This matches the backup-management purpose, but mistakes could change live backup policies or resources.

Skill content
Change/configure: prefer `Create*` / `Update*` / `Modify*` / `Set*` APIs for mutations.
Recommendation

Use only for intended HBR tasks, confirm the exact region/resource/action before mutations, and review results with describe/list APIs.

What this means

The agent can act with whatever permissions those Alibaba Cloud credentials have.

Why it was flagged

The skill may use Alibaba Cloud credentials from the environment or local shared credential file. This is expected for Alibaba Cloud management, but it delegates cloud account authority to the agent.

Skill content
Environment variables: `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET` / `ALICLOUD_REGION_ID` ... Shared config file: `~/.alibabacloud/credentials`
Recommendation

Provide least-privilege credentials limited to the needed Cloud Backup/HBR actions and region, and avoid using broad administrator keys.

What this means

Local output files may reveal information about cloud backup resources and operations.

Why it was flagged

The skill stores local evidence and summaries that may include cloud resource identifiers or operational details. This is purpose-aligned but creates local artifacts users should protect.

Skill content
Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under `output/alicloud-backup-hbr/`. Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.
Recommendation

Keep the output directory private, avoid saving secrets in evidence files, and delete artifacts when no longer needed.
