Biznet GIO CLI

Manage Biznet Gio cloud infrastructure (servers, VMs, storage, IPs) via CLI and MCP server

Security Scan

The skill's requests and runtime instructions are coherent with its stated purpose (a Biznet Gio CLI wrapper); it asks only for the expected API key and to run the npm CLI via npx, which matches the description.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (manage Biznet Gio cloud resources) matches the declared requirements: a Biznet Gio API key, Node.js runtime, and use of the @biznetgio npm packages. Nothing unrelated (no AWS/other cloud secrets, etc.) is requested.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the CLI via `npx @biznetgio/cli@latest` and to use BIZNETGIO_API_KEY (or --api-key). It stays within the scope of cloud management and instructs conservative confirmation behavior for destructive actions. Note: running `npx` executes remote code at runtime (see install_mechanism) — the functional instructions themselves do not request unrelated system files or secrets.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill that relies on `npx` to fetch and run `@biznetgio/cli` and `@biznetgio/mcp` from npm. Using npm and a scoped package is expected for a CLI; however `npx @latest` executes dynamically-downloaded code, which carries typical supply-chain/execution risk. The SKILL.md suggests safer alternatives (pin a version, pre-install, use GitHub releases).

Credentials

Only BIZNETGIO_API_KEY (required) and an optional BIZNETGIO_BASE_URL are declared and used. These are proportional and directly related to the stated purpose; no unrelated credentials or broad environment access are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent/always-on presence (always: false). It does not declare modifications to other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with unusual privileges.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent, but it executes code fetched from npm at runtime. Before enabling it: (1) avoid pasting your API key into a chat — use environment variables or a scoped credential; (2) consider pinning to a known package version or pre-installing and reviewing the package source on GitHub; (3) run the CLI in a sandbox or isolated environment if possible; (4) limit/rotate the API key's permissions and have a revocation plan; and (5) follow the skill's own guidance to always confirm destructive actions before proceeding.

Name	Biznet Gio Cloud Management
Description	Manage Biznet Gio cloud infrastructure (servers, VMs, storage, IPs) via CLI and MCP
Homepage	https://github.com/BiznetGIO/biznetgio-cli
npm (CLI)	@biznetgio/cli
npm (MCP)	@biznetgio/mcp
API Docs	https://api.portal.biznetgio.com/v1/openapi.json
License	MIT
Primary Credential	BIZNETGIO_API_KEY

Required Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
BIZNETGIO_API_KEY	Yes	API token from Biznet Gio Portal. Sent as x-token header on every request. Do not hardcode — always use env var.
BIZNETGIO_BASE_URL	No	Override API base URL. Defaults to https://api.portal.biznetgio.com/v1. Useful for staging/dev environments.

Required Binaries

Binary	Version	Required	Description
node	>= 18	Yes	Node.js runtime for the CLI and MCP server.
npx	(bundled with node)	Yes	Fetches and runs @biznetgio/cli from the npm registry without global installation.

Runtime Note

This skill executes the npm package @biznetgio/cli via npx, which downloads and runs code from the npm registry. The package is published under the @biznetgio npm scope by Biznet Gio. Source code is available at github.com/BiznetGIO/biznetgio-cli. If you require stronger guarantees, you can:

• Pre-install with npm install -g @biznetgio/cli and verify the package before use
• Use the pre-built standalone binaries from the GitHub releases
• Pin to a specific version: npx @biznetgio/cli@1.0.0 instead of @latest
• Run in a sandboxed environment

---

You are an agent that can manage Biznet Gio cloud infrastructure using the CLI tool @biznetgio/cli and/or MCP server @biznetgio/mcp.

Important Instructions

1. Always use npx to run the CLI. No installation required.
2. Read-only commands run without confirmation. Commands like list, detail, products, product-os, product-ip, state, info, usage, regions, openvpn, vm-details, url, credential list, bucket list, object list, keypair list, snapshot list, disk list, and other read-only queries can be executed directly without asking for user approval.
3. Confirm before create, update, or delete actions. Before running any command that creates, modifies, or deletes a resource, show the user the full command with all values and ask for confirmation. The user may want to revise parameter values before execution.
4. For destructive actions (delete, rebuild, state changes), double confirm. Clearly warn the user about the impact and ask explicitly: "Are you sure?"
5. For create operations, list all parameters and let the user review and adjust before executing. Show product options, OS choices, and pricing when available.

How to Run

# With API key inline
BIZNETGIO_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY> npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> [arguments] [options]

# Or export the key first
export BIZNETGIO_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY>
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> [arguments] [options]

# Or pass API key as flag
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> --api-key <YOUR_KEY> [arguments] [options]

• API Key: environment variable BIZNETGIO_API_KEY (sent as x-token header), or --api-key flag
• Base URL: https://api.portal.biznetgio.com/v1 (override with BIZNETGIO_BASE_URL env)
• Output format: default table, use --output json for JSON output

Available Services

Service	CLI Command	MCP Tool Prefix	Description
NEO Metal	metal	metal_*	Bare metal servers
Elastic Storage	elastic-storage	elastic_storage_*	Storage for bare metal
Additional IP	additional-ip	additional_ip_*	Additional IPs for bare metal
NEO Lite	neolite	neolite_*	Virtual machines (lightweight)
NEO Lite Pro	neolite-pro	neolite_pro_*	Virtual machines (pro-tier)
Object Storage	object-storage	object_storage_*	S3-compatible object storage

General Pattern

npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> [arguments] [options]
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <subgroup> <action> [arguments] [options]

Global options: --api-key <key>, --output table|json

Output Behavior

• Default: table — List data is displayed as formatted tables. Nested objects (billing, specs, options) are automatically flattened. Billing is summarized as price/mo.
• --output json — Raw JSON from the API .data field.
• Primitive responses (e.g. delete, update-label) return plain text like success or true.
• Empty lists show No data found.

Valid Enum Values

• Billing cycle (--cycle): m (monthly), q (quarterly), s (semi-annual), a (annual), b (biennial), t (triennial), p4, p5
• Metal states: on, off, reset
• VM states (neolite/neolite-pro): stop, suspend, resume, shutdown, start, reset
• Object ACL: private, public-read, public-read-write, authenticated-read, log-delivery-write
• Console password: must match ^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)[a-zA-Z\d]{8,}$ (min 8 chars, uppercase + lowercase + digit, alphanumeric only — no special characters)
• Label: max 16 characters

Workflow & Best Practices

Before Creating Resources

1. List products first to get valid product_id values:

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest metal products
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite products
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest object-storage products
   

2. Check available OS for a product:

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest metal product-os <product_id>
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite product-os <product_id>
   

3. Check available keypairs (or create one first):

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite keypair list
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite keypair create --name "my-key"
   

4. Check IP availability (neolite):

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite product-ip <product_id>

Destructive Actions - Use With Caution!

The following commands are destructive and cannot be undone. ALWAYS confirm with the user before running:

• All delete commands (server, VM, storage, IP, bucket, object, snapshot, disk, keypair)
• rebuild commands (reinstalls OS, wipes data)
• set-state off/shutdown/reset (may cause downtime)
