How does it choose the Security Center API to call?

It uses OpenAPI metadata to list APIs and inspect required schemas for product code `Sas`, with `2021-01-14` as the default API version.

Where does it get Alibaba Cloud credentials and region settings?

It first checks `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET`, and optional `ALICLOUD_REGION_ID`, then falls back to `~/.alibabacloud/credentials`. If the region is unclear, it asks before mutating resources.

How are API results verified and recorded?

Changes are checked with describe or list APIs. Artifacts, command outputs, and response summaries go to `output/alicloud-security-center-sas/`, including region, resource ID, and time range when relevant.

Security

Alibaba Cloud Security Center SAS

Manage and verify Alibaba Cloud Security Center resources through OpenAPI or official SDKs.

What it does

Manage Alibaba Cloud Security Center resources through RPC OpenAPI calls using official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer. The workflow discovers Sas API schemas, confirms region and resource identifiers, performs list, configuration, or status operations, then verifies results with describe or list APIs. Artifacts and API response summaries are saved under the designated output directory with key parameters for reproducibility.

When to use it

Inventorying Security Center resources
Updating Security Center configuration
Querying resource or service status
Troubleshooting through describe and query APIs

The skill document

Category: service

Security Center

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage resources for Security Center.

Workflow

Confirm region, resource identifiers, and desired action.
Discover API list and required parameters (see references).
Call API with SDK or OpenAPI Explorer.
Verify results with describe/list APIs.

AccessKey priority (must follow)

Environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALICLOUD_REGION_ID Region policy: ALICLOUD_REGION_ID is an optional default. If unset, decide the most reasonable region for the task; if unclear, ask the user.
Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials

API discovery

Product code: Sas
Default API version: 2021-01-14
Use OpenAPI metadata endpoints to list APIs and get schemas (see references).

High-frequency operation patterns

Inventory/list: prefer List* / Describe* APIs to get current resources.
Change/configure: prefer Create* / Update* / Modify* / Set* APIs for mutations.
Status/troubleshoot: prefer Get* / Query* / Describe*Status APIs for diagnosis.

Minimal executable quickstart

Use metadata-first discovery before calling business APIs:

python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py

Optional overrides:

python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py --product-code  --version

The script writes API inventory artifacts under the skill output directory.

Output policy

If you need to save responses or generated artifacts, write them under: output/alicloud-security-center-sas/

Validation

mkdir -p output/alicloud-security-center-sas
for f in skills/security/host/alicloud-security-center-sas/scripts/*.py; do
  python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/alicloud-security-center-sas/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-security-center-sas/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under output/alicloud-security-center-sas/.
Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.

Prerequisites

Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
Prefer environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optional ALICLOUD_REGION_ID.
If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
