System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to securely read files on remote hosts that require sudo privileges, ensuring that sensitive information is handled safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sudo Elevated Access: Read files that the SSH user cannot access directly, such as root-owned files or files in restricted directories.
  • Path Policy: Enforces path policies to ensure that only authorized files are read.
  • Secure Data Handling: Returns file content as base64 encoded bytes, preventing sensitive data from being exposed.
  • Use Case: Retrieve a root-owned configuration file from a remote server without exposing its contents.

Quick Start

Use the ssh-sudo-read skill to securely read the configuration file '/etc/ssh/sshd_config' from the remote host 'prod-server'.
