Alibabacloud Dms Skill

Alibaba Cloud DMS Database Read/Write

Search for target databases and execute SQL queries and data modifications via Alibaba Cloud DMS OpenAPI.

Scenario Description

This skill implements the following workflow:

1. Search Target Database — Search databases by keyword to get Database ID
2. Execute SQL Query — Execute SQL statements on the target database

Architecture

User Request → Search Database → Get Database ID → Execute SQL → Return Results

Prerequisites

AI-Mode Lifecycle (MUST follow in order)

This skill MUST run inside an AI-Mode session. Treat the following five steps as a strict lifecycle — do not skip, reorder, or interleave the setup steps with command execution:

1. aliyun configure ai-mode enable                                              # Enable AI-Mode
2. aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-dms-skill   # Register skill User-Agent
3. aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true && aliyun plugin update      # Plugin update
4. <execute DMS commands via ./scripts/*.sh>                                    # Execute commands
5. aliyun configure ai-mode disable                                             # Disable AI-Mode (Cleanup)

Steps 1–3 belong to setup (this section). Step 4 is covered by Core Workflow. Step 5 is covered by Cleanup.

Pre-checks

Pre-check 0: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required Run aliyun version to verify >= 3.3.3. If not installed or version too low, run curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/setup.sh | bash to install/update, or see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation instructions.

Pre-check 1: Enable AI-Mode [MUST] run aliyun configure ai-mode enable to enable AI-Mode before any other configuration or command. This activates the AI-Mode session that downstream OpenAPI services use to recognize agent-issued traffic.

Pre-check 2: Register skill User-Agent under AI-Mode [MUST] run aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-dms-skill to register this skill's identifier as the AI-Mode User-Agent for the current session. Run this immediately after ai-mode enable and before any plugin update or DMS command.

Pre-check 3: Aliyun CLI plugin update required [MUST] run aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true to enable automatic plugin installation. [MUST] run aliyun plugin update to ensure that any existing plugins are always up-to-date. Plugin update MUST happen AFTER AI-Mode is enabled and the User-Agent is registered, so the plugin manager itself reports the correct identifier.

• Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3
• jq (for JSON parsing): brew install jq
• Credentials configured via aliyun configure

Pre-check 4: Alibaba Cloud Credentials Required Security Rules: - NEVER read, echo, or print AK/SK values (e.g., echo $ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID is FORBIDDEN) - NEVER ask the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation or command line - NEVER use aliyun configure set with literal credential values - ONLY use aliyun configure list to check credential status ``bash aliyun configure list ` Check the output for a valid profile (AK, STS, or OAuth identity). **If no valid profile exists, STOP here.** 1. Obtain credentials from [Alibaba Cloud Console](https://ram.console.aliyun.com/manage/ak) 2. Configure credentials **outside of this session** (via aliyun configure in terminal or environment variables in shell profile) 3. Return and re-run after aliyun configure list` shows a valid profile

[MUST] Per-command CLI User-Agent — In addition to the AI-Mode User-Agent registered in Pre-check 2, every aliyun CLI command invocation in step 4 MUST also include: --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-dms-skill The per-command flag and the AI-Mode session-level setting are complementary — both MUST be present so the identifier is sent on every request even if the AI-Mode session expires.

RAM Permissions

[MUST] RAM Permission Pre-check: Verify that the current user has the following RAM permissions before execution. See references/ram-policies.md for the complete permission list.

Parameter Confirmation

IMPORTANT: Parameter Confirmation — Before executing any command or API call, ALL user-customizable parameters (e.g., database keyword, SQL statement, db-id, etc.) MUST be confirmed with the user. Do NOT assume or use default values without explicit user approval.

Core Workflow

Task 1: Search Target Database

Search for databases by keyword to get the Database ID:

./scripts/search_database.sh <keyword> --json

Example:

# Search for databases containing "mydb"
./scripts/search_database.sh mydb --json

The output includes database_id, schema_name, db_type, host, port, etc.

Task 2: Execute SQL Query

Execute SQL using the Database ID obtained in the previous step:

./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id <database_id> --sql "<SQL_statement>"

Write Operation Protection

For write operations (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), the script implements protective pre-check:

DDL Operations (DROP/TRUNCATE/ALTER/RENAME) are completely blocked — these must be executed via DMS Console.

Examples:

# Read operations (no confirmation needed)
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "SHOW TABLES"
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10" --json

# Write operations - preview first (recommended)
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ('test')" --dry-run

# Write operations - execute with confirmation
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ('test')" --force
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "UPDATE users SET name='test' WHERE id=1" --force
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "DELETE FROM users WHERE id=1" --force

# Logic database mode
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "SELECT 1" --logic

Complete Example

# 1. Search database (assuming searching for "order")
./scripts/search_database.sh order --json
# Example output:
# [{"DatabaseId": "78059000", "SchemaName": "order_db", ...}]

# 2. Execute query
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id 78059000 --sql "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM orders"

Success Verification

After executing SQL, check the returned results:

1. Script return code is 0
2. Output contains query results (column names and row data)
3. No error messages

# Verify query success
./scripts/execute_query.sh --db-id <db-id> --sql "SELECT 1" --json
# Expected output: [{"Success": true, "RowCount": 1, ...}]

Cleanup

This skill performs read and write operations but does not create persistent resources, so no database resources need to be released.

However, the AI-Mode lifecycle requires an explicit teardown step:

[MUST] Disable AI-Mode after all tasks complete Run aliyun configure ai-mode disable once all DMS commands in this skill session have finished
