Description
Identify and reduce GCP networking and egress costs across projects and regions
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and instruction-only, but before sharing data: (1) run the provided commands yourself in a least-privileged account and review outputs, (2) redact any account IDs, IAM emails, API keys, or other secrets from pasted text, (3) verify billing and network data contains no sensitive project identifiers you don't want shared, and (4) if you prefer, provide summarized metrics (cost totals by category/region) instead of raw exports. If the skill later asks for credentials, an endpoint, or an install, treat that as a red flag and stop.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: networking-optimizer
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate GCP cost optimization tool that provides instructions and read-only CLI commands (gcloud, bq) for the user to manually gather networking data. It explicitly avoids requesting credentials, focuses on standard optimization strategies like Private Google Access and Cloud CDN, and contains no evidence of malicious intent, automated exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the runtime instructions: the skill asks for billing exports, VPC/NAT configs and gives analysis steps relevant to GCP networking/egress cost reduction. Nothing requested (no env vars, no binaries, no installs) is unrelated to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is explicit that the skill is instruction-only and will not access GCP accounts directly; it provides concrete BigQuery and gcloud commands for the user to run and requests only exported/read-only outputs. It also includes a rule to never request credentials and to confirm pasted data contains no secrets.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present; nothing is downloaded or written to disk. This minimizes risk and aligns with the instruction-only design.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The requested inputs are exported data/CLI output and a minimal set of read-only IAM roles (documented) that are appropriate for running the suggested queries.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent presence or modify agent/system settings. It is user-invocable and allowed to be called autonomously (platform default), which is reasonable for an analysis skill with no extra privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install networking-optimizer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/networking-optimizer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of gcp-networking-optimizer.
- Provides step-by-step guidance to analyze and reduce GCP networking and egress costs.
- Requires users to supply exported billing data or JSON outputs from GCP CLI commands (read-only).
- Outputs clear egress breakdowns, top traffic patterns, and actionable optimization recommendations.
- Includes ROI analysis and Terraform snippet for configuring Private Google Access.
- No credentials required; user privacy and data security emphasized.
