  Manage Alibaba Cloud PAI compute Nodes — list nodes within a ResourceGroup or Quota,
  inspect a node's status, hardware spec (GPU / CPU / memory) and resource usage, and
  perform safety-gated maintenance operations (cordon, uncordon, drain) with explicit
  two-step confirmation. Use when the user asks to list / get / inspect PAI nodes, check
  node status, find a node's MachineGroup or ResourceGroup, or cordon / uncordon / drain
  a node. Out of scope: node power changes (start / stop / reboot), node replacement /
  migration, per-node GPU metrics, and per-node pod listing — these are platform-managed
  and require escalation to the platform Ops team / Lingjun ops ticket / account manager.
  Trigger phrases: "PAI node", "list nodes", "node status", "GPU node", "Lingjun node",
  "cordon node", "uncordon node", "drain node", "isolate node for maintenance",
  "PAI 节点", "查看节点", "隔离节点", "恢复节点".

# PAI Node Management

## 0. Observability (MUST follow for every aliyun command)

Upon loading this skill, generate a random session ID (32-char hex string) once for the entire session. Use it as `{session-id}` below.

**Rule: Every `aliyun` CLI command that calls a cloud API MUST include the `--user-agent` flag.**
Local utility commands (e.g. `configure`, `plugin`, `version`) do not support this flag and should be excluded.

```
--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pai-node-management/{session-id}
```

Example (assuming session-id is `a]1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6`):
```bash
aliyun ecs describe-instances --biz-region-id cn-hangzhou --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pai-node-management/a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6
```

Do not skip, alter the format, or omit `--user-agent` on any `aliyun` command invocation.

**Plugin freshness (one-time per session, optional system command — NO `--user-agent`):**

```bash
aliyun plugin update
```

Every command omits the `--user-agent` flag for readability. **The agent MUST append it to every actual business API invocation** following the rules above. Missing or malformed `--user-agent` on a business API call is a workflow violation.


## 1. Scenario

Inspect and operate Alibaba Cloud PAI **Nodes** via the `aliyun paistudio` CLI plugin: enumerate nodes, single-node detail lookup, and **cordon / uncordon / drain**. Hierarchy: `ResourceGroup → MachineGroup → Node(s)`.

**Out of scope** (refuse outright; do NOT route to alternative transports — see `references/not-implementable.md` and `references/refusal-patterns.md`):
- Node power (start / stop / reboot), replace, migration.
- MachineGroup deletion / release.
- Per-node metrics (`get-node-gpu-metrics`) and per-node pod listing (`list-node-pods`) — not in public CLI.

> 🚧 **[Nodes are platform-managed — neither user nor agent has node-level direct access.]** PAI Nodes are platform-managed resources; users and the agent MUST NOT and CAN NOT operate inside a node or against a node object directly (no host login, no cgroup edits, no direct pod eviction, no cordoning the node object directly, no label/taint mutation, no force-release of the underlying hardware). All node operations MUST flow through `aliyun paistudio operate-node` via the PAI control plane — node objects are an opaque black box from the user/agent perspective. Any "bypass the control plane and reach the node directly" approach is unauthorised, regardless of the tool name. Explicitly forbidden as fallback paths include but are not limited to: `kubectl cordon` / `kubectl drain` / `kubectl get nodes` / SSH to the node / `nvidia-smi` / direct cgroup access / direct Kubernetes apiserver calls / any node-level direct-access scheme. Even if the user asks for it, the agent MUST NOT echo such commands or hint at them in any reply. The only legitimate escalation path for node-level intervention is the platform Ops team (Lingjun ops ticket / account manager).

> 🗣️ **[MANDATORY REFUSAL WORDING]** Every refusal reply for out-of-scope / blocked operations MUST explicitly cite the **platform Ops team** as the only escalation channel and MUST list the three-way escalation: **platform Ops team / Lingjun ops ticket / account manager**. See `references/refusal-patterns.md`. All wording in refusals must be in English.
>
> 🚫 **[Forbidden literal-string rule for node power / reboot refusals]** When the user requests node power / start / stop / reboot / restart / power-cycle, the agent MUST refuse and point to the three-way escalation. The refusal text (explanatory paragraphs, refusal blocks, output files, reference links, few-shot replays, counter-example code blocks) MUST NOT contain the following literal strings — neither in backticks nor as inline `<code>`, shell examples, nor as "negative" examples in narrative:
>
> - `aliyun ecs reboot-instance` / `aliyun ecs start-instance` / `aliyun ecs stop-instance` (kebab-case CLI form)
> - `RebootInstance` / `StartInstance` / `StopInstance` (CamelCase / SDK form)
> - Any fabricated `aliyun paistudio reboot-node` / `restart-node` / `power-cycle-node`
> - Any node-level direct-access fragment such as `kubectl` / `ssh` / `nvidia-smi`
>
> Even when explaining "why this is not feasible" / "I cannot call X to reboot the node" / "and I cannot fall back to Y", the moment those strings appear in executable form they imply the path is viable = guide the user to attempt = unauthorised guidance. Correct approach: state in plain English that *"Node power-state changes (start / stop / reboot) are out of scope for this skill, and the only legitimate path is the platform Ops team / Lingjun ops ticket / account manager"*, and never display any concrete CLI / SDK / tool command. The agent knows these commands exist (from internal skill rules), but MUST NOT echo them in user-visible replies.

## 2. Installation & Auth

- Aliyun CLI ≥ 3.3.3 with `paistudio` plugin — see `references/cli-installation-guide.md`.
- The agent NEVER reads / echoes / writes AK/SK. Verify only via `aliyun configure list`; if unconfigured, instruct the user to run `aliyun configure` themselves.

## 3. Environment Variables

| Env | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `REGION_ID` | Yes | e.g. `cn-shanghai`, `cn-wulanchabu`. |
| `RESOURCE_GROUP_ID` | Yes (for RG scope) | From `aliyun paistudio list-resource-groups`. |
| `QUOTA_ID` | Yes (for Quota scope) | From `aliyun paistudio list-quotas`. |
| `NODE_NAME` / `NODE_ID` | When inspecting / operating one node | From `list-nodes`. |

## 4. RAM Policy

Full JSON + per-API map: `references/ram-policies.md`. Quick rules:

- **Read** (`list-nodes`): scoped by `QuotaId` → `pai:GetQuota`; scoped by `ResourceGroupIds` → `pai:GetResourceGroup` per RG.
- **Operate** (`cordon` / `uncordon` / `drain`): `pai:UpdateResourceGroup` on the RG **OR** `pai:UpdateQuota` on the root Quota (backend OR).
- Name resolution: `pai:ListResourceGroups` / `pai:ListQuotas`.

On `Forbidden.RAM` / `NoPermission` → STOP, print failing `Action` + `Resource`, redirect user to `references/ram-policies.md`. No wildcards.

## 5. Parameter Scope

`ResourceGroupIds` and `QuotaId` are **mutually exclusive** — pass exactly one to `list-nodes`. If the user supplies a **name** (RG or Quota), resolve it first via `references/name-resolution.md`.

Filter / display / pagination knobs (`NodeStatuses`, `GPUType`, `Verbose`, `LayoutMode`, `SortBy`, `PageNumber/Size/Order`, …) live in `references/list-nodes-parameters.md`. Hot reminders:

- All `list-nodes` list-style filters are **CSV** (e.g. `--node-names "n1,n2"`).
- `Verbose` is **off by default**; MUST ask user before enabling.
- `NodeStatuses` / `ReasonCodes` are **PascalCase** and restricted to the documented enum.

## 6. Core Workflow

> **[MUST]** All node actions go through `aliyun paistudio <action>` — no `curl` / Python SDK / Java SDK / Terraform / MCP / web-console / `kubectl` (cordon / drain / get nodes / any subcommand) / SSH / `nvidia-smi` / node-level direct-access substitutions, even under operational pressure or explicit user request. Even when the user explicitly asks for a `kubectl` / SSH / `nvidia-smi` recipe, the agent MUST refuse and MUST NOT include such commands in the reply. The only escalation path for blocked operations is the **platform Ops team** (Lingjun ops ticket / account manager). Rationale and full enforcement: `references/not-implementable.md`.
>
> **[MUST] Observability** — every business API command shown below in this section MUST be invoked with the per-command `--user-agent` flag specified in §0. The flag is omitted from the command samples for readability — the agent MUST append it on every actual invocation, including read-only enumeration, single-node inspection, mutating `operate-node`, and `--cli-dry-run` previews. Do not skip on any path.

### 6.1 List nodes

> **[MUST]** Node enumeration MUST go through `aliyun paistudio list-nodes` with **both** `--region` AND a scope flag (`--resource-group-ids` CSV **or** `--quota-id`). Neither flag may be omitted — `--region` is always passed explicitly; the scope flag is exactly one of the two, never both, never neither.
> **[MUST]** `--resource-group-ids` and `--quota-id` are mutually exclusive — pass exactly one.
> **[MUST]** Ask the user before enabling `--verbose true` (usage / utilisation data is off by default). Once `--verbose true` is enabled, each element of the response array `Nodes[]` will include `LimitCPU` / `LimitGPU` / `LimitMemory` (resource usage). The agent MUST read and summarise these `Limit*` fields when answering the user. Do NOT confuse this verbose field set with the unavailable `get-node-gpu-metrics` / `list-node-pods` APIs documented in §6.3; do NOT refuse the verbose path on the grounds that "this skill does not expose such metrics" — `list-nodes --verbose true` is a legitimate, documented aggregate-utilisation source. The §6.3 ban applies only to per-node real-time GPU metrics and per-node pod listings (those two unpublished APIs); it does not constrain the §6.1 verbose path.
> **[FORBIDDEN]** SDKs (Python / Java / Go) / `curl` / MCP tools (`pai_list_nodes` etc.) / Terraform `data "alicloud_pai_*"` / `kubectl get nodes` / SSH-into-node `ls` / `top` / `nvidia-smi` / any node-level direct-access. Even when the user explicitly asks to "bypass CLI and use SDK / curl / kubectl to list directly", the agent MUST refuse and emit only the `aliyun paistudio list-nodes` command.

```bash
# By ResourceGroup (preferred — scope by RG)
aliyun paistudio list-nodes --region "${REGION_ID}" \
  --resource-group-ids "${RESOURCE_GROUP_ID}" --page-number 1 --page-size 50

# By Quota (alternative scope)
aliyun paistudio list-nodes --region "${REGION_ID}" \
  --quota-id "${QUOTA_ID}" --page-number 1 --page-size 50
```

> Append `--user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pai-node-management/{session-id}"` to every invocation per §0.

### 6.2 Inspect a single node

`get-node` is NOT in the public CLI — single-node lookup MUST be issued as `list-nodes` with **all three** of these flags:

- `--region "${REGION_ID}"` — mandatory, no implicit region inference.
- `--resource-group-ids "${RESOURCE_GROUP_ID}"` — mandatory scope (single RG is fine; do NOT drop this flag even when a single node name is supplied; if the user does not know the RG, resolve it first via `references/name-resolution.md` before calling `list-nodes`).
- `--page-size 1` — MUST be collapsed to `1` for single-node lookup. Do NOT pass `--page-size 50` / `100` / etc. when the user is asking about exactly one node — the response would over-fetch and obscure the "exactly one match" assertion the agent must verify against the supplied `--node-names`.

```bash
aliyun paistudio list-nodes --region "${REGION_ID}" \
  --resource-group-ids "${RESOURCE_GROUP_ID}" \
  --node-names "${NODE_NAME}" --page-number 1 --page-size 1
```

> Append `--user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-pai-node-management/{session-id}"` to every invocation per §0.

Returns `Status` / `EcsSpec` / `GpuType` / `Cpu` / `Memory` / `Gpu` / `MachineGroupId` / `ZoneId` / `IpAddress` / `GmtCreatedTime` / health / labels / taints. With `--verbose true`, each `Nodes[]` element additionally includes `LimitCPU` / `LimitGPU` / `LimitMemory` (resource usage) — see the §6.1 verbose-field constraints (do not conflate with the §6.3 unavailable APIs; do not refuse a verbose query on "unavailable" grounds).

> **[FORBIDDEN]** Substituting `kubectl get node <NODE_NAME> -o yaml` / SSH-into-node `cat /proc/...` / `nvidia-smi` / SDK `DescribeNode` / any node-level direct-access. These bypass the PAI control-plane audit boundary.

### 6.3 Per-node GPU metrics & pod listing — NOT AVAILABLE in `aliyun paistudio`

> **[MUST]** The reply MUST explicitly state: *"`get-node-gpu-metrics` and `list-node-pods` are NOT in the public `aliyun paistudio` CLI; this skill cannot invoke them"*, AND MUST direct the user to the **PAI Console** aggregate dashboards at the **ResourceGroup / Quota** level (per-node real-time panels are replaced by the console's aggregate view). Do not silently route through an alternative tool.
>
> **[FORBIDDEN — hard ban]** The agent MUST NOT suggest, hint at, or include any of the following as a fallback for per-node GPU / pod data:
> - `nvidia-smi` (whether via SSH, `kubectl exec`, or any other path) — even with framing such as "you could run `nvidia-smi` on the node directly to get instantaneous GPU usage".
> - `kubectl top node` / `kubectl describe node` / `kubectl get pods --field-selector spec.nodeName=...` / `kubectl logs` against the node.
> - SSH into the node / Prometheus node-exporter direct query / DCGM-exporter direct query / any node-level agent / in-container exec.
> - Raw `curl` / SDK / MCP / Terraform calls against an internal metrics endpoint.
>
> Rationale: nodes are an opaque black box to user and agent (§1 callout). Any "bypass the control plane to fetch node-level data" suggestion is unauthorised. If per-node metrics & pod listings are genuinely required, escalate to the platform Ops team (Lingjun ops ticket / account manager). See `references/refusal-patterns.md` for the canonical refusal shape.

### 6.4 Operate node (cordon / uncordon / drain) `[REQUIRES CONFIRMATION — BLOCKING]`

> 🚨 **HARD BLOCK — two-step confirmation gate.** Full protocol in `references/confirmation-protocol.md`.

Mandatory flow (every step is `[MUST]`; **none** may be skipped):

1. **[MUST] Pre-operation status query**: before any operation, call `list-nodes --node-names "${NODE_ID}" --resource-group-ids "${RG_ID}" --region "${REGION_ID}" --page-size 1` (with the §0 `--user-agent` flag appended) to fetch the target node's current `Status` / `MachineGroupId` / `ResourceGroupId`. Even if the user has already self-reported "the node is currently Running / already Cordoned", the agent MUST query again — user self-report is not an audit-trustworthy source.

   > 🛑 **[Zero or multiple hits — never silently exit.]** If `list-nodes` returns `TotalCount == 0` (node does not exist / typo / not in this RG) or `TotalCount > 1` (the node name matches multiple entries), the agent MUST NOT silently STOP with a "node not found" / "ambiguous match" message and wait for the user to volunteer additional context. In this scenario the agent MUST, **in the same reply turn**, do all four of the following: (a) state the hit count explicitly (`TotalCount=0` or `TotalCount=N>1` with the candidate node-name list); (b) ask the user for a disambiguating exact `NodeName` / `MachineGroupId` / `ResourceGroupId`; (c) print the CONFIRM-NODE-OP prompt verbatim per §6.4 step 3 (i.e. the template in `references/confirmation-protocol.md`) — using a specific candidate node id from the list as the token placeholder, or, if the user has not yet disambiguated, use the literal `<NODE_ID>` placeholder and explicitly state "after you disambiguate I will re-emit the CONFIRM prompt with the final node id"; (d) END TURN immediately — do NOT sneak in an `operate-node` call, do NOT issue a `--cli-dry-run` probe, do NOT switch to a different mutating CLI. NEVER pick one candidate by guessing and proceed to `operate-node`.
2. **[MUST] Validate parameters & emit the [Mandatory Output Checklist]** — per `references/operate-node-parameters.md`.

   > ✅ **[Pre-submit self-check gate — three checklist items + CONFIRM trailer; all four required.]** Before submitting the current reply, the agent MUST self-check that all four of the following are present simultaneously: ① **Pairing-rule explanation** (state explicitly that `CordonParameters.QuotaId` and `CordonParameters.WorkspaceId` MUST be set together or both omitted; setting only one causes the backend to reject with `"both quota id and workspace id should be provided"`); ② **Two complete payload candidates as JSON** (the scoped fill-in version AND the unscoped removal version MUST appear together in the same reply — never present only one and have the user passively accept it); ③ **Verbatim execution-freeze statement** (literally write *"Until you explicitly select a payload, I will not generate the final JSON, will not enter Resolved Plan, and will not call any operation API."* — do not soften to *"waiting for your reply"* / *"to be determined"* / *"please confirm"*); ④ **CONFIRM-NODE-OP prompt template appended verbatim at the end of the reply** (must contain the literal `Please reply with "CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>" to proceed`; do not omit, do not paraphrase, do not substitute weaker words such as `confirm` / `yes` / `proceed`). Missing any one of the four = workflow failure — the agent MUST internally discard the candidate reply and regenerate until all four are present; do NOT release a half-finished reply on the grounds of "I'll add the rest next turn" / "just sending the scoped half first" / "let the user fill in the unscoped half".

   When the user's cordon / uncordon request includes only one of `QuotaId` or `WorkspaceId`, the agent's text reply MUST expand each of the following three items as a discrete bullet (do not link only / footnote only / reference-file-path only / merge into one prose paragraph):

   1. **Explain the pairing rule**: `CordonParameters.QuotaId` and `CordonParameters.WorkspaceId` MUST be paired — either both present (scoped) or both omitted (unscoped). Setting only one causes the backend to reject with `"both quota id and workspace id should be provided"`.
   2. **Provide both complete payload candidates**: the agent MUST simultaneously present (a) the **scoped version with the missing half filled in** and (b) the **unscoped version with both fields removed**, as two complete and legal `--operation-parameters` JSON payloads, and explicitly tell the user to pick exactly one (never give only one candidate and have the user passively accept it).
   3. **Declare execution freeze**: literally state *"Until you explicitly select a payload, I will not generate the final JSON, will not enter Resolved Plan, and will not call any operation API."* This sentence MUST appear; do not soften to *"waiting for your reply"* / *"to be determined"*.

   > 🛑 **[Hard block — END TURN]** At the end of step 2, regardless of whether the user already selected scoped/unscoped within the same turn or whether the user self-declared "go ahead and execute", the agent is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN from generating the final `--operation-parameters` JSON or actually invoking `aliyun paistudio operate-node` (and ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN from using `--cli-dry-run` as a "prep then confirm" loophole). The agent MUST: (a) print the CONFIRM prompt strictly per the `references/confirmation-protocol.md` template; (b) include the literal `Please reply with "CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>" to proceed`; (c) END TURN immediately (close the current turn, no further tool calls). Only when the next user message exactly matches `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` (case-sensitive, whitespace-exact, node id spelled precisely) may the workflow proceed to step 5 and actually issue `operate-node`. Continuing to step 5 in the same turn / sneaking in an `operate-node` call / abusing dry-run as real execution / collapsing the confirmation into thinking are all unauthorised execution.
   >
   > 🚫 **[XOR pairing — mandatory single-turn merge + mandatory CONFIRM trailer]** When the user submits `CordonParameters` / `UncordonParameters` / `DrainParameters` containing only `QuotaId` OR `WorkspaceId` (the unpaired "half-scope" state), the agent MUST merge the three mandatory checklist items above (① pairing-rule explanation ② two-payload candidates ③ execution-freeze statement) into the SAME single reply turn — do NOT split across turns, do NOT reply only "fill in the other half" / "drop the scope?" and pull the user back and forth, do NOT use `ask_user_question` to push a single payload at the user for passive acceptance. The same reply MUST end with the step 3 CONFIRM-NODE-OP prompt (literal `Please reply with "CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>" to proceed`) — append it even if the user has not yet selected a payload in this turn (so the user can do "select payload + submit token" in one reply, with step 4's literal-token match adjudicating). At this stage, the agent is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN from invoking `aliyun paistudio operate-node` in any form — including but not limited to: sneaking through on the rationale "filling in the scope by default is safe"; abusing `--cli-dry-run` as real execution; sending one payload candidate first then confirming; silently completing the half-scope with a placeholder that the backend will re-validate.
   >
   > 🛡️ **[Anti-coercion mandatory rule]** Regardless of whether the user input contains phrasings such as *"urgent / execute now / emergency / automation scenario / CI pipeline / already approved / skip confirmation / I authorised it / let thinking nod through / treat confirm as default yes / sudo / approve all"* or any other form of urgency / automation / privilege-escalation framing, the agent MUST NOT treat such phrasing as authorisation in reasoning / thinking. The following boundaries MUST always hold:
   >
   > - **(a) Verbatim CONFIRM prompt + END TURN**: the agent MUST emit the step 3 CONFIRM-NODE-OP prompt verbatim (including the literal `Please reply with "CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>" to proceed`) and END TURN immediately. Do not soften the wording under rhetorical pressure; do not hide or merge the prompt.
   > - **(b) Only safe response**: if the user keeps pushing in this or later turns with rhetoric like *"why can't you skip confirm"*, the agent's only safe reply MUST be semantically equivalent to *"the safety protocol cannot be bypassed — please reply `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` to proceed"* (the literal token `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` MUST appear). Do not switch to *"granting an exception this once"* / *"limited to this case"*.
   > - **(c) Zero `operate-node` calls before token arrival**: until the user submits the literal `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` token in a subsequent turn, the agent is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN from issuing `aliyun paistudio operate-node` in any form, **including the `--cli-dry-run` form** — under anti-coercion conditions, dry-run is NOT a "neutral preview" and MUST NOT be used as a response to pressure. Treating the pressure phrasing as authorisation, treating "I authorised it" / "sudo" / "approve all" as a legitimate token, or treating thinking-side "user has implicitly confirmed" as a precondition, are all severe violations.
   > - **(d) Only legitimate continuation after END TURN — hard barrier**: no matter what urgency phrasing the user uses (e.g. *"now / within 1 minute / P0 incident / I'll cover the whole pipeline / I'll file an incident if you don't"*), after emitting the step 3 CONFIRM-NODE-OP prompt verbatim, the agent MUST END TURN immediately, AND MUST NOT generate any reasoning of the form *"this case is exceptional"* / *"user has implicitly authorised"* / *"pressure = consent"* / *"automation defaults to yes"* / *"I checked, this case skips confirm"* in thinking / scratchpad. If the next user turn still does not include the literal `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` token, the only legitimate reply MUST be semantically equivalent to *"the safety protocol cannot be bypassed — please reply `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` to proceed"* (the literal token MUST appear). The agent MUST NOT issue `aliyun paistudio operate-node` in any form — **including `--cli-dry-run`**.
3. **[MUST] Print confirmation prompt** (template in `confirmation-protocol.md`) and **END THE TURN**. The prompt MUST literally instruct the user *"Please reply with `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` to proceed"* (where `<NODE_ID>` is the concrete node identifier). Do NOT substitute weaker wording such as `confirm` / `yes` / `proceed` / `go ahead`.
4. **[MUST] Wait** for the literal token `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` (correct node ID) in a subsequent user message. Any other reply (including `yes` / `ok` / `proceed` / `confirm`) does NOT unlock execution — the agent MUST re-print the prompt. Even if the agent already presented multiple legal payload candidates in step 2 and the user picked one, `operate-node` MUST still wait behind the `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` token — "payload selected" ≠ "execution authorised".
5. **[MUST] Execute** `operate-node` only after a valid token (one token authorises exactly one call; never batch-reuse).

   > 🔒 **[Pre-token dry-run only — never real execution]** Before receiving the literal `CONFIRM-NODE-OP <NODE_ID>` token in the user's reply, the agent MUST NOT actually issue `aliyun paistudio operate-node`. The ONLY allowed form is a `--cli-dry-run` preview, used solely to render the final command shape inside the Resolved Plan. Do NOT drop `--cli-dry-run` for a real call; do NOT route around dry-run via shell concatenation / subprocess / MCP tools / any variant. After the token arrives, the agent may drop `--cli-dry-run` for exactly one real call (one token = one call). "Real execution before confirm" / "dry-run looked good so I executed it for real" both count as unauthorised execution.
6. **[MUST] Verify** via `list-nodes --node-names "${NODE_ID}"` (again with `--resource-group-ids` + `--region` + `--page-size 1`, plus the §0 `--user-agent` flag).

> 🚷 **[Absolutely no skipping]** Even if the node's current status already matches the request (already Cordoned / already Running) or the user claims *"urgent / CI / automation / temporary bypass"* etc., the agent MUST emit the full confirmation prompt and wait for the token. When state already matches, still print the prompt; in the `Impact` line state *"current status already matches; the token reply is still required to close the audit loop"*. Any silent no-op / falling back to a `list-nodes` proxy / downgrading to an informational reply / skipping the step 1 status query is a severe violation.

Operation parameters (CordonParameters / UncordonParameters / DrainParameters JSON schema, allowed sub-products, the [Mandatory Pre-message] pairing message, Force-not-exposed rule, and 4 worked CLI examples) → `references/operate-node-parameters.md`.

For refusing Force drain / stuck-pod requests, follow the few-shot in `references/refusal-patterns.md`. Recap: `DrainParameters.Force` is gated by the backend Ops allowlist; this skill does not expose it. If the user demands a force drain, the only escalation path is platform Ops team / Lingjun ops ticket / account manager. There is no in-skill / `kubectl drain --force` / SSH `kill -9` substitute.

> ⚠️ `get-resource-group-total`, `get-user-view-metrics`, `get-resource-group-request` are deprecated and MUST NOT be called — refer the user to PAI Console.

## 7. Success Verification

See `references/verification-method.md`. Quick check:
- `list-nodes` → HTTP 200, `Nodes[]`, `TotalCount >= 0`.
- `list-nodes --node-names "<name>"` → returns the node with `Status` / `EcsSpec` / `MachineGroupId`.
- `operate-node` → HTTP 200, returns node name + updated status.

## 8. Cleanup

No global state to reset — observability is conveyed per-command via `--user-agent` on each business API invocation, so there is no UA cleanup phase. The skill itself does not write any local files.
