Alibabacloud Odps Quota Manage

MaxCompute Quota Management

Manage MaxCompute (ODPS) Quota resources using Alibaba Cloud CLI and SDK. This skill covers pay-as-you-go quota creation, quota query, and quota listing operations.

Limitations and Notes

Important:

• Create Subscription Quota is temporarily NOT supported in this skill. For subscription quota creation, please use the Alibaba Cloud Console.
• Delete Quota operation is NOT available through CLI or SDK. You must use the Alibaba Cloud Console to delete quotas.
• query-quota is preferred - get-quota is deprecated but acceptable if it returns success
• ⚠️ CRITICAL: When checking if quota exists, ALWAYS use list-quotas, NEVER use get-quota
• 🚨 MANDATORY: Before create-quota, MUST call list-quotas first - NEVER skip this step

Architecture

Alibaba Cloud Account → MaxCompute Service → Quota Resources (CU)
                                           ├── Pay-as-you-go Quota (后付费) ← **Creation Supported**
                                           └── Subscription Quota (预付费) ← Query/List only

Installation

Pre-check: 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 update, or see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation instructions.

Pre-check: Aliyun CLI plugin setup required [MUST] Install the maxcompute plugin manually: aliyun plugin install maxcompute [MUST] Update the plugin to latest version: aliyun plugin update maxcompute

# Verify CLI version
aliyun version

# Install maxcompute plugin (confirm when prompted)
aliyun plugin install maxcompute

# Update maxcompute plugin to latest version
aliyun plugin update maxcompute

[MUST] CLI User-Agent — Every aliyun CLI command invocation must include: --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-odps-quota-manage

At the start of the Core Workflow (before any CLI invocation): [MUST] Enable AI-Mode — AI-mode is required for Agent Skill execution. Run the following commands before any CLI invocation:

aliyun configure ai-mode enable
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-odps-quota-manage"

[MUST] Disable AI-Mode at EVERY exit point — Before delivering the final response for ANY reason, always disable AI-mode first. This applies to ALL exit paths: workflow success, workflow failure, error/exception, user cancellation, session end, or any other scenario where no further CLI commands will be executed. AI-mode is only used for Agent Skill invocation scenarios and MUST NOT remain enabled after the skill stops running.

aliyun configure ai-mode disable

Environment Variables

This skill relies on the aliyun CLI default credential chain. No explicit credential configuration is needed.

• Run aliyun configure to set up credentials before first use
• Do NOT explicitly handle or pass credential values in commands

Timeout Configuration:

• ALIBABA_CLOUD_CONNECT_TIMEOUT: Connection timeout (default: 10s)
• ALIBABA_CLOUD_READ_TIMEOUT: Read timeout (default: 10s)
• These defaults are sufficient for quota operations; no explicit configuration required

Parameter Confirmation

IMPORTANT: Parameter Confirmation — Before executing any command or API call, ALL user-customizable parameters (e.g., RegionId, quota nicknames, billing types, etc.) MUST be confirmed with the user. Do NOT assume or use default values without explicit user approval.

Input Validation

Security Note: All user inputs are passed to aliyun CLI which handles parameter sanitization. Do NOT construct commands using string concatenation with raw user input.

Commodity Codes (for Pay-as-you-go)

Authentication

Security: Never expose credentials

• Don't print AK/SK values
• Don't ask user to type AK/SK in chat
• Don't use aliyun configure set with hardcoded values

Check credentials:

aliyun configure list

If no credentials, ask user to run aliyun configure first, then continue.

Core Workflow

🚨 STEP 0 - CONFIRM PARAMETERS WITH USER BEFORE ANY EXECUTION:

Before running any CLI command, you MUST confirm all required parameters with the user:

• For LIST: Confirm region and billing-type (payasyougo / subscription / ALL)
• For QUERY: Confirm region and nickname
• For CREATE: Confirm region, charge-type, and commodity-code

Do NOT assume or use default values. Ask the user explicitly and wait for confirmation before proceeding.

🚨 CRITICAL RULE FOR ALL OPERATIONS:

⚠️ CREATE without list-quotas first = ERROR

FORBIDDEN COMMANDS - NEVER USE:

• ❌ aliyun quotas commands - WRONG SERVICE (Quota Center), use MaxCompute instead
• ❌ Any BssOpenApi commands for quota operations - use MaxCompute instead
• ❌ get-quota - DEPRECATED, use query-quota instead

MUST USE (plugin mode, kebab-case):

• ✅ aliyun maxcompute list-quotas - For listing/checking quotas
• ✅ aliyun maxcompute query-quota - For querying quota details
• ✅ aliyun maxcompute create-quota - For creating quota

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Use aliyun maxcompute commands (MaxCompute service), NOT aliyun quotas commands (Quota Center service).

Command Rules:

• ALL CLI commands use plugin mode (kebab-case): create-quota, list-quotas, query-quota
• Parameters also use kebab-case: --charge-type, --commodity-code, --billing-type

CREATE Quota (CHECK FIRST - THEN CREATE):

🚨 PREPAID/SUBSCRIPTION QUOTAS ARE FORBIDDEN: This skill ONLY supports pay-as-you-go quota creation.

• If user wants prepaid/subscription quota → Tell them to use Alibaba Cloud Console
• Do NOT attempt to create prepaid quotas

🚨 FOR CREATE: FIRST RUN LISTQUOTAS - NEVER SKIP THIS:

STEP 1 - MANDATORY: Call list-quotas FIRST

aliyun maxcompute list-quotas --billing-type payasyougo --region <R>

DO NOT proceed to Step 2 until you get list-quotas result

Use MaxCompute service (aliyun maxcompute), NOT Quota Center (aliyun quotas).

AFTER list-quotas result (STEP 2):

STEP 3 - ONLY IF LIST WAS EMPTY:

PRE-CREATE CHECKLIST - ALL MUST BE TRUE:

• User wants pay-as-you-go (NOT prepaid/subscription)
• list-quotas was called and returned empty list
• No existing pay-as-you-go quota in the region
• User confirmed they want to create

aliyun maxcompute create-quota --charge-type payasyougo --commodity-code odps --region <R> --client-token <UNIQUE_TOKEN>

For International Site:

aliyun maxcompute create-quota --charge-type payasyougo --commodity-code odps_intl --region <R> --client-token <UNIQUE_TOKEN>

CRITICAL:

• Use plugin mode (kebab-case): create-quota
• Use MaxCompute service, NOT BssOpenApi
• client-token: Generate a unique token (e.g., UUID) for idempotency on retries
• commodityCode values:
  • China site: odps or odpsplus
  • International site: odps_intl or odpsplus_intl
  • NEVER use maxcompute as commodityCode
  • Note: When chargeType=payasyougo is set, commodityCode validation is not strict

⚠️ OUTPUT HANDLING:

• Do NOT pipe command output to files (e.g., | tee ... or > file.json) — if the target directory does not exist, the command will return a non-zero exit code even when the API call succeeds.
• Let the CLI print output directly to stdout, then parse the result inline.
• When saving output files (e.g., existing_quotas.json, actions_log.txt), ALWAYS mkdir -p <directory> first before writing any file to ensure the target directory exists.

FINALLY:

• Parse result
• Show user
• Done

⚠️ NEVER call create-quota before list-quotas. This causes errors.

Note: If quota already exists, DO NOT create. Only create when list-quotas returns empty list.

QUERY Quota (when user provides nickname):

PRIORITY: Use query-quota as the primary API for querying specific quota details by nickname.

CHECKLIST:

• User provided quota nickname
• Use query-quota (NOT get-quota)

USE THIS COMMAND:

aliyun maxcompute query-quota --nickname <N> --region <R>

IMPORTANT: If nickname contains Chinese characters, URL-encode it first before passing to the command.

FORBIDDEN: get-quota is deprecated - use query-quota instead.

• Parse JSON
• Extract: nickName, name, id, status
• Show all fields → Done

LIST Quotas:

⚠️ FOR LISTING QUOTAS: ONLY use MaxCompute list-quotas, NOT BssOpenApi

When checking for existing pay-as-you-go quotas (before creation):

aliyun maxcompute list-quotas --billing-type payasyougo --region <R>

MUST include --billing-type payasyougo to filter at API level.

When listing all quotas (user request):

aliyun maxcompute list-quotas --billing-type ALL --region <R>

billingType parameter:

• Valid values: payasyougo, subscription, ALL

• If not set, defaults to ALL

• Use payasyougo when checking for existing pay-as-you-go quotas

• Parse JSON

• Extract quotaInfoList array

• Show list → Done

Response field odpsSpecCode enum values:

Quick Reference

See references/related-apis.md for complete CLI command reference and response format details.

Key Points:

• Use list-quotas --billing-type payasyougo before creating
• Use query-quota (not get-quota) for querying
• Use create-quota (kebab-case plugin mode) for creating
• Always include --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-odps-quota-manage

Task Completion

Output Files — MUST create before finishing:

1. mkdir -p outputs ran_scripts — ensure directories exist first
2. Save quota query/list results to outputs/existing_quotas.json
3. Save a log of all actions performed to ran_scripts/actions_log.txt

IMPORTANT: Always run mkdir -p for any target directory BEFORE writing files. Never assume directories already exist.

Finish with:

• Summary of what was done
• Key results (nickname, region, status)
• Confirm output files were written (outputs/existing_quotas.json, ran_scripts/actions_log.txt)
• "✅ Complete"

Error Handling

Cleanup

No Delete API - Must use Console to delete quotas

API Reference

See references/related-apis.md for complete API reference, CLI commands, and response formats.

Best Practices

1. Always confirm region with user before any operation
2. For creation: First list to check if quota exists (one per region limit)
3. If quota exists: Query it for user instead of trying to create
4. Use query-quota (NOT get-quota) for quota details
5. For subscription quotas: Direct user to Alibaba Cloud Console
