name	cloudru-ai-agents
description	Manage Cloud.ru AI Agents platform — CRUD, lifecycle, triggers, workflows, MCP, marketplace, A2A chat, EvoClaw gateways
compatibility	Requires httpx and CP_CONSOLE_KEY_ID, CP_CONSOLE_SECRET, PROJECT_ID environment variables

What this skill does

Full CLI for Cloud.ru Evolution AI Agents BFF (console.cloud.ru/u-api/ai-agents/v1). Parity with the web UI across all 12 command groups:

Group	Purpose
agents	AI-агенты — CRUD, suspend/resume, wait, history
systems	Агентные системы (multi-agent orchestrator)
mcp-servers	MCP-серверы
prompts	Промпты (system prompt library)
snippets	Фрагменты (promptlets, block-style)
skills	Навыки (Anthropic-style markdown skills from git or plaintext)
workflows	AI Workflows (low-code graphs; CLI creates the container, graph is edited in IDE)
triggers	Schedule / Telegram / Email triggers bound to agents
evo-claws	Managed OpenClaw gateway with sub-agent workers
marketplace	Browse/get cards for agents/mcp/prompts/snippets/skills
instance-types	CPU/GPU instance catalog
chat	A2A (Agent-to-Agent) JSON-RPC chat with a running agent

When to use

• Build/operate agents on Cloud.ru Evolution AI Agents
• Install from marketplace, attach MCPs, configure system prompts/models/scaling
• Schedule cron jobs on agents, wire up Telegram/Email bots
• Deploy multi-agent systems with nested agents
• Chat with a deployed agent (A2A) or capture its card
• Manage EvoClaw sub-agents

Prerequisites

pip install httpx
export CP_CONSOLE_KEY_ID=...
export CP_CONSOLE_SECRET=...
export PROJECT_ID=...                # or use --project-id on every call

Credentials come from Cloud.ru service account with the ai-agents.admin umbrella role (covers agents/systems/mcp-servers/prompts/workflows). If missing, refer the user to the cloudru-account-setup skill — it attaches the role automatically.

Command shape

All commands share the same top-level form:

python scripts/ai_agents.py [--project-id UUID] <group> <subcommand> [flags]

--project-id overrides PROJECT_ID env for a single invocation.

Every group supports list/get; most support create/update/delete; deployables (agents/systems/mcp-servers/evo-claws) additionally support suspend/resume/wait.

Two universal flags on every create/update:

• --config-json '{...}' — inline full body (escape hatch for fields not covered by high-level flags)
• --config-file path.json — same, from file

Common flows

Create agent from marketplace with MCP cascade install

python scripts/ai_agents.py agents create \
    --from-marketplace <agent_card_id> \
    --cascade-mcp \
    --name my-excel-agent \
    --instance-type-id <id>
python scripts/ai_agents.py agents wait <agent_id>

--cascade-mcp auto-installs any MCPs referenced in card.suitableCatalogMcpServersIds, reusing existing project MCPs by card id. Installed MCPs get a deterministic name cascade-mcp-<first-8-chars-of-card-uuid> so repeat runs are idempotent.

Custom agent with system prompt, model, scaling, MCPs

python scripts/ai_agents.py agents create \
    --name research-agent --instance-type-id <id> \
    --system-prompt "You are a research assistant." \
    --model-name zai-org/GLM-4.7 --temperature 0.3 --max-tokens 4096 \
    --thinking medium --thinking-budget 2000 \
    --min-scale 0 --max-scale 3 --keep-alive-min 10 --rps 5 \
    --max-llm-calls 50 --memory-enabled true --session-enabled true \
    --mcp-servers <mcp1_id>,<mcp2_id> \
    --neighbors <other_agent_id> \
    --log-group-id <id> --auth-enabled true --service-account-id <sa_id>

Lifecycle

python scripts/ai_agents.py agents suspend <id>       # pause (state preserved)
python scripts/ai_agents.py agents resume <id>
python scripts/ai_agents.py agents delete <id> --yes  # permanent (soft-delete, then GC)
python scripts/ai_agents.py agents history <id>       # audit log of edits

Attach a cron trigger

python scripts/ai_agents.py triggers create <agent_id> \
    --name weekly-digest --trigger-type schedule \
    --cron '0 10 * * 2' --timezone Europe/Moscow \
    --message-template 'Weekly digest: {{textMessage}}'

Telegram trigger

python scripts/ai_agents.py triggers create <agent_id> \
    --name tg-support --trigger-type telegram \
    --bot-name my_support_bot \
    --bot-token-secret-id <secret_manager_uuid> \
    --tg-events messageReceived,messageEdited

Valid events: messageReceived,messageDeleted,messageEdited,newChatCreated,userJoined,userLeft,callbackQuery,channelPost,editedChannelPost.

Email (IMAP) trigger

python scripts/ai_agents.py triggers create <agent_id> \
    --name mail-intake --trigger-type email \
    --email-server imap.mail.ru --email-port 993 --email-security SSL/TLS \
    --email-user [e-mail] --email-password-secret-id <uuid> \
    --email-events emailReceived,emailReplied

python scripts/ai_agents.py systems create \
    --name research-team --instance-type-id <id> \
    --system-prompt "Coordinate these agents to answer the user." \
    --model-name zai-org/GLM-4.7 \
    --agent-ids <a1>,<a2>,<a3> \
    --min-scale 0 --max-scale 2 \
    --context-storage true --observability true

python scripts/ai_agents.py mcp-servers create \
    --from-marketplace <card_id> --name my-mcp --instance-type-id <id> \
    --env 'KEY1=val1,KEY2=val2' --secret-env 'TOKEN=<secret_uuid>' \

# same list-*/get-* for mcp, prompts, snippets, skills

Important behaviors and gotchas

• Empty strings on required string fields break protobuf (e.g. skillSource.gitSource.accessToken: "" → 400 unexpected token). Omit the key instead. Fields that the server treats as optional flags (e.g. logging.logGroupId: "" with isEnabledLogging=false) are accepted — the CLI defaults follow this pattern.
• BFF does NOT inject defaults on create. POST /agents, POST /agentSystems, POST /mcpServers all nil-deref with HTTP 500 on a minimal body. The CLI seeds the full UI-shaped body (scaling / runtimeOptions / memoryOptions / integrationOptions) automatically via apply_bff_*_defaults. If you build a body yourself via --config-json, include the same structure.
• metadata is map<string,string>: list/dict values must be JSON-serialized strings. Skills CLI auto-serializes these.
• Scaling requires _meta.scalingRulesType="rps" and a matching rule — CLI's --min-scale/--max-scale/--rps seed this automatically.
• Deploy vs orchestrator scaling nesting differs: agents → options.scaling, MCP → top-level scaling, systems → orchestratorOptions.scaling. CLI hides this.
• delete on missing resource returns 0 (idempotent — prints already deleted to stderr).
• wait polls every 10–15s until terminal state; exit 1 on failure or timeout with Error: prefix.
• Service-account service-role UUID in history/audit — the bearer belongs to an SA, so createdBy renders as неизвестный пользователь in UI. Expected.
• EvoClaw GET /evo-claws/{id}/options/agents is broken server-side (BFF bug: unknown field OpenClawGatewayToken). Use list-workers which reads the full claw object.

Limitations

• Metrics/Logs/Tracing tabs — separate services (monaas-metrics-api, Cloud Logging, Phoenix). Not in this skill.
• IAM/Права доступа tab — IAM service, not ai-agents.
• Mattermost/MAX/Jivo triggers — UI shows "Скоро", not released.
• Runtime workflow execution — graph lives in IDE; CLI only creates the empty container.
• Do not log or expose API keys/secrets.

• references/api-reference.md — endpoint-level details, BFF vs raw API, body schemas
• references/examples.md — Python snippets using the client directly
