Hetzner Storage Box
Use this skill for Storage Box inventory, lifecycle and snapshot management,
plus WebDAV file reads and guarded uploads/archives.
Default Workflow
- Use Hetzner API reads (
list-storage-boxes, get-storage-box) for inventory
and metadata.
- Use WebDAV reads (
list-files, download-file) for file inspection.
- Use
plan before any management, file write, or public-link request.
- Treat
hetzner_storage_box.cjs as the API/WebDAV wrapper. Do not handcraft
Hetzner Storage Box API URLs, WebDAV URLs, JSON bodies, tiers, or secret refs
from memory.
- For prompt/user testing, stop after
plan or after helper payload
generation. Do not call the built-in http_request tool.
- For real user requests that need live Storage Box API or WebDAV reads, pass
the helper-emitted
httpRequest object unchanged to http_request. The
bearerSecretName or secretHeaders field is the secret reference; do not
rewrite it, preflight it, inspect it, or ask the model for the secret.
- If a live
http_request call returns 401 or 403, stop after that first
failure. Do not retry, do not fan out to more endpoints or paths, and ask the
operator to set or verify the relevant secret.
- Require explicit operator grant before creating boxes, changing settings,
snapshots, uploads, archives, directory creation, public sharing, or deletes.
- Never paste, print, or inspect
HETZNER_API_TOKEN or Storage Box passwords.
The gateway injects API bearer tokens and WebDAV Basic auth server-side.
Secret Setup
API management calls use HETZNER_API_TOKEN:
hybridclaw secret set HETZNER_API_TOKEN "<hetzner-console-api-token>"
HETZNER_API_TOKEN is the Hetzner Console token for Cloud and Storage Box
management APIs. DNS uses its own HETZNER_DNS_API_TOKEN because Hetzner DNS is
served by a separate DNS API and Auth-API-Token header.
WebDAV file operations use a Basic-auth secret containing only the base64
encoded username:password payload:
printf '%s' 'u00000:storage-box-password' | base64
hybridclaw secret set HETZNER_STORAGE_BOX_BASIC_AUTH "<base64-username-password>"
See references/operator-setup.md for operator
setup, scope, and autonomy defaults.

--host u00000.your-storagebox.de --path /archives
node skills/hetzner-storage-box/hetzner_storage_box.cjs --format json webdav-request upload-text \

Working Rules
- Prefer read-only API tokens and read-only Storage Box subaccounts for file
inspection.
- Treat
delete-storage-box, delete-snapshot, and delete-path as red-risk
actions requiring exact target confirmation.
- Use WebDAV over HTTPS for file operations unless the operator explicitly asks
for SFTP/rsync outside this helper.
public-url only constructs the URL for a path that is already public.
share-public-link is the guarded operator handoff for publishing a path and
recording its intended expiration. Storage Box file access is credentialed by
default, so do not present a path as public until the operator confirms the
serving configuration.
- Cost per assistant run is recorded by HybridClaw
UsageTotals; helper output
includes costMeasurement.system = "UsageTotals" for eval verification.
Eval Suite
node skills/hetzner-storage-box/hetzner_storage_box.cjs --format json eval-scenarios
The fixture at evals/scenarios.json contains 10 scenarios covering inventory,
snapshots, WebDAV list/download/upload/archive, public links, and deletes.
