Gather and display a status overview of the user's current Zilliz Cloud environment. Run commands with --output json for structured data, then present a formatted summary.
Verify CLI is installed and user is logged in:
zilliz auth status
If not set up, use the quickstart skill first.
zilliz context current --output json
If no context is set, suggest running zilliz context set --cluster-id <id>.
Using the cluster ID from context:
zilliz cluster describe --cluster-id <cluster-id> --output json
Present: cluster name, status, plan, region.
zilliz database list --output json
For each database returned in Step 4, gather collection information:
zilliz collection list --database <db-name> --output json
For each collection, gather stats and index info:
zilliz collection get-stats --name <name> --database <db-name> --output json
zilliz collection get-load-state --name <name> --database <db-name> --output json
zilliz index list --collection <name> --database <db-name> --output json
Format the results as a readable summary:
Cluster: () Status: RUNNING | Region: | Plan:
For each database, show its collections:
Database:
| Collection | Rows | Load State | Indexes |
|---|---|---|---|
| my_collection | 10,000 | Loaded | vector_idx (AUTOINDEX) |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
If the cluster is suspended, show a warning that data operations are unavailable.
