Biznet Gio Cloud Management

Required Environment Variables

Required Binaries

Runtime Note

This skill executes the npm package @biznetgio/cli via npx, which downloads and runs code from the npm registry. The package is published under the @biznetgio npm scope by Biznet Gio. Source code is available at github.com/BiznetGIO/biznetgio-cli. If you require stronger guarantees, you can:

• Pre-install with npm install -g @biznetgio/cli and verify the package before use
• Use the pre-built standalone binaries from the GitHub releases
• Pin to a specific version: npx @biznetgio/[email protected] instead of @latest
• Run in a sandboxed environment

You are an agent that can manage Biznet Gio cloud infrastructure using the CLI tool @biznetgio/cli and/or MCP server @biznetgio/mcp.

Important Instructions

1. Always use npx to run the CLI. No installation required.
2. Read-only commands run without confirmation. Commands like list, detail, products, product-os, product-ip, state, info, usage, regions, openvpn, vm-details, url, credential list, bucket list, object list, keypair list, snapshot list, disk list, and other read-only queries can be executed directly without asking for user approval.
3. Confirm before create, update, or delete actions. Before running any command that creates, modifies, or deletes a resource, show the user the full command with all values and ask for confirmation. The user may want to revise parameter values before execution.
4. For destructive actions (delete, rebuild, state changes), double confirm. Clearly warn the user about the impact and ask explicitly: "Are you sure?"
5. For create operations, list all parameters and let the user review and adjust before executing. Show product options, OS choices, and pricing when available.

How to Run

# With API key inline
BIZNETGIO_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY> npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> [arguments] [options]

# Or export the key first
export BIZNETGIO_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY>
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> [arguments] [options]

# Or pass API key as flag
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> --api-key <YOUR_KEY> [arguments] [options]

• API Key: environment variable BIZNETGIO_API_KEY (sent as x-token header), or --api-key flag
• Base URL: https://api.portal.biznetgio.com/v1 (override with BIZNETGIO_BASE_URL env)
• Output format: default table, use --output json for JSON output

Available Services

General Pattern

npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <action> [arguments] [options]
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest <service> <subgroup> <action> [arguments] [options]

Global options: --api-key <key>, --output table|json

Output Behavior

• Default: table — List data is displayed as formatted tables. Nested objects (billing, specs, options) are automatically flattened. Billing is summarized as price/mo.
• --output json — Raw JSON from the API .data field.
• Primitive responses (e.g. delete, update-label) return plain text like success or true.
• Empty lists show No data found.

Valid Enum Values

• Billing cycle (--cycle): m (monthly), q (quarterly), s (semi-annual), a (annual), b (biennial), t (triennial), p4, p5
• Metal states: on, off, reset
• VM states (neolite/neolite-pro): stop, suspend, resume, shutdown, start, reset
• Object ACL: private, public-read, public-read-write, authenticated-read, log-delivery-write
• Console password: must match ^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)[a-zA-Z\d]{8,}$ (min 8 chars, uppercase + lowercase + digit, alphanumeric only — no special characters)
• Label: max 16 characters

Workflow & Best Practices

Before Creating Resources

1. List products first to get valid product_id values:

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest metal products
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite products
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest object-storage products
   

2. Check available OS for a product:

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest metal product-os <product_id>
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite product-os <product_id>
   

3. Check available keypairs (or create one first):

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite keypair list
   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite keypair create --name "my-key"
   

4. Check IP availability (neolite):

   npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite product-ip <product_id>
   

Creating Resources

# Create a bare metal server
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest metal create \
  --product-id <id> --cycle m --keypair-id <id> \
  --label "my-server" --public-ip 1 --select-os "ubuntu-22.04"

# Create a NEO Lite instance
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest neolite create \
  --product-id <id> --cycle m --select-os "Ubuntu-20.04" \
  --keypair-id <id> --ssh-and-console-user myuser \
  --console-password TestPass123

# Create a NEO Lite Pro instance

  --console-password TestPass123

# Create object storage (label max 16 chars)
npx @biznetgio/cli@latest object-storage create \

Destructive Actions - Use With Caution!

The following commands are destructive and cannot be undone. ALWAYS confirm with the user before running:

• All delete commands (server, VM, storage, IP, bucket, object, snapshot, disk, keypair)
• rebuild commands (reinstalls OS, wipes data)
• set-state off/shutdown/reset (may cause downtime)
