alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report（阿里巴巴云治理评估报告）

Alibaba Cloud Governance Center Evaluation Report

Guide users to discover governance risks, focus on critical issues, and take remediation actions through a progressive drill-down workflow.

Scenario Description

This skill is a problem-discovery and resolution guide — not a comprehensive audit report generator. It operates as a progressive disclosure funnel:

1. Overview (quick diagnosis) — Score + pillar distribution + top critical risks → guide user to choose a direction
2. Pillar analysis (focused drill-down) — All risks in a specific domain, controlled by severity → guide user to specific items
3. Detail (deep dive) — Single check item with full remediation steps → guide user to related items or resources
4. Resources (action) — Non-compliant resource listing for targeted remediation

Each layer focuses on the most important information and guides the user to the next level. Avoid information overload — keep output concise and actionable.

Architecture: Governance Center API → CLI (aliyun governance) → governance_query.py (merge + cache) → JSON output → Agent report

How It Works

Data Sources — Three APIs provide all data:

1. list-evaluation-metadata — Check item definitions (name, description, pillar, level, remediation)
2. list-evaluation-results — Actual results (status, risk, compliance rate, score)
3. list-evaluation-metric-details — Non-compliant resource details for a specific check item

Processing — The script (governance_query.py) merges data sources and caches results for 1 hour. It provides 4 query modes: overview, pillar, detail, resources.

Output — Structured JSON for Agent to generate user-friendly reports. Reports are output directly in the conversation as formatted text, NOT written to files.

Prerequisites

Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.0 required Run aliyun version to verify. If not installed or version too low, see references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation instructions. Then [MUST] run aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true to enable automatic plugin installation.

aliyun version                                    # >= 3.3.0
aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true   # Enable auto plugin install
python3 --version                                 # Python 3.x

Authentication

Configure CLI authentication (OAuth recommended):

# OAuth mode (recommended)
aliyun configure --mode OAuth

## RAM Policy

Requires Governance Center read permissions. See [references/ram-policies.md](references/ram-policies.md) for full policy.

Minimum required permissions:
- `governance:ListEvaluationMetadata`
- `governance:ListEvaluationResults`

Or attach system policy: **AliyunGovernanceReadOnlyAccess**

## Core Workflow

> **IMPORTANT: Parameter Confirmation** — Before executing any command or API call, ALL user-customizable parameters (e.g., `--profile`, `--category`, `--id`, `--keyword`, `--max-results`, etc.) MUST be confirmed with the user. Do NOT assume or use default values without explicit user approval.

> **IMPORTANT: Output Format** — Reports are format specifications for conversation output only. Always output report content directly in the chat message as formatted Markdown. Do NOT create or write report files (e.g., `.md`, `.txt`, `.html`). No file generation is needed.

Script location: [scripts/governance_query.py](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/scripts/governance_query.py)

## Mode Selection Guide

| User says... | Use mode | Command | Report format |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| "查查我的账号安全吗" / "成熟度得分" / "分析下治理检测结果" | `overview` | `overview` | [overview](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-overview.md) |
| "有哪些高风险项" / "看下所有高风险" | `overview` | `overview -r Error` | [overview](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-overview.md) |
| "中风险以上的问题" | `overview` | `overview -r Error,Warning` | [overview](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-overview.md) |
| "安全方面有哪些问题" / "XX支柱的风险" | `pillar` | `pillar -c Security --risky` | [pillar](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-pillar.md) |
| "网络安全相关的检测项" / "数据库风险" | `pillar` + keyword filter | `pillar -c Security --risky` then filter by keyword | [pillar](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-pillar.md) |
| "高优先级的问题" | `pillar` | `pillar -c Security -l Critical,High --risky` | [pillar](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-pillar.md) |
| "MFA怎么修" / "XX检测项详情" | `detail` | `detail --keyword "MFA"` | [detail](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-detail.md) |
| "哪些用户没开MFA" / "不合规资源有哪些" | `detail` + `resources` | `detail --id xxx` then `resources --id xxx` | [detail](https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-aiops-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/migrationom/governance/alibabacloud-governance-evaluation-report/references/report-format-detail.md) |

**Default**: If user doesn't specify pillar or check item, use `overview`.

**Report format selection**: After determining the query mode, read the corresponding report format reference file before generating output. Only read the format file that matches the user's intent — do not read all format files at once.

## Field Reference

| Field | Values | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Risk` | `Error`(高风险) > `Warning`(中风险) > `Suggestion`(低风险) > `None`(合规) | Actual detected risk |
| `RecommendationLevel` | `Critical` > `High` > `Medium` > `Suggestion` | Recommended priority |
| `Status` | `Finished` / `NotApplicable` / `Failed` | Check execution status |
| `Compliance` | 0.0 - 1.0 | 1.0 = fully compliant |

## Cache & Cleanup

Only metadata (check item definitions) is cached locally — results are always fetched in real-time.

- Cache location: `~/.governance_cache/metadata.json`
- TTL: 24 hours (metadata rarely changes)
- `list-evaluation-results` and `list-evaluation-metric-details` are **never cached**

Force refresh metadata cache

python3 scripts/governance_query.py --refresh overview

Clear cache manually

rm -rf ~/.governance_cache/

## Best Practices

1. **Focus, don't dump** — Each report layer should highlight what matters most, not list everything. Read the corresponding report format reference for quantity control rules
2. **Follow the funnel** — Start with `overview`, guide user to `pillar`, then to `detail`. Don't skip layers unless user explicitly asks for a specific item
3. **Use `--risky` filter for pillar mode** — Reduces noise by hiding compliant items when investigating issues
4. **Prioritize by Risk + Level** — Focus on `Error` risk with `Critical`/`High` recommendation level first
5. **Follow remediation guidance** — Use `detail` mode to get actionable fix steps before modifying resources
6. **Always guide next steps** — Every report must end with follow-up guidance based on actual data, helping users continue exploring
7. **Cache management** — Only metadata is cached (24h TTL); results are always real-time. Use `--refresh` to force metadata refresh
