cloudbase-platform（云基础平台）

Standalone Install Note

If this environment only installed the current skill, start from the CloudBase main entry and use the published cloudbase/references/... paths for sibling skills.

• CloudBase main entry: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/SKILL.md
• Current skill raw source: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloudbase-platform/SKILL.md

Keep local references/... paths for files that ship with the current skill directory. When this file points to a sibling skill such as auth-tool or web-development, use the standalone fallback URL shown next to that reference.

Activation Contract

Use this first when

• The user asks which CloudBase capability, service, or tool to use, or needs a high-level understanding of hosting, storage, authentication, cloud functions, or database options.
• The task is about console navigation, cross-platform differences, permission models, or platform-level best practices before implementation.

Read before writing code if

• It is still unclear whether the task belongs to Web, mini program, cloud functions, storage, MySQL / NoSQL, or auth.
• The response needs platform selection, conceptual explanation, or control-plane navigation more than direct implementation steps.

Then also read

• Web app implementation -> ../web-development/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/web-development/SKILL.md)
• Web auth and provider setup -> ../auth-tool/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/auth-tool/SKILL.md), ../auth-web/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/auth-web/SKILL.md)
• Mini program development -> ../miniprogram-development/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/miniprogram-development/SKILL.md)
• Cloud functions -> ../cloud-functions/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloud-functions/SKILL.md)
• Official HTTP API clients -> ../http-api/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/http-api/SKILL.md)
• Document database -> ../no-sql-web-sdk/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/no-sql-web-sdk/SKILL.md) or ../no-sql-wx-mp-sdk/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/no-sql-wx-mp-sdk/SKILL.md)
• Relational database / data modeling -> ../relational-database-tool/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/relational-database-tool/SKILL.md) or ../data-model-creation/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/data-model-creation/SKILL.md)
• Cloud storage -> ../cloud-storage-web/SKILL.md (standalone fallback: https://cnb.cool/tencent/cloud/cloudbase/cloudbase-skills/-/git/raw/main/skills/cloudbase/references/cloud-storage-web/SKILL.md)

Do NOT use for

• Direct implementation of web pages, auth flows, functions, or database operations when a more specific skill already fits.
• Low-level API parameter references or SDK recipes that belong in specialized skills.

Common mistakes / gotchas

• Treating this general skill as the default entry point for all CloudBase development.
• Staying here after the correct implementation skill is already clear.
• Mixing platform overview with platform-specific API shapes or SDK details.
• Using this overview skill as a detour in an existing application where the active auth, storage, and data files are already obvious.
• Confusing security domains with custom domains: These are two completely different tools for different purposes:

- envDomainManagement (action: create/delete) = Security domains (安全域名) for CORS/request source validation - used for browser upload whitelisting. Does NOT accept certificateId. - manageGateway(action="bindCustomDomain") = Custom domains (自定义域名) for public HTTPS access with SSL certificates - requires domain and certificateId parameters.

When to use this skill

Use this skill for CloudBase platform knowledge when you need to:

• Understand CloudBase storage and hosting concepts
• Compare platform capabilities before implementation
• Understand cross-platform auth differences (Web vs Mini Program)
• Understand database permissions and access control
• Access CloudBase console management pages

This skill provides foundational knowledge that applies to all CloudBase projects, regardless of whether they are Web, Mini Program, or backend services.

How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. Understand platform differences

- Web and Mini Program have completely different authentication approaches - Must strictly distinguish between platforms - Never mix authentication methods across platforms - If the workspace is already an application with TODOs or prebuilt handlers, do not stay in platform overview mode. Move quickly to the concrete implementation skill and the existing files that own the flow.

1. Follow best practices

- Use SDK built-in authentication features (Web) - Understand natural login-free feature (Mini Program) - Configure appropriate database permissions - Use cloud functions for cross-collection operations

1. Use correct SDKs and APIs

- Different platforms require different SDKs for data models - MySQL data models must use models SDK, not collection API - Use envQuery tool to get environment ID - In an existing Web application with fixed structure, inspect the existing src/lib/backend.*, src/lib/auth.*, src/lib/*service.*, and bound page handlers before broad concept reading.

1. Use the canonical CloudBase MCP setup from the main cloudbase guideline

- This platform overview intentionally does not duplicate the full MCP / mcporter config block - For the canonical config snippet, CLI commands, and auth examples, read the main cloudbase guideline first - Keep the same core rules here: use MCP first, inspect tool schemas before execution, and do not hard-code Secret ID / Secret Key / Env ID in config - Keep the auth split explicit: management-side login uses auth, while application-side auth configuration uses queryAppAuth / manageAppAuth

CloudBase Platform Knowledge

Domain Management Tools: Clear Distinction

When working with domain-related tasks, use the correct tool based on the requirement:

Key indicators for choosing the right tool:

• Task mentions "certificate ID" or "SSL" → Use manageGateway(action="bindCustomDomain")
• Task mentions "浏览器上传" or "CORS" or "安全域名" → Use envDomainManagement
• Task mentions "public access" or "HTTPS" with domain → Use manageGateway

Recording Operation Results

When a task explicitly requires recording operation steps or results to a file (e.g., RESULT.json):

1. Perform the tool calls first to get actual results
2. Collect all operation steps with their success/failure status
3. Write the complete record to the specified file in the required format
4. Include both successful operations and failed attempts with error messages

Example structure for operation recording:

{
  "steps": [
    {"action": "listDomains", "success": true, "message": "Found 3 domains"},
    {"action": "bindDomain", "success": false, "message": "Certificate not found"}
  ],
  "summary": {
    "totalAttempted": 2,
    "succeeded": 1,
    "failed": 1
  }
}

Storage and Hosting

1. Static Hosting vs Cloud Storage:

- CloudBase static hosting and cloud storage are two different buckets - Generally, publicly accessible files can be stored in static hosting, which provides a public web address - Static hosting supports custom domain configuration (requires console operation) - Cloud storage is suitable for files with privacy requirements, can get temporary access addresses via temporary file URLs - If the task needs COS SDK polling, file metadata lookup, or temporary URLs for an uploaded object, use cloud storage tools (manageStorage / queryStorage), not uploadFiles

1. Static Hosting Domain:

- CloudBase static hosting domain can be obtained via getWebsiteConfig tool - Combine with static hosting file paths to construct final access addresses - Important: If access address is a directory, it must end with /

Environment and Authentication

1. SDK Initialization:

- CloudBase SDK initialization requires environment ID - Can query environment ID via envQuery tool - If the user only provides an environment alias, nickname, or other short form, resolve it with envQuery(action="list", alias=..., aliasExact=true) first and use the returned full EnvId - Do not pass alias-like short forms directly into SDK init, auth.set_env, console URLs, or generated config files - For Web, always initialize synchronously: - import cloudbase from "@cloudbase/js-sdk"; const app = cloudbase.init({env: "your-full-env-id"}); - Do not use dynamic imports like import("@cloudbase/js-sdk") or async wrappers such as initCloudBase() with internal initPromise - Then proceed with login, for example using anonymous login

Authentication Best Practices

Important: Authentication methods for different platforms are completely different, must strictly distinguish!

Web Authentication

• Must use SDK built-in authentication: CloudBase Web SDK provides complete authentication features
• Recommended method: SMS login with auth.getVerification(), for detailed, refer to web auth related docs
• Forbidden behavior: Do not use cloud functions to implement login authentication logic
• User management: After login, get user information via auth.getCurrentUser()
• Provider and login-method setup: Use queryAppAuth / manageAppAuth, not the MCP auth tool

Mini Program Authentication

• Login-free feature: Mini program CloudBase is naturally login-free, no login flow needed
• User identifier: In cloud functions, get wxContext.OPENID via wx-server-sdk
• User management: Manage user data in cloud functions based on openid
• Forbidden behavior: Do not generate login pages or login flow code

Cloud Functions

1. Node.js Cloud Functions:

- Node.js cloud functions need to include package.json, declaring required dependencies - Can use manageFunctions(action="createFunction") to create functions - Use manageFunctions(action="updateFunctionCode") to deploy cloud functions - Prioritize cloud dependency installation, do not upload node_modules - functionRootPath refers to the parent directory of function directories, e.g., cloudfunctions directory

Database Permissions

⚠️ CRITICAL: Always configure permissions BEFORE writing database operation code!

1. Permission Model:

- CloudBase database access has permissions - Default basic permissions include: - READONLY: Everyone can read, only creator/admin can write - PRIVATE: Only creator/admin can read/write - ADMINWRITE: Everyone can read, only admin can write (⚠️ NOT for Web SDK write!) - ADMINONLY: Only admin can read/write - CUSTOM: Fine-grained control with custom rules

1. Platform Compatibility (CRITICAL):

- ⚠️ Web SDK cannot use ADMINWRITE or ADMINONLY for write operations - ✅ For user-generated content in Web apps, use CUSTOM rules - ✅ For admin-managed data (products, settings), use READONLY - ✅ Cloud functions have full access regardless of permission type

1. Configuration Workflow: Create collection → Configure security rules → Write code → Test

- Use managePermissions(action="updateResourcePermission") to configure resource permissions - If permissions were just changed, allow a short propagation window (typically 2-5 minutes) before retesting, but do not assume every failure is cache. Re-check the actual rule shape and active client write pattern first. - See no-sql-web-sdk/security-rules.md for detailed resourceType="noSqlDatabase" examples only; do not treat doc._openid, auth.openid, query-subset validation, or create / update / delete JSON templates as generic rules for functions, storage, or SQL tables - Official references: - General security rules overview: https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/876/41802 - NoSQL database security rules: https://docs.cloudbase.net/database/security-rules - Cloud function security rules: https://docs.cloudbase.net/cloud-function/security-rules - Storage security rules: https://docs.cloudbase.net/storage/security-rules

Compatibility note:

• Canonical plugin name: permissions
• Legacy plugin aliases security-rule, security-rules, secret-rule, secret-rules, and access-control still resolve to the permissions plugin
• Legacy tools readSecurityRule / writeSecurityRule are removed; prefer queryPermissions / managePermissions

1. Common Scenarios:

- E-commerce products: READONLY (admin manages via cloud functions) - Shopping carts: CUSTOM with auth.uid check (users manage their own) - Orders: CUSTOM with ownership validation - System logs: PRIVATE or ADMINONLY

1. Cross-Collection Operations:

- If user has no special requirements, operations involving cross-database collections must be implemented via cloud functions

Role Management (MCP)

CloudBase MCP provides role management capabilities through the queryPermissions and managePermissions tools. These are equivalent to the CLI tcb role commands.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Role policies and resource permissions are two independent systems with NO automatic synchronization.

• Resource permissions (security rules) control access to specific resources (tables, collections, functions, storage)
• Roles (identity dimension) control policy bundles and member assignments

Available Actions

Query Operations (via queryPermissions):

Management Operations (via managePermissions):

Usage Examples

List all roles:

queryPermissions(action="listRoles")

Get specific role details:

queryPermissions(action="getRole", roleId="role-xxx")
# or by identity
queryPermissions(action="getRole", roleIdentity="dev_role")
# or by name
queryPermissions(action="getRole", roleName="Developer")

Delete a custom role:

managePermissions(action="deleteRoles", roleIds=["role-xxx"])

Create a custom role:

managePermissions(action="createRole", roleName="Developer", roleIdentity="developer", policies=["FunctionsAccess"], memberUids=["user-uid-1"])

Update a role (add policies):

managePermissions(action="updateRole", roleId="role-xxx", addPolicies=["StoragesAccess"])

⚠️ Note: Only custom roles can be deleted. System roles are read-only.

See also: CLI equivalent commands in cloudbase-cli/references/permission.md

1. Cloud Function Optimization:

- If involving cloud functions, while ensuring security, can minimize the number of cloud functions as much as possible - For example: implement one cloud function for client-side requests, implement one cloud function for data initialization

Data Models

1. Get Data Model Operation Object:

- Mini Program: Need @cloudbase/wx-cloud-client-sdk, initialize const client = initHTTPOverCallFunction(wx.cloud), use client.models - Cloud Function: Need @cloudbase/node-sdk@3.10+, initialize const app = cloudbase.init({env}), use app.models - Web: Need @cloudbase/js-sdk, initialize const app = cloudbase.init({env}), after login use app.models

1. Data Model Query:

- Can call MCP manageDataModel tool to: - Query model list - Get model detailed information (including Schema fields) - Get specific models SDK usage documentation

1. MySQL Data Model Invocation Rules:

- MySQL data models cannot use collection method invocation, must use data model SDK - Wrong: db.collection('model_name').get() - Correct: app.models.model_name.list({filter: {where: {}}}) - Use manageDataModel tool's docs method to get specific SDK usage

Console Management

After creating/deploying resources, provide corresponding console management page links. All console URLs follow the pattern: https://tcb.cloud.tencent.com/dev?envId=${envId}#/{path}.

The CloudBase console is updated frequently. If a live, logged-in console shows a different hash path from this document, prefer the live console path over stale documentation and then update this skill to match.

URL Construction Guidelines

• Base URL Pattern: https://tcb.cloud.tencent.com/dev?envId=${envId}#/{path}
• Replace Variables: Always replace ${envId} with the actual environment ID queried via envQuery tool
• Alias Handling: If the conversation only contains an alias or shorthand, first resolve it with envQuery(action="list", alias=..., aliasExact=true) and use the returned EnvId; if the alias is ambiguous or missing, ask the user to confirm before generating links
• Resource-Specific URLs: For specific resources (collections, functions, models), replace resource name variables with actual values
• Usage: After creating/deploying resources, provide these console links to users for management operations

Quick Reference

When directing users to console pages:

• Use the full URL with environment ID
• Explain what they can do on each page
• Provide context about why they need to access that specific page
• For configuration pages (like login management), guide users through the setup process
