## What it does

The skill unlocks the `system` domain in `ae-cli`, meant for users whose Agent role is `root` or `agent_admin`. With it you add and disable members, switch roles, create sandboxes in batches, bind users to them, upload shared tools and push those tools to running sandboxes. A separate group of commands covers token usage stats, quotas and limits.

Start with `ae-cli auth login --host <host>`. A valid CLI-token session is required; sandbox identity headers do not count as authorization. Real IDs for users, sandboxes, models and quota rules come from list commands first — guessing them is off the table. Before every write the skill calls for `--dry-run`, showing the target and the effect, then explicit confirmation. The `--yes` flag skips the CLI prompt, but it is not a security boundary.

Authorization lives on the server: `/api/admin/**` and `/api/cli/channel/v1/**` are the final boundary. On a 403, retrying login or hunting for another endpoint gets you nowhere, and the skill forbids it. One exception is `+npm-install`: it installs an exact npm version and packages Linux files, so it runs inside a te-agent sandbox, though the `root` or `agent_admin` role is still required. Member deletion via `DELETE /api/admin/members?openId=...` and `/api/internal/sandboxes/**` is deliberately left out — other systems own those contracts.
