CMS_GetCpuloadavg15mData
Return the fifteen-minute CPU load average
LABSCO SUMMARY
Fleet work stops being one console tab per instance.
The OOS tools take a list of instance IDs, so starting a group of machines, rotating their passwords or swapping their system disks is a single call. Metrics, inventory and deployment sit behind the same access key, which puts the question — is this instance loaded — and the action — restart it — in the same session.
What it is
Alibaba Cloud operations in 40 tools: OOS batch actions over ECS and RDS, CloudMonitor metric reads, OSS bucket management, ECS/VPC/RDS inventory queries, and three tools that act on the local machine to prepare a deployment.
What you get
- Batch lifecycle control over ECS instances — create, start, stop, reboot, reset passwords, replace the system disk — taking an instance ID list and a region
- The same batch start, stop and reboot operations against RDS instances
- Cloud Assistant commands run across many ECS instances at once, for jobs like application management and resource tagging
- CloudMonitor metrics per instance: CPU utilization, one-, five- and fifteen-minute load averages, memory used and utilization, and disk total, used and utilization
- Application deployment through OOS CodeDeploy, with the previous deployment's details and the current status of an application group
- Inventory across ECS, VPC and RDS — instances, regions, zones, images, security groups, account quotas, zone stock, VPCs, vSwitches and database instances
- OSS buckets listed, created and deleted, and the objects inside a bucket listed
- Local-side preparation: a directory listed, a project's stack identified as npm, Python, Java, Go or Docker, and a shell script run
Requirements
An Alibaba Cloud access key — ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET — and uv on your PATH, which resolves the Python runtime through UV_PYTHON. LOCAL_RunShellScript runs on the machine hosting the server, not on an ECS instance.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — uvx alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server@latest, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Restarting a group of instances after a configuration change
Find the instances in the region, reboot them as one batch rather than one at a time, and watch CPU utilization come back to check the change took.
02
Finding out why a service went slow last night
Read the load averages at one, five and fifteen minutes alongside memory and disk utilization for the same instances, so a spike can be separated from a machine that has been saturated all week.
03
Getting a build onto your ECS instances
Identify what kind of project it is, deploy the built artifact to the target instances through OOS CodeDeploy, then read the application group's deployment status rather than guessing from the logs.
04
Checking there is stock before you size a new instance
Confirm the instance type and system disk you want are actually available in the target zone, and that the account quota allows another one, before the create call fails halfway.
05
Rotating passwords across a fleet
Select the instances, change the password on all of them in one operation, and plan for the reboot the operation carries with it.
06
Taking inventory of a region before a migration
List the compute, the networks it sits on, the databases behind it and the buckets it reads, so the move is planned against what is there rather than what the diagram says.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
40 tools when we connected. Registered names carry a product prefix (OOS_RunCommand, not RunCommand), and StartDBInstances, StopDBInstances and RestartDBInstances are OOS_StartRDSInstances, OOS_StopRDSInstances and OOS_RebootRDSInstances. ECS_DescribeAccountAttributes is missing from the documentation table.
Requires
- uvx on PATH
- ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID in your environment
- ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET in your environment
