Tablestore Read-Only Operations

This skill provides CLI-based read-only operations for querying Alibaba Cloud Tablestore (OTS) instances and data tables. Tablestore is a fully managed NoSQL database service that supports storing and accessing large amounts of structured data.

Architecture: Aliyun CLI (otsutil) → Tablestore Instance → Data Tables (Wide Table / TimeSeries)

Scope: This skill only covers read/query operations. No create, update, or delete operations are included.

Prerequisites

• Tablestore service must be activated. See Alibaba Cloud Console
• Obtain AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret from RAM Console

Pre-check: Aliyun CLI Required (Version 3.3.0+)

Tablestore operations are performed via aliyun otsutil command, which is part of the Aliyun CLI. IMPORTANT: The otsutil subcommand is only available in Aliyun CLI version 3.3.0 or later. The Homebrew version may be outdated - download directly from the official CDN. See references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation instructions.
