# Client Traffic skill

> Teach agents to configure TLS termination, HTTP/3, connection limits, and client IP detection on Datum Cloud gateways.

The Client Traffic skill helps agents manage how Datum Cloud edge gateways accept and handle incoming client connections. It covers [AI Edge](/ai-edge/overview) gateway-level settings — TLS termination, mutual TLS (mTLS), HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC), connection timeouts and limits, and real client IP detection — all configured by attaching a `ClientTrafficPolicy` to a Gateway listener.

## Install

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Claude Code theme={null}
  /plugin marketplace add datum-cloud/skills
  /plugin install datum-cloud@datum-cloud
  ```

  ```bash npx skills theme={null}
  npx skills add https://github.com/datum-cloud/skills
  ```

  ```bash Cursor theme={null}
  # Settings → Rules → Add Rule → Remote Rule (GitHub)
  # Repository: datum-cloud/skills
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  Once installed, the skill activates automatically when you ask an agent to configure client traffic settings on Datum. No further configuration needed.
</Note>

## Capabilities

* Configure TLS termination: minimum/maximum TLS version, cipher suites, ALPN protocols
* Require and validate client certificates (mutual TLS / mTLS)
* Enable HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC) on gateway listeners
* Set client-facing connection timeouts and idle timeouts
* Enforce maximum concurrent connections and per-connection request limits
* Detect real client IP from X-Forwarded-For headers or proxy protocol
* Scope policies to a specific listener via `sectionName`
* List, inspect, and update policies across a project
* Preview changes before applying with `datumctl diff`
* Delete policies safely
* Check permissions before acting

## How it relates to other Datum surfaces

* **Product docs:** [AI Edge](/ai-edge/overview) — the human-facing reference for gateways and edge policies
* **Datum MCP:** [Datum MCP](/datum-mcp) — for agents that need live read/write access to gateway resources during a session
* **`datumctl`:** [datumctl overview](/datumctl/overview) — `get`, `describe`, `apply`, `diff`, `delete` commands the skill teaches agents to use
