Deploy, configure, review, troubleshoot, and automate Tailscale tailnets and the tailscale/tailscaled CLI, including grants and ACLs, Tailscale SSH, device posture, Tailnet Lock, Tailscale PAM, Serve, Funnel, Tailscale Services, tsidp, subnet routers, exit nodes, app connectors, peer relays, MagicDNS, the Kubernetes Operator, containers and tsnet, auth keys, OAuth clients, workload identity federation, the API, Terraform and GitOps, Aperture, and connectivity and production diagnostics.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Tailscale

Inspect the project's policy file, deployment manifests, CI workflows, and
relevant runtime code before choosing changes, then check what the local client
and the tailnet actually run. A feature's availability depends on the client
version, the plan, and its release stage.

Ground commands, flags, limits, and availability in local help and current
official docs. Do not install tools, join a tailnet, or create keys, nodes, or
policy merely to inspect them.

```bash
command -v tailscale && tailscale version   # client version
tailscale version --daemon                  # tailscaled version, when it differs
tailscale --help; tailscale <subcommand> --help
tailscale status --json                     # peers, versions, routes, health
```

Help output is per installed version; a flag in the docs may not exist locally.
A surviving CLI flag is not proof that a feature is available on the plan.

## Read the relevant reference

- [Policy and security](references/policy-security.md): grants vs ACLs, tags,
  policy tests, Tailscale SSH and session recording, device posture, app
  capabilities, Tailnet Lock, key expiry, device and user approval, identity

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add usetemi/skills/tailscale@sha256:b1ab19ad87ccec39

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.f037a0e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
