Use when the user wants to create, list, describe, or delete an on-demand (Vector Lake / VectorLake) cluster. On-demand clusters auto-suspend after an idle TTL and are intended for ad-hoc query workloads against a Vector Lake.

## From README

Prerequisites CLI installed and logged in (see skill). A Vector Lake instance in the target project/region (see cluster skill -- cluster create-vectorlake). Commands Reference Create an On-Demand Cluster create is hand-written and not generated from the JSON model. It calls POST /v2/clusters/createOnDemandCluster and accepts: Session TTL controls how long an idle on-demand cluster stays running before it is automatically suspended. Format is , with a floor of 60 seconds. Resuming a suspended on-demand cluster happens transparently on the next query. Examples: List On Demand Clusters Describe an On Demand Cluster Delete an On Demand Cluster Guidance On-demand clusters belong to a Vector Lake instance and only exist inside a + pair. If neither list nor describe returns anything, first confirm that the project has a Vector Lake (zilliz cluster create-vectorlake). list requires both --project-id and --region-id -- there is no all-projects listing.
