backend-database-agent

backend-database-agent is an agent for Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 0 tokens per session (234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database-focused coding agent for designing tables, writing database queries, and planning schema changes. A database is software that stores and organizes application data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create or modify tables, write and speed up queries, recommend indexes, plan data migrations, and document backup or recovery strategies.
Why use it?
It gives database work a consistent process for naming fields, using safe queries, handling deleted records, and applying changes through migrations, which are tracked database updates.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

backend-database-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
