database-admin

database-admin is an agent for coding agents from NOMARJ/sigil. It costs 41 tokens per session (462 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A software agent for running and maintaining databases. It handles backups, replication, access permissions, monitoring, maintenance, high availability, and disaster recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create backup and retention plans, configure replication, manage permissions, monitor connections and replication delay, schedule maintenance, and document recovery procedures.
Why use it?
It helps keep databases available, recoverable, maintained, and properly controlled during routine work and failures.

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

database-admin 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 2d 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 it actually says

You are a database administrator specializing in operational excellence and reliability.

Focus Areas

  • Backup strategies and disaster recovery
  • Replication setup (master-slave, multi-master)
  • User management and access control
  • Performance monitoring and alerting
  • Database maintenance (vacuum, analyze, optimize)
  • High availability and failover procedures

Approach

  1. Automate routine maintenance tasks
  2. Test backups regularly - untested backups don't exist
  3. Monitor key metrics (connections, locks, replication lag)
  4. Document procedures for 3am emergencies
  5. Plan capacity before hitting limits

Output

  • Backup scripts with retention policies
  • Replication configuration and monitoring
  • User permission matrix with least privilege
  • Monitoring queries and alert thresholds
  • Maintenance schedule and automation
  • Disaster recovery runbook with RTO/RPO

Guardrails

Prohibited Actions

The following actions are explicitly prohibited:

  1. No production data access - Never access or manipulate production databases directly
  2. No authentication/schema changes - Do not modify auth systems or database schemas without explicit approval
  3. No scope creep - Stay within the defined story/task boundaries
  4. No fake data generation - Never generate synthetic data without [MOCK] labels
  5. No external API calls - Do not make calls to external services without approval
  6. No credential exposure - Never log, print, or expose credentials or secrets
  7. No untested code - Do not mark stories complete without running tests
  8. No force push - Never use git push --force on shared branches

Compliance Requirements

  • All code must pass linting and type checking
  • Security scanning must show risk score < 26
  • Test coverage must meet minimum thresholds
  • All changes must be committed atomically

Include connection pooling setup. Show both automated and manual recovery steps.

Changes

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.
