databases

databases is a command for Codex from benbjohnson/litestream-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (600 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for listing the SQLite databases defined in a Litestream configuration file, along with where each copy is replicated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect database paths and replica types such as S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, SFTP, or local files.
Why use it?
It provides a quick check that the expected databases and backup storage destinations are configured.

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

databases 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 3d 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.

databases Command

List all databases in the configuration file.

Synopsis

litestream databases [-config PATH]

Description

The databases command lists all databases defined in your Litestream configuration file along with their replica type.

Flags

Flag Description
-config PATH Configuration file path (default: /etc/litestream.yml)
-no-expand-env Disable environment variable expansion

Output Columns

Column Description
path Path to the SQLite database file
replica Storage backend type (s3, gs, abs, sftp, nats, file, etc.)

Examples

Basic Usage

$ litestream databases

path                    replica
/data/app.db            s3
/data/users.db          s3
/data/logs.db           file

With Custom Config

$ litestream databases -config /etc/litestream-prod.yml

path                    replica
/data/production.db     s3

Use Cases

Verify Configuration

Ensure all expected databases are configured:

$ litestream databases
# Check output includes all your databases

Script Integration

Use in scripts to iterate over databases:

#!/bin/bash
# Check status of all databases
for db in $(litestream databases | tail -n +2 | cut -f1); do
    echo "Checking: $db"
    litestream status "$db"
done

Debugging

Verify configuration is loading correctly:

# With environment expansion
litestream databases

# Without environment expansion
litestream databases -no-expand-env

Configuration Examples

The output reflects your configuration:

dbs:
  - path: /data/app.db
    replica:
      url: s3://bucket/app

  - path: /data/users.db
    replica:
      type: gs
      bucket: my-bucket
      path: users

  - path: /data/logs.db
    replica:
      path: /mnt/backup/logs

Output:

path              replica
/data/app.db      s3
/data/users.db    gs
/data/logs.db     file

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.

databases is a command published in the GitHub repository benbjohnson/litestream-skills (5 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 600 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
