queryshield: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

queryshield CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from bch1212/queryshield. It costs 898 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for QueryShield, a service that lets AI agents query customer databases through a controlled SQL gateway. It covers the system design, safety rules, pricing limits, and development structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing QueryShield's query handling, database security, credentials, logs, caching, API, or MCP server.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project context needed to work consistently on database access, security, auditing, caching, and billing.

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

queryshield CLAUDE.md 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 7d 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.

QueryShield — Claude Code Context

What this is

Lead product of one agent security suite. Agents POST to /v1/query in NL or structured SQL. QueryShield validates → translates → applies row-level security → executes → audits. The same qs_ API key and the same Stripe customer also cover the named credential vault (credentials.py), ported from AgentVault. InjectShield (https://github.com/bch1212/injectshield, https://injectshield.dev) is the free prompt-injection funnel and is not vendored here. Agents never see database connection strings.

Architecture

  • proxy.py — engine. Every query flows through execute_query().
  • safety.py — sqlglot AST validator. Never use keyword filtering.
  • rls.py — AST-level WHERE injection + schema/table whitelists. Never string concat.
  • vault.py — Fernet-encrypted database connection strings, in our internal Postgres. Replaces AWS Secrets Manager from the original spec (Brett's stack uses Railway, no AWS). Never returned by any API.
  • credential_crypto.py / credentials.py / credential_api.py — named secret vault (AgentVault folded in). Same VAULT_KEY, same tenant, same qs_ key. Empty permission patterns fail closed. Audit metadata only.
  • nl_to_sql.py — Claude tool_use loop with get_schema + validate_query tools. Prompt caching on system + schema.
  • schema.py — DB introspection with two-tier cache (in-process + Redis).
  • cache.py — result cache. Redis if REDIS_URL, else in-process dict.
  • audit.py — append-only metadata log. Never log row contents.
  • billing.py — Stripe-backed quotas. 30-day rolling reset.
  • mcp_server.py — FastMCP wrapper, distribution channel for agent frameworks.
  • main.py — FastAPI app and HTTP surface.
  • start.py — Railway entrypoint. Reads PORT via os.getenv (Railway exec's startCommand without a shell, so $PORT doesn't expand).

Critical rules

  • NEVER allow non-SELECT — safety.py blocks at the AST level.
  • NEVER log query result rows — audit table holds metadata only.
  • NEVER return raw connection strings in any API response.
  • VAULT_KEY rotation = re-encrypt every row under the new key. Losing the key means losing access to every registered DB.
  • Customer DB credentials should be read-only at the source. Defense in depth — even if safety + RLS were bypassed, the DB would refuse writes.

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.
