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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00902 | $0.00902 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00361 | $0.00361 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00180 | $0.00180 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
copilot-instructions database-configuration-operations.instructions.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 1mo 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.

Database Configuration and Operations Baseline
- Use this instruction when configuring runtime database access, connection settings, failover, or operational database policies.
- Prioritize secure-by-default settings, deterministic performance, and recoverability under real production load.
Environment and Configuration Source of Truth
- Keep database settings environment-specific and externalized (local, staging, production).
- Maintain a single typed configuration contract for each service; avoid ad-hoc config reads.
- Keep configuration keys stable across environments; only values change.
- Do not hardcode connection strings, passwords, certificates, or provider credentials.
Connection String and Secret Management
- Store credentials in managed secret stores; inject at runtime with least privilege.
- Enforce TLS/SSL in all non-local environments.
- Disable trust-on-first-use defaults; require explicit certificate validation where supported.
- Include application/service name in connection metadata for traceability.
- Separate read/write/admin credentials and rotate each on independent schedules.
Provider Baselines
- SQL Server baseline:
Encrypt=TrueTrustServerCertificate=FalseMultiSubnetFailover=Truewhen applicable- Explicit
Connect Timeoutand command timeout defaults
- PostgreSQL baseline:
SSL Mode=Require(or stronger policy)Trust Server Certificate=falseoutside controlled local development- Explicit
Timeout,Command Timeout, andKeepalive
- MySQL baseline:
SslMode=Required- Explicit
ConnectionTimeoutandDefaultCommandTimeout - Explicit character set/collation strategy where relevant
Pooling and Timeout Policy
- Enable pooling with explicit min/max bounds; never rely on unknown runtime defaults in production.
- Define
MinPoolSizeandMaxPoolSizeper service profile and expected concurrency. - Set command timeout by endpoint/query class, not a single global extreme value.
- Bound concurrent database calls at application layer to avoid pool starvation.
- Fail fast on acquisition timeouts and surface clear diagnostics.
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.

copilot-instructions database-configuration-operations.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ThiagoGuislotti/copilot-instructions (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 902 tokens to every session, about $0.0036 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
