Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00018 | $0.00919 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00368 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00184 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
netlify-database-cli-commands 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.

Netlify CLI commands for Netlify Database
The CLI ships a complete database surface under netlify database (alias: netlify db). Requires CLI 26.0.0+. Most commands accept --json for machine-readable output — useful when scripting or reading results from an agent.
netlify database init
Interactive bootstrap: installs @netlify/database (and Drizzle if chosen), writes drizzle.config.ts, scaffolds and applies a starter migration, and runs a sample query. Use --yes for non-interactive mode.
netlify database status
Reports whether the database is enabled, whether @netlify/database is installed, the connection string for the active branch, and the applied/pending/missing/out-of-order migrations. Defaults to the local development database — pass --branch <name> to target a remote preview or production branch.
netlify database status # local
netlify database status --branch my-feature # remote branch
netlify database status --json
netlify database status --show-credentials # include username/password in connection string
netlify database connect
Connects to the database. Defaults to an interactive REPL — for agent and script use, always pass --query for one-shot execution:
# List tables
netlify database connect --query "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'public'"
# Inspect columns
netlify database connect --query "SELECT column_name, data_type, is_nullable FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'items'"
# JSON output
netlify database connect --query "SELECT * FROM items LIMIT 10" --json
# Get connection details only (no query)
netlify database connect --json
Never run DDL (CREATE, ALTER, DROP, TRUNCATE) through netlify database connect, psql, or any other direct connection. Schema changes go through migration files — out-of-band DDL drifts the migration history from the actual schema.
netlify database migrations new
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.

netlify-database-cli-commands is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository netlify/context-and-tools (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 919 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
