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

digitalocean-managed-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 9d 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.

Overview

DigitalOcean Managed Databases provide fully managed clusters so teams can avoid manual setup and maintenance.

Supported engines:

  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • Redis
  • MongoDB
  • Kafka
  • OpenSearch
  • Valkey

Provisioning Workflow

  • Select engine, region, and cluster size.
  • Create users and databases with required roles.
  • Configure trusted sources and VPC networking.
  • Retrieve connection strings and TLS settings.

Operations and Scaling

  • Scale nodes or storage as demand grows.
  • Set maintenance windows to control upgrades.
  • Review backups and restore points.

Security Practices

  • Use VPC for private connectivity.
  • Rotate credentials and limit user privileges.
  • Enforce TLS connections.

Migration Planning

  • Use engine-specific migration guides.
  • Validate application connectivity before cutover.
  • Plan rollback using snapshots or backups.

Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

  • digitalocean-networking: VPC, firewalls, and private access.
  • digitalocean-management: Monitoring and alerting.
  • digitalocean-storage: Backup and snapshot workflows.

Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.

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.
