catalyst-datastore

catalyst-datastore is a skill for Claude Code from catalystbyzoho/agent-skills. It costs 145 tokens per session (1,100 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A relational cloud database in Catalyst, meaning data is organized into tables with defined columns and can be queried with a SQL-like language called ZCQL. It supports creating, reading, updating, and deleting rows, permissions, and paginated results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create tables, manage structured records, run ZCQL queries, control table access, and handle large result sets page by page.
Why use it?
It provides structured storage for application data and helps an agent follow the required project setup and database-access checks before making changes.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

catalyst-datastore 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 8d 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.

⚠️ PREREQUISITES — READ THIS FIRST

Before ANY Data Store operation, you MUST verify MCP connectivity.

  • Search for CatalystbyZoho_* tools in your available tool list.
  • If NOT found: STOP. Do NOT write any code, scaffold files, or instruct Console steps. Load catalyst-zoho-mcp skill and guide the user through MCP setup. Do NOT proceed until the user confirms CatalystbyZoho_* tools are visible.
  • If found: Run CatalystbyZoho_List_All_OrganizationsCatalystbyZoho_List_All_Projects to set project context, then continue to "How It Works".

Execution Checklist (MUST follow in order)

  • Step 0: Confirm CatalystbyZoho_* tools visible → if none found → STOP, set up MCP first
  • Step 1: Run CatalystbyZoho_List_All_Organizations
  • Step 2: Run CatalystbyZoho_List_All_Projects
  • Step 3: For table creation → CatalystbyZoho_Create_Table | For existing tables → CatalystbyZoho_List_All_Tables
  • Step 4: Proceed with the operation

How It Works

  1. Create or locate the table via MCP — Creating a table? Use CatalystbyZoho_Create_Table directly. Do NOT instruct the user to open the Catalyst Console or create the table manually. Reading/writing data? Use CatalystbyZoho_List_All_Tables to get table IDs. Never ask the user to copy table IDs.
  2. Load references/datastore-basics.md — for CRUD operations, ZCQL syntax, result unwrapping, and permissions setup.
  3. Unwrap ZCQL results — Always remind: rows.map(r => r.TableName). Raw ZCQL results are wrapped; accessing without unwrapping is the #1 Data Store bug.
  4. Permissions — App User permissions are OFF by default. If the query involves a logged-in user reading data, check Console → Table → Scopes & Permissions.
  5. Pagination — ZCQL max 300 rows per query. Use LIMIT offset, count for larger datasets.

Hallucination Guards

Never assert project-specific values from an empty or unread directory. If the working directory has no project files, do not invent or assume timezone, table names, project ID, environment names, or any other project-specific detail. Ask the developer to supply them.

Changes

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.
