CockroachDB Plugin for Claude Code connects Claude Code to CockroachDB clusters, which are distributed databases, so the agent can work with schemas, SQL queries, and database operations. It is intended for developers, database administrators, and operators working with self-hosted or CockroachDB Cloud deployments. The catalogue entries provide its MCP connections, specialized agents, skills, and safety hooks.
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 | $0.00059 | $0.06252 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.02501 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01250 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00625 |
Grade A, and why
auditing-cloud-cluster-security scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Auditing Cloud Cluster Security
Assesses the security posture of a CockroachDB Cloud cluster by examining network access controls, authentication and SSO configuration, user authorization, encryption, audit logging, and backup status. Produces a structured PASS/WARN/FAIL report with remediation links for each finding. Supports both CockroachDB Cloud and self-hosted clusters — checks that don't apply to the deployment model are marked N/A.
Read-only audit: All operations are read-only. No cluster state is modified during the assessment.
When to Use This Skill
- Preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance reviews
- Conducting periodic security posture assessments
- Onboarding a new production cluster and validating security baseline
- Investigating security configuration gaps after an incident
- Reviewing cluster security before a major release or customer onboarding

| Encryption | ccloud + sql | CMEK status, TLS settings |
| Audit Logging | sql | Audit log config, session logging |
| Backup & Recovery | ccloud + sql | Managed backup status, self-managed backup schedules |
| Cryptographic Posture | sql + openssl + sslyze | TLS version, PQC hybrid cipher support, encryption key size |

| Cluster Configuration | ccloud | Version, plan, regions |
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

auditing-cloud-cluster-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository cockroachdb/claude-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 6,252 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to auditing-cloud-cluster-security, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
