CockroachDB Plugin for Cursor connects the Cursor coding agent to CockroachDB clusters for database work such as exploring schemas, writing SQL, debugging queries, and managing distributed clusters. It supports self-hosted and CockroachDB Cloud connections, and its catalogue add-ons provide database-focused agents, skills, rules, and instructions.
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 | $0.00090 | $0.02508 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.01003 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00502 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00251 |
Grade A, and why
managing-cluster-settings 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 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.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to managing-cluster-settings — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Managing Cluster Settings
Reviews, audits, and modifies CockroachDB cluster settings. Before providing procedures, this skill gathers context to determine which settings are available and which modification approach to recommend for the operator's tier.
When to Use This Skill
- Auditing cluster configuration for production readiness
- Identifying settings that deviate from defaults
- Tuning performance, replication, or admission control
- Verifying settings after an upgrade or incident
- Understanding which settings are modifiable on your tier
- Managing enterprise license installation and renewal (Self-Hosted)
For version management: Use upgrading-cluster-version — do not change settings during an upgrade. For health checks: Use reviewing-cluster-health.
Step 1: Gather Context
Required Context
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment tier? | Self-Hosted, Advanced, BYOC, Standard, Basic | Determines which settings are viewable and modifiable |
| Goal? | Audit/review, Tune performance, Fix specific issue, Post-upgrade verification | Directs which queries and procedures to use |
Additional Context (by tier)
If Self-Hosted:
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| SQL access level? | admin, MODIFYCLUSTERSETTING, VIEWCLUSTERSETTING | Determines available operations |
| Specific setting or area? | e.g., "timeout", "replication", "gc" | Narrows search to relevant settings |
| Currently mid-upgrade? | Yes, No | Settings must NOT be changed during rolling upgrades |
If Advanced or BYOC:
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| SQL access level? | admin, limited | Determines available operations |
| Specific setting or area? | e.g., "timeout", "rangefeed" | Narrows search |
If Standard or Basic: No additional context needed — settings access is limited. Session variables are the primary tuning mechanism.
What ships with it
5 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.
