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 | $0.00061 | $0.03309 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.01324 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00662 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00331 |
Grade A, and why
triaging-live-sql-activity 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 triaging-live-sql-activity — 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.

Triaging Live SQL Activity
Diagnoses live cluster performance issues by identifying currently active long-running queries, busy sessions, and active transactions. Uses SQL-only interfaces (SHOW statements and crdb_internal views) to provide immediate triage without requiring DB Console, HTTP endpoints, or Prometheus access.
When to Use This Skill
- Users report "the cluster is slow right now"
- High CPU or memory usage on cluster nodes
- Need to identify runaway queries or stuck transactions
- Want to find which applications/users are consuming resources
- Require immediate triage without DB Console access
- Need to generate SQL to cancel problematic sessions/queries
For historical performance analysis: Use profiling-statement-fingerprints to analyze query patterns over time, identify slow fingerprints, and investigate trends without needing live queries. For transaction-level analysis: Use profiling-transaction-fingerprints to analyze historical transaction retry patterns, commit latency trends, and statement composition. For background job monitoring: Use monitoring-background-jobs to monitor schema changes, backups, and automatic jobs that don't appear in SHOW CLUSTER STATEMENTS.
Prerequisites
Required SQL access:
- Connection to any CockroachDB node
- For cluster-wide visibility:
VIEWACTIVITYorVIEWACTIVITYREDACTEDprivilegeVIEWACTIVITYREDACTED: Redacts constants in other users' queries (recommended for privacy)VIEWACTIVITY: Shows full query text for all users- Without these: Only see your own sessions/queries
- Basic understanding of SQL query execution
- (Optional)
CANCELQUERY/CANCELSESSIONprivileges for cancellation operations
Check your privileges:
SHOW SYSTEM GRANTS FOR <username>;
See permissions reference for detailed RBAC setup.
What ships with it
2 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.
