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 | $0.00071 | $0.03227 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01614 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00645 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00323 |
Grade A, and why
configuring-private-connectivity 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 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.

Configuring Private Connectivity
Configures private network connectivity for CockroachDB Cloud clusters to eliminate public internet exposure for database traffic. Covers ingress private endpoints (AWS PrivateLink, GCP Private Service Connect, Azure Private Link), egress private endpoints for outbound connections to external services, and VPC peering.
When to Use This Skill
- Setting up private endpoints to eliminate public internet exposure for database connections
- Configuring egress private endpoints for CDC changefeeds to Confluent Kafka or other external services
- Establishing VPC peering between a CockroachDB Cloud cluster and application VPCs
- Troubleshooting DNS resolution issues with private endpoints
- Resolving "stuck pending" or connection failure errors with private endpoints
- Automating private connectivity setup with Terraform
Prerequisites
- CockroachDB Cloud cluster — Standard or Advanced plan (VPC peering requires Advanced)
- ccloud CLI authenticated with Cluster Admin role
- Cloud provider access:
- AWS: IAM permissions to create VPC endpoints, modify DNS, and manage security groups
- GCP: Permissions to create Private Service Connect endpoints and DNS records
- Azure: Permissions to create private endpoints and manage DNS zones
- Cluster ID and cloud provider details from
ccloud cluster info
Verify access:
ccloud auth whoami
ccloud cluster info <cluster-name> -o json
See ccloud commands reference for full command syntax.
Configuration Decisions
Before proceeding, determine which connectivity types and cloud provider apply to the user's environment. Ask which options are relevant, then follow only the corresponding sections below.
Decision 1 — Connectivity type(s) needed:
- Ingress private endpoints: Applications connect to CockroachDB over a private network path (AWS PrivateLink, GCP Private Service Connect, Azure Private Link). Most common use case.
- Egress private endpoints: CockroachDB connects outbound to external services (e.g., Confluent Kafka for CDC) over a private path.
- VPC peering: Direct network connection between the application VPC and the CockroachDB Cloud VPC. Requires Advanced plan.
- Combination: Multiple connectivity types can be configured together.

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.

configuring-private-connectivity is a skill published in the GitHub repository cockroachlabs/cockroachdb-skills (21 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 3,227 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
