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 | $0.00070 | $0.01849 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00924 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00370 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
enabling-cmek-encryption 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 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.
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.

Enabling CMEK Encryption
Enables Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) on CockroachDB Cloud clusters so that data-at-rest encryption is controlled by keys in the organization's own cloud provider KMS (AWS KMS, GCP Cloud KMS, or Azure Key Vault). CMEK gives organizations full control over key lifecycle, rotation, and revocation.
When to Use This Skill
- Enabling CMEK for regulatory or compliance requirements (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS)
- Verifying CMEK is properly configured after initial setup
- Rotating CMEK keys per organization key rotation policy
- Responding to a security audit finding about encryption at rest
- Understanding CMEK requirements and plan prerequisites
Prerequisites
- CockroachDB Cloud Advanced plan — CMEK is not available on Basic or Standard plans
- Advanced Security Add-on — Must be enabled on the Advanced plan cluster
- Cloud provider KMS:
- AWS: KMS key in the same region as the cluster, with appropriate IAM policy
- GCP: Cloud KMS key ring and key in the same region, with appropriate IAM bindings
- Azure: Key Vault with key in the same region, with appropriate access policies
- ccloud CLI authenticated with Cluster Admin role
- Cross-account access: The CockroachDB Cloud service account must have permission to use the KMS key
Check plan eligibility:
# Verify cluster plan type
ccloud cluster info <cluster-name> -o json
# Look for "plan": "ADVANCED" and Advanced Security Add-on status
Configuration Decisions
Before proceeding, determine which cloud provider KMS the user will use. Ask which option applies to their environment, then follow only the corresponding subsection in Step 2.
Decision 1 — Cloud provider KMS:
- AWS KMS: Use when the CockroachDB Cloud cluster runs on AWS. Requires a symmetric encryption key in the same region as the cluster.
- GCP Cloud KMS: Use when the cluster runs on GCP. Requires a key ring and key in the same region.
- Azure Key Vault: Use when the cluster runs on Azure. Requires a Key Vault with a key in the same region.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

enabling-cmek-encryption is a skill published in the GitHub repository cockroachlabs/cockroachdb-skills (21 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,849 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
