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 | $0.00023 | $0.00409 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00204 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00082 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
mariadb 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.
What it actually says
MariaDB
MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, created by the original developers of MySQL. It is guaranteed to stay open source. It lists features that MySQL doesn't have, or adds them faster.
When to Use
- MySQL Compatible: Drop-in replacement for MySQL.
- Open Source: If you prefer GPL over Oracle's dual license.
- Advanced Features: Flashback, Sequences, Dynamic Columns (NoSQL), Spider Engine (Sharding).
Quick Start
Same as MySQL usually.
-- System-Versioned Tables (Time Travel)
CREATE TABLE t (
x INT,
PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (ts_start, ts_end)
) WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING;
-- Query history
SELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF TIMESTAMP '2024-01-01 00:00:00';
Core Concepts
Storage Engines
MariaDB supports many more engines out of the box than MySQL:
- Aria: Crash-safe replacement for MyISAM.
- ColumnStore: For analytics (Columnar storage).
- Spider: For database sharding.
Galera Cluster
Synchronous multi-master replication. Available in MariaDB by default.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use Vector Search (2025): MariaDB Enterprise 2025 adds native vector search for AI RAG apps.
- Use Thread Pooling: Enabled by default in MariaDB (unlike safe MySQL), handling high connection counts efficiently.
Don't:
- Don't assume 100% MySQL parity: While mostly compatible, new JSON functions and optimizers diverge. Check the specific version docs (11.x).

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.

mariadb is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 409 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
