alloydb-postgres-replication

A set of tools for checking and managing replication in AlloyDB, Google Cloud’s PostgreSQL-compatible database service. Replication keeps data synchronized between database instances.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect database and instance status, monitor replication health, check synchronization states, and review connection counts and limits in an AlloyDB cluster.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether database instances are synchronized and whether the cluster has enough capacity for current connections.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

alloydb-postgres-replication 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/database_overview.js, scripts/get_instance.js, scripts/list_instances.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Usage

All scripts can be executed using Node.js. Replace <param_name> and <param_value> with actual values.

Bash: node <skill_dir>/scripts/<script_name>.js '{"<param_name>": "<param_value>"}'

PowerShell: node <skill_dir>/scripts/<script_name>.js '{\"<param_name>\": \"<param_value>\"}'

Note: The scripts automatically load the environment variables from various .env files. Do not ask the user to set vars unless skill executions fails due to env var absence.

Scripts

database_overview

Fetches the current state of the PostgreSQL server, returning the version, whether it's a replica, uptime duration, maximum connection limit, number of current connections, number of active connections, and the percentage of connections in use.


get_instance

Retrieves details about a specific AlloyDB instance.

Parameters
Name Type Description Required Default
project string The GCP project ID. This is pre-configured; do not ask for it unless the user explicitly provides a different one. No
location string The location of the instance (e.g., 'us-central1'). Yes
cluster string The ID of the cluster. Yes
instance string The ID of the instance. Yes

list_instances

Lists all AlloyDB instances in a given project, location and cluster.

Parameters
Name Type Description Required Default
project string The GCP project ID. This is pre-configured; do not ask for it unless the user explicitly provides a different one. No
location string Optional: The location of the cluster (e.g., 'us-central1'). Use '-' to get results for all regions.(Default: '-') No -
cluster string Optional: The ID of the cluster to list instances from. Use '-' to get results for all clusters.(Default: '-') No -

list_publication_tables

Parameters
Name Type Description Required Default
table_names string Optional: Filters by a comma-separated list of table names. No ``
publication_names string Optional: Filters by a comma-separated list of publication names. No ``
schema_names string Optional: Filters by a comma-separated list of schema names. No ``
limit integer Optional: The maximum number of rows to return. No 50

Files

What ships with it

6 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.

Changes

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.
