cloud-sql-postgres-monitor

A set of tools for monitoring and troubleshooting PostgreSQL databases running on Google Cloud. PostgreSQL is a database system, and PromQL is a language for querying monitoring data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch query metrics, build PromQL queries, inspect query performance, and investigate bottlenecks in a Google Cloud PostgreSQL instance.
Why use it?
It helps find slow queries, heavy resource use, and system-level performance problems instead of relying on guesswork.

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

cloud-sql-postgres-monitor 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 8 executable files (scripts/get_query_metrics.js, scripts/get_query_plan.js, scripts/get_system_metrics.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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to cloud-sql-postgres-health — 4 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 214 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

get_query_metrics

Fetches query level cloudmonitoring data (timeseries metrics) for queries running in Postgres instance using a PromQL query. Take projectID and instanceID from the user for which the metrics timeseries data needs to be fetched. To use this tool, you must provide the Google Cloud projectId and a PromQL query.

Generate PromQL query for Postgres query metrics. Use the provided metrics and rules to construct queries, Get the labels like instance_id, query_hash from user intent. If query_hash is provided then use the per_query metrics. Query hash and query id are same.

Defaults:

  1. Interval: Use a default interval of 5m for _over_time aggregation functions unless a different window is specified by the user.

PromQL Query Examples:

  1. Basic Time Series: avg_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m])
  2. Top K: topk(30, avg_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))
  3. Mean: avg(avg_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))
  4. Minimum: min(min_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))
  5. Maximum: max(max_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))
  6. Sum: sum(avg_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))
  7. Count streams: count(avg_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))
  8. Percentile with groupby on resource_id, database: quantile by ("resource_id","database")(0.99,avg_over_time({"__name__"="cloudsql.googleapis.com/database/postgresql/insights/aggregate/execution_time","monitored_resource"="cloudsql_instance_database","project_id"="my-projectId","resource_id"="my-projectId:my-instanceId"}[5m]))

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.
