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 | $0.00042 | $0.01066 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00533 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00213 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
cloud-sql-sqlserver-lifecycle 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
94% identical to cloud-sql-mysql-lifecycle — 6 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 — 114 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
clone_instance
Clone an existing Cloud SQL instance into a new instance. The clone can be a direct copy of the source instance, or a point-in-time-recovery (PITR) clone from a specific timestamp. The call returns a Cloud SQL Operation object. Call wait_for_operation tool after this, make sure to use multiplier as 4 to poll the opertation status till it is marked DONE.
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 | |
| sourceInstanceName | string | The name of the instance to be cloned. | Yes | |
| destinationInstanceName | string | The name of the new instance that will be created by cloning the source instance. | Yes | |
| pointInTime | string | The timestamp in RFC 3339 format to which the source instance should be cloned. | No | |
| preferredZone | string | The preferred zone for the new instance. | No | |
| preferredSecondaryZone | string | The preferred secondary zone for the new instance. | No |
create_backup
Creates a backup on a Cloud SQL 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 | |
| instance | string | Cloud SQL instance ID. This does not include the project ID. | Yes | |
| location | string | Location of the backup run. | No | |
| backup_description | string | The description of this backup run. | No |
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.
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.

cloud-sql-sqlserver-lifecycle is a skill published in the GitHub repository gemini-cli-extensions/cloud-sql-sqlserver (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,066 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to cloud-sql-mysql-lifecycle, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
