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

database_client 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 1mo 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

database_client

Run queries against databases.

Operations

  • db.connect(dsn_ref) — DSN retrieved via secrets_manager.
  • db.query(conn, sql, params?) — returns rows + metadata.
  • db.execute(conn, sql, params?) — write queries (at least mid-risk).
  • db.schema(conn, object?) — introspect.
  • db.migrations.status(dir) — checked against detected migration tool.

I/O Contract

io_contract:
  input: { op, args }
  output: { rows_or_meta }
  idempotent: for_SELECT
  side_effects: [network, "state_mutation?"]

Safety

  • Destructive SQL (DROP, TRUNCATE, DELETE without WHERE on prod) → critical.
  • db.execute on production connection → Council + user.
  • All queries logged (with parameter values redacted if they match secret patterns).
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.
