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

metabase-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Don't drive Metabase by `curl`ing `/api/...` directly — the CLI handles auth profiles, retries, schema validation, and credential redaction.

What it actually says

metabase-cli

Load the workflow content from the CLI:

mb skills get core      # start here — auth, flag conventions, every command group
mb skills list          # enumerate specialized skills bundled with this CLI version
mb skills get <name>    # load a specialized skill (transform, data-workflow, dashboard, git-sync, data-app, …)

Command groups, in full: authenticate with named profiles; inspect databases (list, get, full metadata rollup, schemas, tables in a schema) and trigger a manual schema sync or field-values rescan; inspect tables and fields; list/get/create/update/archive cards (questions, models, metrics) and run them as JSON/CSV/XLSX; list/get/create/update dashboards and patch dashcards; list/get/create collections and traverse the hierarchy by id, entity_id, or "root"/"trash" (with items and recursive tree); list/get/create/update/archive native query snippets, segments, and measures; author/update/run transforms and schedule transform-jobs; publish tables to the Library; create data actions; create, bundle and turn off data apps; read/update settings; search content (cards, dashboards, collections, transforms, metrics); git-sync to/from a git remote (status, dirty, import, export, branches, stash, add/remove a collection from sync).

Don't drive Metabase by curling /api/... directly — the CLI handles auth profiles, retries, schema validation, and credential redaction.

Doing a whole job, not one command? Higher-level data-engineering workflows — raw data to clean tables, the semantic layer, dashboards — live in the metabase-rde skill, which drives this CLI:

npx skills add metabase/agent-skills --skill metabase-rde

When it is installed, follow it; it loads the bundled skills it needs.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
