A command-line interface for managing a Metabase instance from the terminal. It supports named authentication profiles and operations for databases, metadata, schema updates, and saved questions and models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect databases and tables, refresh metadata, manage cards, and load the CLI's built-in workflow instructions.

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 3d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

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 (workspace, transform, git-sync, …)

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

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.
