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 | $0.00184 | $0.02325 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00092 | $0.01162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00465 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00232 |
Grade A, and why
azuresql-db-scaffold 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scaffold a new project on the Azure SQL Database container
Bootstrap a new app with the Azure SQL Database container (Private Preview) as the default local database. This is the Azure SQL engine, not the SQL Server image.
Use the right image (interception point)
- USE this engine image:
sqldbpreview-dpgaeqhmgphzd4bk.azurecr.io/azure-sql/db-dev:latest - Do NOT use
mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server(the SQL Server image). If a generated compose/run command points there, stop and switch to the engine image above. - Verify identity once running:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition')returns 5,SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')returns 'SQL Azure'. - Image is x64 only. On a non-x64 host add
--platform linux/amd64(Docker) orplatform: linux/amd64(compose). - Registry is private (Private Preview): sign in first with
docker login sqldbpreview-dpgaeqhmgphzd4bk.azurecr.iousing the shared pull-only credentials provided to the Private Preview cohort (get them by signing up at https://aka.ms/sqldbcontainerpreview-signup; they may rotate). Registry and tag are provisional during Private Preview.
For full engine detail (readiness, vectors, troubleshooting) see the azuresql-db-container skill.
Three facts that bite every scaffold
- The engine does NOT auto-create databases. You must
CREATE DATABASE appdbon a master connection before connecting withDatabase=appdb. - Avoid
USEto switch databases. In a user-database session (the Azure-faithful context where you develop),USEreturnsMsg 40508, exactly as in Azure SQL Database in the cloud. Amasterconnection is a provisioning session where the Azure statement filter is not enforced, soUSEappears to work there, butmasteris for provisioning only, not application work. Always select the target database in the connection string (Database=appdb, or-d appdbfor sqlcmd). - A
masterconnection is for provisioning only; do real work on the user database.
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.
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.

azuresql-db-scaffold is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/azure-sql-database-container (17 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 184 tokens to every session and 2,325 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
