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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00186 | $0.04187 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00093 | $0.02093 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00837 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00419 |
Grade C, and why
neo4j-aura-provisioning-skill scanned grade C with 3 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 12d 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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
r = requests.post( "https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token", Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
sudo mv aura-cli /usr/local/bin/ Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 477 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
When to Use
- Creating an Aura instance (CLI, REST API, Python, Terraform)
- Pausing, resuming, resizing, or deleting an instance
- Downloading initial credentials from creation response
- Polling instance status:
creating→running - Setting up CI/CD provisioning or teardown pipelines
- Choosing instance tier (Free vs Professional vs Business Critical vs VDC)
When NOT to Use
- Cypher queries against running DB →
neo4j-cypher-skill - GDS algorithms on Aura →
neo4j-gds-skill(Pro with plugin) orneo4j-aura-graph-analytics-skill(serverless) - neo4j-admin / cypher-shell →
neo4j-cli-tools-skill - Application driver setup → use a language driver skill (python, javascript, java, go, dotnet)

Auth Setup
CLI (aura-cli v1.7+)
Install (binary, not pip):
# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/neo4j/aura-cli/releases/latest/download/aura-cli-darwin-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv aura-cli /usr/local/bin/
aura-cli -v # verify
Add credentials (from console.neo4j.io → Account Settings → API Credentials):
aura-cli credential add \
--name "my-creds" \
--client-id "$AURA_CLIENT_ID" \
--client-secret "$AURA_CLIENT_SECRET"
aura-cli credential use --name "my-creds"
What ships with it
5 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.

neo4j-aura-provisioning-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills (109 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 186 tokens to every session and 4,187 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (sends data to an external url, asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
