OpenMetadata is an open platform that organizes information about data, including its meaning, ownership, quality, history, and relationships. It provides governed context for data users, AI assistants, and agents that need to discover and understand trustworthy data.
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 | $0.00047 | $0.03606 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01803 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00721 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00361 |
Grade A, and why
scaffold-connector 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 5d 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.

OpenMetadata Connector Building Skill
When to Activate
When a user asks to build, create, add, or scaffold a new connector, source, or integration for OpenMetadata.
Core Insight
One JSON Schema definition cascades through 6 layers: Python Pydantic models, Java models, UI forms (RJSF auto-render), API validation, test fixtures, and documentation. Define the schema once — everything else is generated or guided.
Workflow: 7 Phases
Phase 0: ENVIRONMENT — Set Up Python Dev Environment
Before any make or python commands, set up the environment from the repo root:
python3.11 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
make install_dev generate
Always activate before running commands: source env/bin/activate
Phase 1: SCAFFOLD — Generate Boilerplate
Run the scaffold CLI to collect inputs and generate files:
source env/bin/activate
metadata scaffold-connector
Interactive mode collects: connector name, service type, connection type, auth types, capabilities, docs URL, SDK package, API endpoints, implementation notes, Docker image, container port.
Non-interactive mode:
metadata scaffold-connector \
--name my_db \
--service-type database \
--connection-type sqlalchemy \
--scheme "mydb+pymydb" \
--auth-types basic \
--capabilities metadata lineage usage profiler \
--docs-url "https://docs.example.com/api" \
--sdk-package "mydb-sdk" \
--docker-image "mydb/mydb:latest" \
--docker-port 5432
Output: JSON Schema + test connection JSON + Python files + CONNECTOR_CONTEXT.md as an AI working document. SQLAlchemy database connectors get concrete code templates; all others get skeleton files with pointers to reference connectors.
CONNECTOR_CONTEXT.md handling: The scaffold generates CONNECTOR_CONTEXT.md in the connector directory as a working document for any AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Windsurf). It is gitignored — it stays local and is never committed to the repo. No cleanup needed.
What ships with it

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.

scaffold-connector is a skill published in the GitHub repository open-metadata/OpenMetadata (15,098 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 3,606 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
