What is airtable-automation?

A guide for controlling Airtable, a cloud database and spreadsheet-like service, through connected automation tools. It covers bases, tables, fields, views, and records.

Use it to find bases, inspect table structures, list or filter records, and create, update, or delete Airtable records.

It helps an agent discover the current Airtable setup before changing data. This reduces errors caused by guessing table structures or using outdated tool details.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add pinkpixel-dev/skills-collection-1 --skill airtable-automation

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pinkpixel-dev/skills-collection-1

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00037	$0.01736
Opus 5	$0.00018	$0.00868
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00347
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00174

Security

Grade A, and why

airtable-automation 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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

Airtable Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Airtable operations through Composio's Airtable toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active Airtable connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit airtable
Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit airtable
If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Airtable auth
Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Create and Manage Records

When to use: User wants to create, read, update, or delete records

Tool sequence:

AIRTABLE_LIST_BASES - Discover available bases [Prerequisite]
AIRTABLE_GET_BASE_SCHEMA - Inspect table structure [Prerequisite]
AIRTABLE_LIST_RECORDS - List/filter records [Optional]
AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORDS - Create records [Optional]
AIRTABLE_UPDATE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_UPDATE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS - Update records [Optional]
AIRTABLE_DELETE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS - Delete records [Optional]

Key parameters:

baseId: Base ID (starts with 'app', e.g., 'appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
tableIdOrName: Table ID (starts with 'tbl') or table name
fields: Object mapping field names to values
recordId: Record ID (starts with 'rec') for updates/deletes
filterByFormula: Airtable formula for filtering
typecast: Set true for automatic type conversion

Pitfalls:

pageSize capped at 100; uses offset pagination; changing filters between pages can skip/duplicate rows
CREATE_RECORDS hard limit of 10 records per request; chunk larger imports
Field names are CASE-SENSITIVE and must match schema exactly
422 UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME when field names are wrong; 403 for permission issues
INVALID_MULTIPLE_CHOICE_OPTIONS may require typecast=true

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.
