planetscale-postgres-safety-review

planetscale-postgres-safety-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from planetscale/claude-plugin. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,892 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of planetscale-postgres-safety-review, Apache-2.0.

A review checklist for PlanetScale Postgres, a hosted PostgreSQL database, covering database safety, recovery, access, connectivity, schema changes, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review database branches, migrations, backups and point-in-time recovery, roles, query labels, private connections, webhooks, and safe agent operation.
Why use it?
It helps spot risks that could cause downtime, data loss, unsafe automation, or poorly tested production changes. It gives recommendations without applying changes.

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

planetscale-postgres-safety-review 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.

Postgres safety review

Purpose

Recommend best practices for a PlanetScale Postgres database. Focus on availability protection, application isolation, recovery, safe automation, and observability. Do not apply changes.

Branch and schema workflow

PlanetScale Postgres branches do not use Vitess-style deploy requests. Schema changes are made directly to each branch, and production schema changes should be managed through the application’s normal migration workflow with a branch validation step.

Check:

  • Whether a development or test branch exists.
  • Whether branches are empty or restored from backup.
  • Whether migrations are tested against a branch before production.
  • Whether application migrations are reversible or have a documented rollback strategy.
  • Whether production DDL is manually reviewed.

Recommend:

  • Create or use a non-production branch for migration testing.
  • Run migration validation and application tests against that branch.
  • Treat production migration application as an explicit human-approved deployment step.
  • Use PITR/backup restore branches for incident recovery, not as an automatic rollback mechanism.

Do not create branches, run migrations, or restore backups without approval.

Roles and least privilege

Check whether the application connects with the default role. Flag this as a safety gap.

Recommend:

  • Use user-defined application roles, not the default role, for application servers.
  • Separate roles by service, environment, and access pattern.
  • Use read-only roles for analytics, dashboards, reporting, and agents that do not need writes.
  • Use short-lived or purpose-limited roles for automation.
  • When Terraform manages PlanetScale Postgres roles, prefer planetscale_postgres_redacted_branch_role for roles whose password should stay out of Terraform state; reset the password through the API or dashboard and store it in the team's secret manager.
  • Document credential rotation without application downtime.

Do not create, reset, delete, or rotate roles without approval.

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.
