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

scylladb-cloud-setup 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.

ScyllaDB Cloud Connection Setup

This skill guides users through connecting their application to a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster using the appropriate CQL driver.

Overview

Connecting to ScyllaDB Cloud requires:

  1. Cluster credentials — username, password, and node addresses from the ScyllaDB Cloud Console
  2. A ScyllaDB CQL driver — installed for the user's programming language

This is an interactive step-by-step guide. The agent detects the user's environment and provides tailored instructions.

Step 1: Verify the Cluster is Running

Ask the user to confirm they have a ScyllaDB Cloud cluster. If not, direct them to:

  1. Go to cloud.scylladb.com and log in (or sign up)
  2. Click New Cluster or Free Trial
  3. Choose AWS or GCP, configure region, instance type, and cluster name
  4. Whitelist their IP address
  5. (Recommended) Enable VPC Peering during cluster creation — it cannot be enabled later
  6. Click Launch Cluster and wait for provisioning

Alternatively, for infrastructure-as-code workflows, clusters can be provisioned via the ScyllaDB Cloud Terraform provider (scylladbcloud_cluster resource), which wraps the same ScyllaDB Cloud REST API used by the Console. This is the better option to suggest when a user is scripting cluster creation rather than clicking through the UI once.

Step 2: Retrieve Connection Credentials

Guide the user to obtain credentials from the Cloud Console:

  1. Go to My Clusters → open the cluster
  2. Open the Connect tab
  3. Note the following:
  • Node addresses (contact points) — e.g., node-0.your-cluster.cloud.scylladb.com
  • Port — typically 9042
  • Username — default is scylla
  • Password — shown on the Connect tab
  • Datacenter name — e.g., AWS_US_EAST_1

Do not ask for or handle credentials directly — guide the user to retrieve them from the Console and store them securely (environment variables, secrets manager, etc.).

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.
