Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00071 | $0.02067 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01033 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00413 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00207 |
Grade A, and why
teradata-connection scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Teradata Connection Skill
On Entry
Tell the user:
Setting up Teradata connection — I'll configure and test a connection to your source Teradata database. This requires a driver download on first use.
Prerequisites
- Network access to the Teradata database instance
- Teradata credentials (username/password) — standard or LDAP-backed
- The
scaiCLI installed and available - The Teradata .NET driver NuGet package (
Teradata.Client.Provider.nupkg) — see Step 1
Required Connection Details
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
-s, --source-connection |
Yes | Friendly name for this connection |
--auth |
Yes | Authentication method (standard or ldap) |
--host |
Yes | Teradata hostname or IP |
--database |
Yes | Teradata database name |
--port |
No | Port number (default: 1025) |
--user |
Yes | Teradata username |
--password |
Yes | Teradata password (prompted securely) |
--connection-timeout |
No | Connection timeout in seconds (default: 30) |
Workflow
Step 1: Provision the Teradata Driver
The required driver is the Teradata.Client.Provider NuGet package. Resolve it by following the canonical bootstrap flow:
Driver bootstrap: see
../references/driver-bootstrap.mdwith parameters<dialect>=teradata,<package>=Teradata.Client.Provider,<driver_file>=Teradata.Client.Provider.nupkg,<cache_dir>=~/.snowflake/scai/drivers/teradata/,<nuget_url>=https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/Teradata.Client.Provider.
That doc walks through cache check → ask-on-miss → user-provided path or download → first SCAI invocation with --driver-path if needed. Follow it silently — don't narrate "the bootstrap flow" or step labels to the user.
Naming guard: the driver is a .NET NuGet package, not a JDBC driver. Refer to it only as "the Teradata driver" or "the Teradata NuGet package" when talking to the user.
For this skill specifically, the first SCAI invocation called out by the bootstrap is the configure tool call in Step 4 below — pass driver_path=<PATH> there if the driver wasn't already cached. The MCP server invokes scai connection test --driver-path <PATH> internally, which seeds the driver cache.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

teradata-connection is a skill published in the GitHub repository sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo (33 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 2,067 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-10.
