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 5.1 | $0.00129 | $0.01608 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00064 | $0.00804 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00322 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00161 |
Grade C, and why
surrealdb-cli scanned grade C with 2 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.

SurrealDB CLI
A skill for driving the surreal command-line binary — SurrealDB's all-in-one tool for running a server, querying it, and moving data in and out.
This skill covers operating the surreal binary itself. To write the SurrealQL that you run with it, use the surrealql skill; for declarative schema migrations and type generation, use the surrealkit skill.
When to use this skill
Reference these guidelines when:
- Starting a SurrealDB server, locally or in a container (
surreal start) - Opening the SQL shell or piping queries from a file (
surreal sql) - Importing or exporting a database for backups, seeding, or migration (
surreal import/surreal export) - Gating scripts or CI on server availability (
surreal is-ready) - Upgrading the binary or repairing on-disk storage after an upgrade (
surreal upgrade/surreal fix) - Importing or exporting SurrealML models (
surreal ml)
Installation
| Method | Command |
|---|---|
| curl (macOS / Linux) | curl -sSf https://install.surrealdb.com | sh |
| Windows (PowerShell) | iwr https://windows.surrealdb.com -useb | iex |
| Homebrew | brew install surrealdb/tap/surreal |
| Docker | docker run --rm --pull always -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start |
Verify with surreal version. Pin a specific image tag (not latest) for production. See the install docs for the current set of methods.

What ships with it
4 files 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.

surrealdb-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository surrealdb/agent-skills (25 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 1,608 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
