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 | $0.00140 | $0.00937 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00070 | $0.00468 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00187 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
surrealql-functions 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SurrealQL Functions
SurrealDB ships hundreds of built-in functions grouped into namespaces
(string::, array::, math::, type::, …). Function names and signatures
change between releases, so the authoritative, version-current source is the
SurrealQL tooling rather than memory:
- surrealql-language-server (LSP) — completions for built-in functions, hover with type info and function signatures, and signature help.
- surrealql-tree-sitter — the grammar the LSP parses with (targets SurrealDB v3+).
For mapping any function to authoritative documentation, see references/catalog.md.
When to use this skill
- Looking up which built-in function does what, or its exact arguments
- Getting live completions, hover, and signature help for
.surqlfiles - Confirming a function exists / has the expected signature in the installed SurrealDB version (avoids emitting renamed or removed functions)
Setup
Install the language server from crates.io — the published crate bundles the grammar, so no separate tree-sitter checkout is needed:
cargo install surrealql-language-server
# -> installs the `surrealql-language-server` binary on your PATH (~/.cargo/bin)
Verify it is on your PATH:
surrealql-language-server --help
Build from source (optional)
Only needed for development or to track unreleased changes. The source build requires the tree-sitter grammar checked out as a sibling directory:
git clone https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealql-language-server.git
cd surrealql-language-server
bash scripts/setup-grammar.sh # clones/updates the grammar
# ...or: export TREE_SITTER_SURREALQL_DIR=/abs/path/to/surrealql-tree-sitter
cargo build --release # -> target/release/surrealql-language-server
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.

surrealql-functions is a skill published in the GitHub repository surrealdb/agent-skills (25 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 937 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
