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 | $0.00039 | $0.00515 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00206 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00103 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
alloydb-basics 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to alloydb-basics — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
AlloyDB Basics
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is a managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service designed for enterprise-grade performance and availability. It utilizes a disaggregated compute and storage architecture to scale resources independently. It also provides AlloyDB AI, a collection of features that includes AI-powered search (vector, hybrid search, and AI functions), natural language capabilities, conversational analytics, and inference features like forecasting and model endpoint management to help developers build AI apps faster.
Quick Start
-
Enable the AlloyDB API:
gcloud services enable alloydb.googleapis.com -
Create a Cluster:
gcloud alloydb clusters create my-cluster --region=us-central1 \ --password=my-password --network=my-vpcNote: For production, we recommend using IAM database authentication instead of passwords. If passwords must be used, use secure secret management (e.g., Secret Manager) instead of passing passwords in cleartext.
-
Create a Primary Instance:
gcloud alloydb instances create my-primary --cluster=my-cluster \ --region=us-central1 --instance-type=PRIMARY --cpu-count=2
Reference Directory
-
Core Concepts: Architecture, disaggregated storage, and performance features.
-
CLI Usage: Essential
gcloud alloydbcommands for cluster and instance management. -
Client Libraries & Connectors: Connecting to AlloyDB using Python, Java, Node.js, and Go.
-
MCP Usage: Using the AlloyDB remote MCP server and Gemini CLI extension.
-
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform configuration and deployment examples.
-
IAM & Security: Predefined roles, service agents, and database authentication.

What ships with it
6 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.

alloydb-basics is a skill published in the GitHub repository techequitycloud/rad-modules (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 515 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to alloydb-basics, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.
