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

embedded-sql 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Embedded SQL in ADVPL/TLPP

This skill covers writing SQL inside ADVPL/TLPP using BeginSQL ... EndSQL blocks and their special macro expressions -- %table:TABLE% for physical table resolution, %xfilial:TABLE% for branch filtering, %notDel% for logical-deletion filtering, %exp:EXPRESSION% for safe variable binding, and %Order:TABLE% for primary-key ordering. It also covers column type declarations, JOIN and aggregation patterns, subqueries, and migrating legacy TCQuery string-concatenation code to Embedded SQL.

Activate this skill whenever the user is writing a new query, reviewing an existing one for correctness/safety, or converting old concatenated-string SQL to the modern BeginSQL syntax. It also covers the restrictions and gotchas of BeginSQL (no * at line start, always include %notDel% and filial filtering, use GetNextAlias(), close aliases) and when to use TCSqlExec instead for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.

It does not cover general native function lookups unrelated to SQL (see protheus-reference), business-process context for which tables/fields to query (see protheus-business), or generating documentation for a routine that happens to contain SQL (see documentation-patterns).

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.
