What it does

Neon is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Inspect Neon serverless Postgres: projects, branches, databases. Branch create and delete need exact-match confirmation; connection passwords are masked. Trigger phrases: neon, serverless postgres, database branch, postgres project.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/neon.py`).

It sits in Databases. It works with PostgreSQL and Neon. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Serverless postgres
  • Database branch
  • Postgres project

Example prompts

  • “/neon”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Neon loads about 927 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~927

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Neon

Purpose

Manage Neon serverless Postgres infrastructure through the Neon Management API: list projects, inspect one project, list branches, create or delete a branch, and list databases. Reach for this when the user wants to inspect or provision database infrastructure. SQL queries run over the Postgres wire protocol, so this connector manages infrastructure only; it does not run queries.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/neon.py:

bash
bin/neon.py auth                                          # verify the API key
bin/neon.py projects                                      # list projects
bin/neon.py project-get --project-id PROJ_ID              # one project
bin/neon.py branches --project-id PROJ_ID                 # list branches
bin/neon.py branch-create --project-id PROJ_ID --name dev \
    --confirm "create branch dev in project PROJ_ID"       # create a branch (HIGH)
bin/neon.py branch-delete --project-id PROJ_ID --branch-id BR_ID \
    --confirm "delete branch BR_ID in project PROJ_ID"     # delete a branch (HIGH)
bin/neon.py databases --project-id PROJ_ID                # list databases

Branch create accepts an optional --parent-branch-id to branch from a non-default branch.

Auth

  • Provider id: neon (credential is collected as custom.neon)
  • Collection: API key (Neon console > Account settings > API keys) via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access)
  • Auth scheme: Authorization: Bearer <api key> on every request
  • Allowed hosts: console.neon.tech
  • Status check: bin/neon.py auth

Operating Rules

  1. Branch create and branch delete are HIGH actuations. Creating a branch provisions a live database branch with compute that can incur billable usage; deleting one is irreversible and destroys the branch, its compute endpoint, and its data. Both require --confirm with the exact string the CLI echoes on every call. Missing or mismatched confirmation refuses the call.
  2. Connection strings are secrets. The branch-create response includes connection URIs that embed database passwords. The CLI masks the password portion (user:***@host) on display. Never print, log, transmit, or paste a full connection string into chat. If a connection string is needed for app config, deliver it only to the exact destination the user named.
  3. Reads (projects, branches, databases) need no confirmation. Surface choices before any write: name the project, the branch name, and the parent branch, and default cautiously. Never create a branch in a project the user did not choose.
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/neon.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the API key.
  5. Honesty flags (unverified while building this connector): the task brief named api.neon.tech, but the verified Neon Management API host is console.neon.tech; the CLI uses the verified host. The branch DELETE path was not explicitly confirmed in the docs consulted; the CLI surfaces Neon's own error if it differs.
