Mysql

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Querying MySQL databases
• Exploring database schemas/tables
• Running SELECT queries for data analysis
• Checking database contents

Example prompts

• “/mysql”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Run --list to show available databases
2. 2Match user intent to database description
3. 3Run --tables or --schema to explore structure
4. 4Execute query with appropriate LIMIT

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 281d88d. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3
  • pip

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

Mysql loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 337 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~98

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

name

mysql

description

Execute read-only SQL queries against multiple MySQL databases. Use when: (1) querying MySQL databases, (2) exploring database schemas/tables, (3) running SELECT queries for data analysis, (4) checking database contents. Supports multiple database connections with descriptions for intelligent auto-selection. Blocks all write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc.) for safety.
