Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills at 0d094169f5.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to configure and manage dbt (data build tool) MCP (Model Context Protocol) server instances for data transformation workflows. It provides programmatic access to dbt configuration settings through standardized protocol interfaces.

When to use it

  • Setting up automated data pipeline orchestration with AI assistance
  • Integrating dbt transformations into agent-driven analytics workflows
  • Managing connection parameters and project configurations programmatically
  • Deploying dbt MCP server instances in production environments

Key capabilities

  • Configure dbt MCP server connection settings
  • Manage data transformation project configurations
  • Enable AI agents to interact with dbt through MCP protocol
  • Support 44+ installations for enterprise data workflows

Example prompts

  • "Configure the dbt MCP server with my warehouse credentials"
  • "Set up a new dbt project configuration for the analytics team"
  • "Connect the MCP server to our Snowflake data warehouse"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have proper dbt MCP server documentation before configuring. The skill requires understanding of both dbt architecture and MCP protocol specifications.
