Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

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 planetscale/database-skills at 73b20b7eb6.
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

The MySQL skill enables AI agents to interact with MySQL databases, including executing queries, managing schemas, and handling data operations. It supports common SQL commands and provides tools for database administration tasks.

When to use it

When you need to run complex SQL queries on a MySQL database.
To automate routine database maintenance or backup processes.
For integrating application logic with a MySQL backend in development workflows.
When setting up or configuring a new MySQL instance for an AI agent environment.

Key capabilities

Execute SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements
Manage user permissions and access control
Backup and restore database schemas
Monitor database performance metrics

Example prompts

"Run a SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 25 query on the 'mydb' database."
"Create a new MySQL user with read-only access to the 'inventory' schema."
"Backup the 'sales' database and store it in /backups/sales_2023.sql."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that the AI agent has proper credentials and network access to the MySQL server.
Be cautious when running destructive queries (e.g., DELETE or DROP) without a backup.
