What it does

Once installed, the agent follows a structured checklist for reviewing a database for security weaknesses: whether it is exposed to the network, weak or shared logins, over-broad permissions, dangerous features, missing audit logs and backup access. It covers PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB and Redis, and it tells the agent to set a clear scope first and avoid destructive statements on production databases. The instructions are written mostly in Chinese with some English headings.

Great for

  • Security engineers running an authorized penetration test or audit of a database
  • Database administrators who want a structured misconfiguration review of their own instances
  • Teams preparing for a compliance check that requires database hardening evidence

Skip it if

  • Anyone without written permission to test the target, since the skill is framed around exploitation and lateral movement and could cause legal harm
  • Production systems where stray queries or injection testing could corrupt or delete data; the skill itself says destructive statements must be avoided unless explicitly allowed
  • Beginners looking for a simple how-to for building or securing a database, as it assumes penetration-testing knowledge

Try asking

  • “Review our PostgreSQL staging server for exposed ports, weak accounts and over-privileged roles, within the scope we agreed in writing”
  • “Check whether our MySQL instance has file_priv or other dangerous functions enabled and whether audit logging is on”
  • “Produce a misconfiguration checklist for our Redis and MongoDB hosts before the compliance audit”
  • “Map which application accounts could move laterally to DBA-level privileges in our MSSQL environment”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • State the exact scope, account privileges and whether writes or deletes are allowed before starting, as the skill instructs
  • Ask the agent to separate pure configuration findings from exploitable chains so reports stay accurate and proportionate
  • Point it at the bundled db-misconfig-checklist.md and ask for a results table to keep the review structured
