About

Database Manager provides SQL and NoSQL access for agents. Query databases, insert/update/delete records, manage migrations, and handle complex database operations as part of agent workflows.

Use Cases

  • Agent queries database for decision-making
  • Automated data entry and record updates
  • Backup and migration management
  • Analytics queries and reporting

What Database Manager can access

Moderate access

Skim the SKILL.md before installing, and check which credentials it asks for against what it actually claims to do.

  • Needs your credentials

    You must supply secrets for this skill to work. A skill with a valid key can do anything that key permits, so scope each one as narrowly as the provider allows and never reuse an admin key.

    Declares 1 required credential: DB_CONNECTION_STRING

  • Reads or writes your files

    It works with files on disk. Consider which directories the agent process can actually reach.

    This skill's own description refers to "backup"

  • Reads your stored data

    It queries a database or persistent store. Prefer a read-only credential unless it genuinely needs to write.

    This skill's own description refers to "database"

These permissions are inferred from this listing — the credentials it declares, any maintainer warning, and the operations its own description mentions. ClawVault has not audited this skill's source code. Treat it as a starting point for your own review, not a substitute for one.

Installing Database Manager on OpenClaw

An OpenClaw skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file: Markdown with YAML frontmatter. At startup OpenClaw scans the eligible skill directories and injects a compressed description of each skill into its system prompt, so the agent knows what it can do and invokes a skill when a request matches.

  1. 1

    Find the skill in the registry

    openclaw skills search database-manager

    ClawHub is the public registry for OpenClaw skills. Searching first gives you the exact owner-qualified reference, which is what the install command needs. Omit the query to browse the default feed.

  2. 2

    Check what it does and who published it

    openclaw skills verify @<owner>/database-manager

    verify prints ClawHub's verification envelope, including its scan decision and, when available, a commit-pinned source URL. Add --card to read the generated Skill Card instead. Substitute the owner handle returned by the search above.

  3. 3

    Install it

    openclaw skills install @<owner>/database-manager

    Native ClawHub skills use an @owner/slug reference. By default this installs into the active workspace skills/ directory; add --global to install into the shared managed directory instead. You can also install from Git with git:owner/repo, or from a local folder with ./path.

  4. 4

    Confirm the agent can see it

    openclaw skills check

    check reports which ready skills are actually visible to the agent's prompt surface, which is the quickest way to catch a skill that installed but did not load.

Commands follow the official OpenClaw documentation. Placeholders such as <owner> are filled in by the search step, because registry references are publisher-scoped.

How OpenClaw screens skills

Since February 2026 ClawHub screens submitted skills with VirusTotal: each bundle is hashed and looked up, new bundles are scanned with Code Insight, and results drive an approve, warn or block decision with daily re-scanning. This materially reduces supply-chain risk but does not eliminate it, and independent research has found that different scanners frequently disagree about the same skill. Read the SKILL.md of anything you install, especially if it requests shell access or credentials.
