# Install sqlcmd Microsoft SQL Server command-line interface. Version 1.10.0 via Homebrew; verified 2026-04-10. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:sqlcmd ``` ## Agent safety answer sqlcmd sends SQL to Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL targets. - **Credential access:** Reads database passwords, connection strings, tokens, and environment credentials. - **Remote mutation:** Can create, alter, drop, import, and export database state. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can dump or load data artifacts containing sensitive records. - **Recommended control:** Gate write SQL, dumps, imports, and credential-bearing connection strings. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow safe metadata queries; require approval for writes, exports, and secret use.
