MongoDB Shell
Give the Sazabi agent the MongoDB Shell (mongosh) in its sandbox to query and inspect your MongoDB deployment.
About
This CLI connection makes the MongoDB Shell (mongosh) available in the Sazabi agent's sandbox. The agent can use it to query your MongoDB deployment. The tool is baked into the sandbox image; connecting it configures the connection for the already-installed CLI.
Prerequisites
- A Sazabi project.
- A MongoDB connection URI (
MONGODB_URI) — the full connection string for your MongoDB deployment, for examplemongodb+srv://user:password@cluster.mongodb.net/mydb.
Set up in the dashboard
Configure the sandbox in the dashboard under Settings > Sandbox CLIs.
Find MongoDB Shell in the catalog
In Settings > Sandbox CLIs, find MongoDB Shell under Browse sandbox CLIs and choose to connect it.
Provide credentials
Enter the required value: MONGODB_URI — the full connection URI for your MongoDB deployment. Save to store it securely; Sazabi injects it into the sandbox when the agent runs.
Set up with the CLI
You can also configure the MongoDB Shell CLI connection with the Sazabi CLI (installed and authenticated — see CLI reference).
sazabi sandbox-clis set --type mongosh --env MONGODB_URI=<your-connection-string>To validate the credentials without saving, run the same command with test in place of set (the test command also requires the --env flags).
Verify
Ask the agent, in a thread, to run the mongosh CLI (a read-only or status command) and confirm it returns real output. If the command is not found, the CLI connection may not be enabled; if it runs unauthenticated or cannot connect, recheck the credentials.
Troubleshooting
Command not found — Confirm the MongoDB Shell CLI connection is enabled for the project under Settings > Sandbox CLIs.
Authentication or connection fails — Recheck the credential/connection values under Settings > Sandbox CLIs.
