Atlas Scripts

mask

A reusable, named mask. Define columns (globs allowed) and a method once at the top level, then apply it via use = [mask.<name>] from any query or script.

mask "pii" {
  columns = ["ssn", "*email*"]
  method  = HASH
}

mask attributes

Name and description	Required	Value
char PARTIAL: replacement character (default *).	false	string
columns Output columns to mask, matched case-sensitively; an entry with */?/[...] is a glob (schema include/exclude style).	false	List of strings
keep PARTIAL: characters kept at each end (default 0).	false	int
keep_left PARTIAL: characters kept at the start (overrides keep).	false	int
keep_right PARTIAL: characters kept at the end (overrides keep).	false	int
match REPLACE: regular expression matched against the value.	false	string
method Masking method (REDACT default).	false	enum (REDACT, PARTIAL, HASH, REPLACE)
salt HASH: secret salt. With it the digest is a keyed HMAC-SHA256; without it a bare (unsalted) SHA256 digest, which is susceptible to dictionary attacks for low-entropy values. Stable salts yield comparable tokens; recommended for sensitive data.	false	string
token REDACT: replacement token (default ***).	false	string
with REPLACE: replacement for the matched substring.	false	string

script exec

Runs a sequence of condition, assert, check, exec, and query blocks as a program against the connected database. Blocks execute in their textual order; a failing assert/check/exec aborts the script (and rolls back when on_error = ROLLBACK), while an unmet condition stops it gracefully. A query binds its result for later steps as query.<name>.rows[*].<col>.

script.exec attributes

Name and description	Required	Value
description Free-form description; surfaced in audit logs.	false	string

script.exec blocks

script.assert

An assert runs inside the script's session and asserts a boolean SQL condition. A failing assertion aborts the script (and rolls back when tx.on_error = ROLLBACK).

assert "is_active" {
  sql  = "select status = 'active' from users where id = ?"
  args = [var.id]
}

sql must return exactly one row, one boolean (or 1/0) column. A truthy value passes; falsy or NULL fails.

  output = "1"
}

  args = [var.id]
}

sql must return exactly one row, one boolean (or 1/0) column. A truthy value lets the program continue; falsy or NULL stops it gracefully.

script.query blocks

script.query.mask

Redacts one or more columns of the query result before serialization. Select columns with columns and a method, or apply top-level named masks with use. At script level a mask applies to every query; a query's own mask wins (first match).

mask {
  columns = ["email", "phone*"]
  method  = REDACT
}
mask { use = [mask.pii] }

script.query.mask attributes

Name and description	Required	Value
char PARTIAL: replacement character (default *).	false	string
columns Output columns to mask, matched case-sensitively; an entry with */?/[...] is a glob (schema include/exclude style).	false	List of strings
keep PARTIAL: characters kept at each end (default 0).	false	int
keep_left PARTIAL: characters kept at the start (overrides keep).	false	int
keep_right PARTIAL: characters kept at the end (overrides keep).	false	int
match REPLACE: regular expression matched against the value.	false	string
method Masking method (REDACT default).	false	enum (REDACT, PARTIAL, HASH, REPLACE)
salt HASH: secret salt. With it the digest is a keyed HMAC-SHA256; without it a bare (unsalted) SHA256 digest, which is susceptible to dictionary attacks for low-entropy values. Stable salts yield comparable tokens; recommended for sensitive data.	false	string
token REDACT: replacement token (default ***).	false	string
use Top-level named masks to apply, e.g. [mask.pii].	false	List of object reference to mask
with REPLACE: replacement for the matched substring.	false	string

script.query.rows

The result columns, declared as typed columns (name = <type>). Atlas reads only these columns, by name, and exposes them as query.<name>.rows[*].<col>.
