database-query-optimization-agent

database-query-optimization-agent is an agent for Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 0 tokens per session (215 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper for finding why database queries are slow and suggesting changes to make them run faster. It examines query plans, which show how a database carries out a query.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze slow queries, choose indexes, rewrite queries, find repeated N+1 database requests, improve batch operations, and compare performance before and after changes.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when investigating slow queries, missing indexes, unnecessary data scans, or inefficient sorting and batching.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

database-query-optimization-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Query Optimization Agent

Invocation

/query-opt-agent or @query-opt-agent

Scope

Analyzes and optimizes database queries for maximum performance.

Expertise

  • EXPLAIN ANALYZE interpretation
  • Index selection and creation
  • Query rewriting for performance
  • N+1 query detection and resolution
  • Connection pooling and caching

When to Use

  • Slow query investigation
  • Index optimization
  • Query plan analysis
  • Batch operation optimization
  • Database performance tuning

Process

  1. Identify slow queries (logs, monitoring)
  2. Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE
  3. Identify bottlenecks (seq scans, missing indexes, large sorts)
  4. Propose optimizations
  5. Benchmark before and after

Output Format

  • Query Analysis: EXPLAIN output interpretation
  • Issues: Identified performance problems
  • Optimized Query: Rewritten query
  • Indexes: New indexes to create
  • Benchmarks: Before/after performance numbers
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

database-query-optimization-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository girijashankarj/cursor-handbook (30 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 215 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
