query optimizer

query optimizer is an agent for Claude Code from khalilbenaz/MDAN. It costs 6 tokens per session (916 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mdan master, MIT.

An agent configuration for analysing database queries and improving how they run. It includes SQL tuning, execution-plan analysis, and detection of N+1 queries, where one request causes many smaller database requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing SQL, examining execution plans, tuning queries, and finding N+1 query problems.
Why use it?
It can help identify why database queries are slow or inefficient and suggest where the query or application access pattern needs attention.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Reviewing SQL, examining execution plans, tuning queries, and finding N+1 query problems.

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

query optimizer 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 23d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to mdan master — 81 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
