A SQL-based analyzer for historical transaction statistics in CockroachDB, a distributed SQL database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate retry storms, contention at transaction boundaries, commit-latency trends, and problematic transaction compositions.
Why use it?
It helps identify which groups of database statements are linked to retries, lock contention, or slow commits over a chosen time window.

About the project

CockroachDB Plugin for Cursor connects the Cursor coding agent to CockroachDB clusters for database work such as exploring schemas, writing SQL, debugging queries, and managing distributed clusters. It supports self-hosted and CockroachDB Cloud connections, and its catalogue add-ons provide database-focused agents, skills, rules, and instructions.

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

profiling-transaction-fingerprints 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 2mo 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.

Profiling Transaction Fingerprints

Analyzes historical transaction performance patterns using aggregated SQL statistics to identify high-retry transactions, contention patterns, and commit latency issues. Uses crdb_internal.transaction_statistics for time-windowed analysis of retry behavior, commit latency, and statement composition - entirely via SQL without requiring DB Console access.

Complement to profiling-statement-fingerprints: This skill analyzes transaction-level patterns (groups of statements with retry behavior); for statement-level optimization, see profiling-statement-fingerprints.

Complement to triaging-live-sql-activity: This skill analyzes historical transaction patterns; for immediate triage of currently active transactions, see triaging-live-sql-activity.

When to Use This Skill

  • Identify transactions with high retry counts
  • Analyze commit latency trends for transaction fingerprints
  • Find transactions with high contention at transaction boundary
  • Understand statement composition of problematic transactions
  • Investigate transaction retry storms or abort patterns
  • SQL-only historical transaction analysis without DB Console access

For immediate incident response: Use triaging-live-sql-activity to triage currently active transactions and cancel runaway work. For statement-level optimization: Use profiling-statement-fingerprints to analyze individual query patterns.

Prerequisites

  • SQL connection to CockroachDB cluster
  • VIEWACTIVITY or VIEWACTIVITYREDACTED cluster privilege for cluster-wide visibility
    • Same privilege requirements as profiling-statement-fingerprints
  • Understanding of transaction performance concepts
  • Transaction statistics collection enabled (default): sql.stats.automatic_collection.enabled = true

Check transaction stats collection:

SHOW CLUSTER SETTING sql.stats.automatic_collection.enabled;
-- Should return: true

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.
