ask-the-cube

ask-the-cube is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tghanchidnx/mdx-mcp. It costs 42 tokens per session (355 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A question-answering tool for OLAP cubes, which store business measurements that can be viewed across categories such as time or location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve verified metrics from a connected cube, show the query that produced the answer, and ask for clarification when needed.
Why use it?
It turns a business question into a database query, checks whether several generated queries agree, and avoids guessing when the question is unclear or the result is not trustworthy.

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

ask-the-cube 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.

What it actually says

ask-the-cube

Turn a business question into a verified answer from the cube, using the mdx-mcp tools.

Steps

  1. Ground first (once per cube). If you don't already have the cube's schema in context, call mdx_introspect and keep the measures / dimensions / hierarchies for reference.
  2. Ask. Call mdx_ask(question=<the user's question>). It generates several candidate MDX queries, executes them read-only, and returns a self-consistency verdict.
  3. Act on status — honestly:
    • answer → report the value, and show the mdx that produced it and the agreement.
    • clarify → the candidates disagreed → the question is ambiguous. Ask the user the ONE disambiguating question (which measure? which period/member? which entity?). Do not guess.
    • abstain → tell the user you couldn't get a trustworthy answer, and why. Never invent a number.
  4. Offer the query. When you answer, optionally offer mdx_explain(mdx) so the user sees what the query did.

Guardrails

  • Use only measure/dimension/member names returned by mdx_introspect — never fabricate them.
  • agreement is candidate agreement, not calibrated certainty — report it as such.
  • Everything is read-only.

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.
