A review procedure for checking SQL Server and database settings against database-administrator best practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing parallelism, memory, database options, file growth, storage, temporary databases, and exposed SQL Server features using configuration query results.
Why use it?
It finds configuration differences that may hurt performance, cause instability, or weaken security.

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

sqldbconfig-review 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 11d 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.

SQL Server Database Configuration Review Skill

Purpose

Detect instance and database configuration drift that degrades performance, causes instability, or creates security exposure. Applies 29 checks (B1–B29) across five categories:

  • B1–B5 — Parallelism: MAXDOP alignment to NUMA topology, Cost Threshold for Parallelism at default, Optimize for Ad Hoc Workloads, query governor
  • B6–B9 — Memory: Max Server Memory unconfigured, Min Server Memory, Lock Pages in Memory model, AWE (legacy 32-bit setting)
  • B10–B18 — Database settings: auto-shrink, auto-close, compatibility level, RCSI, page verification, auto-statistics, Trustworthy, cross-DB chaining
  • B19–B23 — File and storage: excessive VLF count, percent auto-growth on log and data files, Instant File Initialization, TempDB file count vs. scheduler count
  • B24–B29 — Surface area: CLR, OLE Automation Procedures, Ad Hoc Distributed Queries, instance-level cross-DB chaining, remote admin connections, service-SID sysadmin membership (broken hardening)

Input

Accept any of:

  • Output from EXEC sp_configure (all rows, or filtered to specific options)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.configurations (equivalent to sp_configure)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.databases (relevant columns — see capture query below)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.master_files (file growth columns)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info (CPU, NUMA, scheduler counts)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.dm_db_log_info(db_id) or DBCC LOGINFO (VLF count)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.dm_server_services (Instant File Initialization status)
  • Output from SELECT … FROM sys.server_principals (service-SID login presence and sysadmin membership — see capture query below)
  • Combined paste of two or more of the above — apply all applicable checks
  • A natural language description of symptoms ("auto-shrink keeps firing", "MAXDOP is 0 on a 4-NUMA server", "TempDB has 2 files on a 16-core box")

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.
