Analyze SQL Server instance and database configuration drift against proven DBA best practices. Applies 38 checks (B1–B38) across seven categories: parallelism tuning (MAXDOP, Cost Threshold for Parallelism, Optimize for Ad Hoc Workloads), memory configuration (Max Server Memory, Lock Pages in Memory), database-level settings (auto-shrink, auto-close, compatibility level, RCSI, page verification, statistics, Trustworthy, cross-DB chaining), file and storage configuration…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# SQL Server Database Configuration Review Skill ## Purpose Detect instance and database configuration drift that degrades performance, causes instability, or creates security exposure. Applies 38 checks (B1–B38) across seven 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) …

How to install
mdr add vanterx/mssql-performance-skills/sqldbconfig-review@sha256:1b88b6188306b484The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.4b8976e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
