At a glance

Systematic database and table profiling for DBX Studio. An agent skill from Dbxstudio/dbx-studio.

  • Works in 3 steps: Schema Discovery → Table Profiling → Relationship Discovery
  • A user wants to understand their data
  • SKILL.md covers Exploration Workflow, Quality Scoring, Common Exploration Queries and Output Format
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Data Exploration Tool is an agent skill from Dbxstudio/dbx-studio. Systematic database and table profiling for DBX Studio. Use when a user wants to understand their data, explore schema structure, or profile a dataset.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis. The repository describes itself as: Free Open-source AI SQL client that helps developers and data teams explore databases using natural language. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A user wants to understand their data
  • Explore schema structure
  • Profile a dataset

Example prompts

  • “/data-exploration-tool”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Schema Discovery
  2. Table Profiling
  3. Relationship Discovery

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9592eb7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are sql).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Data Exploration Tool loads about 460 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~460

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Data Exploration — DBX Studio

Exploration Workflow

Phase 1: Schema Discovery

Start with read_schema to list all tables, then describe_table for each table of interest.

1. read_schema(schema_name: "public")
2. describe_table(table_name: "<each table>")
3. get_table_stats(table_name: "<table>")
Phase 2: Table Profiling

For each table, gather:

  • Row count
  • Column names and types
  • Sample data via get_table_data
  • Null counts and distributions
Phase 3: Relationship Discovery

Look for foreign key patterns:

  • Columns named *_id linking to other tables
  • Common join patterns: users.id → orders.user_id

Quality Scoring

Common Exploration Queries

Row count
sql
SELECT COUNT(*) AS row_count FROM "public"."table_name";
Column null rates
sql
SELECT
  COUNT(*) AS total,
  COUNT(column_name) AS non_null,
  ROUND(100.0 * COUNT(column_name) / COUNT(*), 2) AS pct_filled
FROM "public"."table_name";
Distinct values
sql
SELECT column_name, COUNT(*) AS frequency
FROM "public"."table_name"
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 DESC
LIMIT 20;
Date range
sql
SELECT MIN(created_at), MAX(created_at) FROM "public"."table_name";

Output Format

After exploration, present a structured summary:

  • Tables: list with row counts
  • Key relationships: how tables connect
  • Data quality flags: any columns with high null rates
  • Suggested next queries: what the user might want to know next
