arangodb-schema-analyzer 0.10.0

Agentic schema analyzer for ArangoDB: conceptual model + conceptual-to-physical mapping for transpilers.

arangodb-schema-analyzer

Standalone Python library that analyzes an ArangoDB database's physical schema and produces:

• a conceptual schema (entities, relationships, properties)
• a conceptual→physical mapping suitable for transpilers (Cypher, SPARQL, future)
• metadata (confidence, timestamp, analyzed collection counts, detected patterns, per-entity tenant scope, deployment-style sharding profile, named-graph membership)

Analysis covers the whole database by default and labels named-graph membership (metadata.graphMembership + per-entry graphs); pass graph_scope / analysisOptions.graphScope to restrict analysis to a single named graph.

Current release: see CHANGELOG.md. The version is the single source of truth in pyproject.toml.

Install

From source (this repo):

python -m pip install -e .

Optional LLM provider extras:

python -m pip install -e ".[openai]"
python -m pip install -e ".[anthropic]"
python -m pip install -e ".[openrouter]"

OpenRouter actually requires no extra SDK (uses stdlib urllib); the [openrouter] extra exists as a documentation marker only and pulls in nothing.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) — optional server wrapping the v1 JSON tool contract:

python -m pip install -e ".[mcp]"
arangodb-schema-analyzer-mcp                                   # stdio (local IDE)
arangodb-schema-analyzer-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000        # remote
arangodb-schema-analyzer-mcp --transport streamable-http --port 8000           # remote

Exposes both generic tools (arangodb_schema_analyzer_run / _run_json) and typed per-operation tools (schema_analyzer_snapshot|analyze|export|docs|owl).

Remote transports are security-gated. Set SCHEMA_ANALYZER_MCP_TOKEN and every HTTP request must send Authorization: Bearer <token> (constant-time checked; missing/invalid → 401 UNAUTHENTICATED). If unset, the server still starts but logs a loud warning — never expose an unauthenticated remote server. The run_tool trust boundary (SCHEMA_ANALYZER_ALLOWED_HOSTS / SCHEMA_ANALYZER_CACHE_ROOT) is enforced for every transport. Flags fall back to SCHEMA_ANALYZER_MCP_TRANSPORT / _HOST / _PORT.

Development extras (pytest, ruff, mypy, etc.):

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

If you don't install a provider SDK (or you don't provide an API key), analysis degrades gracefully to deterministic baseline inference.

Usage

from arango import ArangoClient

from schema_analyzer import AgenticSchemaAnalyzer

client = ArangoClient(hosts="http://localhost:8529")
db = client.db("mydb", username="root", password="openSesame")

analyzer = AgenticSchemaAnalyzer(
    llm_provider="openai",  # or "anthropic" or "openrouter"
    api_key=None,           # e.g. os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    cache={"type": "filesystem", "directory": ".schema-analyzer-cache"},
)

analysis = analyzer.analyze_physical_schema(
    db,
    timeout_ms=60_000,
    sample_limit_per_collection=5,
)

print(analysis.metadata.confidence)

Tool usage (CLI)

This project can be called as a non-interactive tool (stdin JSON → stdout JSON) using the v1 contract under docs/tool-contract/v1/.

Install (editable):

python -m pip install -e .

Example (analyze) using the provided request example:

cat docs/tool-contract/v1/examples/request.analyze.json | arangodb-schema-analyzer --pretty

CLI options

arangodb-schema-analyzer [--request FILE] [--out FILE] [--pretty] [-v|--verbose]

• --request FILE — path to request JSON (default: read from stdin)
• --out FILE — write response JSON to file (default: stdout)
• --pretty — pretty-print JSON output
• -v / --verbose — enable verbose logging

Convenience subcommands

Point at a database and emit a single artifact directly (no hand-written request JSON):

arangodb-schema-analyzer snapshot --url http://localhost:8529 --database mydb --password ...
arangodb-schema-analyzer analyze  --database mydb --provider openai --api-key-env-var OPENAI_API_KEY
arangodb-schema-analyzer docs     --database mydb            # Markdown
arangodb-schema-analyzer owl      --database mydb --format jsonld

Connection args fall back to ARANGO_URL/ARANGO_DB/ARANGO_USER/ARANGO_PASS env vars. Prefer --password-env-var NAME over inline --password.

Evaluation CLI

Run analysis quality benchmarks against domain packs:

arangodb-schema-analyzer eval \
  --provider openai \
  --model gpt-4o-mini \
  --report eval_report.json

Pass --baseline <prior-report.json> to diff a new run against an earlier report (the baseline file is whatever a previous --report produced; no baseline ships in the repo).

Options: --url, --user, --password, --database, --domains, --sample-limit, --timeout-ms, --scale, --no-cleanup.

Domains included: healthcare, financial_fraud_detection, insurance, intelligence, network_asset_management.

Recent additions

See CHANGELOG.md for the full history. Highlights since 0.3.0:

• 0.10.0 — caller-supplied domainContext (override auto domain detection), incremental re-analysis (analyze_incremental + assess_change_state / refresh_statistics with stored shape/counts fingerprints and stats-only refresh, PRD §3.13.3), and field-name masking (analysisOptions.redaction.maskFieldNames) that tokenizes field names before LLM egress and round-trips them back to real names.
• 0.9.0 — named-graph awareness: whole-DB analysis now labels named-graph membership (metadata.graphMembership + per-entry graphs), with optional single-graph graphScope. Plus GraphRAG template detection (metadata.graphRag), gold-standard comparison + metric history (compute_gold_comparison, metric_snapshot/record_metrics), and Conceptual Schema Interchange (CSI) v1 (to_csi/from_csi + the csi op) for interop with a forward relational→graph tool. Includes a fix so named graph definitions parse correctly against live ArangoDB.
• 0.8.0 — confidence calibration from eval feedback (schema_analyzer/eval/calibration.py): reliability curve, ECE/MCE/Brier, an overconfidence gap, and a recommended_review_threshold, surfaced in the eval CLI and report-comparison drift section (eval reports are now {"runs", "calibration"}; legacy list baselines still diff). Plus MCP remote transports (sse / streamable-http with bearer-token auth, §3.11) and a hardened transpiler export contract — SPARQL datatypeProperties for literal triple patterns, and docs/transpiler-integration.md for transpiler authors (§6.4).
• 0.7.0 — metadata.qualityMetrics + metadata.healthScore (structural/grounding signals + 0–100 composite), element-level source provenance (llm/baseline/human), diff_analyses(), a SPARQL export target, a Cypher resolution adapter, and analysisOptions.redaction (stripSamples / maskFieldValues) for LLM-egress scrubbing. mypy is now a blocking CI gate and the coverage floor is 80%.
• 0.6.0 — Shard-family detection (physicalMapping.shardFamilies) groups conceptual entities that share an identical property set and a common name suffix (the per-source / per-repo collection-duplication pattern), so downstream consumers can emit UNION-aware guidance instead of silently picking one member. Plus multitenancy classification (metadata.multitenancy) layered on the sharding profile.
• 0.5.0 — Sharding-profile classification. Every analysis stamps metadata.shardingProfile with one of OneShard, DisjointSmartGraph, SmartGraph, SatelliteGraph, or Sharded, plus per-graph and per-collection evidence. Snapshot-only, no extra DB round trip.
• 0.4.0 — Tenant-scope annotations. Every entity in physicalMapping.entities[*] now carries a tenantScope block (tenant_root / tenant_scoped / global), with a per-run metadata.tenantScopeReport summary. Configurable via SCHEMA_ANALYZER_TENANT_* env vars.
• 0.3.0 — Cheap change-detection probes (fingerprint_physical_shape, fingerprint_physical_counts), statistics block on metadata.statistics, and a reconciliation step that backfills any collections the LLM omitted.

Configuration

Tunable defaults live in schema_analyzer/defaults.py (full list there). Selected parameters:

Parameter	Default	Description
MAX_REPAIR_ATTEMPTS	2	LLM repair loop iterations
LLM_TEMPERATURE	0.0	Sampling temperature
DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS	60000	Analysis timeout (ms)
DEFAULT_REVIEW_THRESHOLD	0.6	Confidence threshold for review_required
DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS	86400	Cache TTL (seconds)
TENANT_SCOPE_ROOT_NAMES	("Tenant",)	Entity names treated as tenant roots
TENANT_SCOPE_FIELD_REGEX	^tenant[_-]?(id|key)$	Denormalised tenant-reference field detector (regex pipe escaped as | to avoid breaking the markdown table)
MIN_TENANT_FIELD_COVERAGE_FRACTION	0.5	Threshold for discriminator_field multitenancy
MIN_SHARD_FAMILY_SIZE	2	Min members for a shard-family group

Notes

• Secrets: API keys are read from config/env; never persisted by this library.
• AQL fragments: helper methods return AQL text + bind variables; collection names are passed via bind parameters.
• Graceful degradation: without an LLM provider, the analyzer returns deterministic baseline inference with review_required=True.
