Adds a SQL Server connector backed by pymssql/FreeTDS, including connection UI support, schema and key discovery, read-only intent, and query timeouts. Semantic profiling and bounded SQL probes now use T-SQL row caps.
The connector requires TLS and validates server certificates against the system CA store and configured host. freetds.conf is installed and selected in the Docker image. pymssql query operations are serialized around its process-global timeout and reset to uncapped mode after each operation. Results use positional rows, and foreign keys are read by system-catalog column IDs, including references to standalone unique indexes.
Validation
161 focused backend tests passed across connector, semantic layer, probes, LLM configuration, and vector configuration.
uv run ruff check auto_ontology/ and uv run ruff format --check auto_ontology/ passed.
Backend OpenAPI generation passed with no spec diff.
Docker image build passed; verified the image contains pymssql and the configured FreeTDS CA/hostname checks.
The full local backend suite was attempted; on Windows it stops on an existing SQLite temporary-path issue that adds an extra leading slash to sqlite:///C:\....
Remaining validation
A live SQL Server TLS handshake was not run. The server must present a certificate trusted by the image's system CA store and valid for the configured host; IP connections need a matching IP SAN or should use the certificate DNS name.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added Microsoft SQL Server as a supported database connection, with SQL Server-compatible query limits and database profiling.
Added an option to select an OpenAI-compatible adapter for function calling with compatible models and endpoints.
Embedding dimensions can be configured through an environment variable, with a default of 2048.
Documentation
Documented SQL Server connection settings, security, and defaults, along with LLM adapter and embedding dimension options.
Implement an mssql/pymssql connector with schema, view, key, timeout, and
read-only connection support, then expose it through the connection UI and
registry. Make semantic profiling, FK joins, and bounded text-to-SQL probes
render SQL Server TOP syntax, and allow the pgvector dimension to follow the
configured embedding model.
Constraint: SQL Server authentication must work in the Linux Compose image
without requiring a native Windows ODBC driver
Constraint: Existing non-T-SQL connectors must preserve their current LIMIT behavior
Rejected: pyodbc-only connector | requires a platform-specific ODBC driver in the image
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS aligned with the selected embedding model before recreating vector tables
Tested: 147 focused backend tests; Ruff check and format; OpenAPI generation; frontend lint and production build
Not-tested: Full backend suite is blocked on an existing Windows SQLite temp-path failure; repository-wide frontend Prettier check reports pre-existing formatting drift in 429 files
This PR adds a SQL Server connector and T-SQL row limits for probes and profiling. It adds configurable OpenAI-compatible client selection and PostgreSQL vector dimensions. It also sets LF line endings for shell scripts and Dockerfile.
The connection factory, registry, and frontend add SQL Server connection support. The project adds pymssql and FreeTDS TLS configuration. The documentation describes SQL Server connection settings.
Probe execution and semantic profiling use T-SQL row limits. Other dialects retain LIMIT behavior. Tests cover query conversion, row-cap enforcement, and generated T-SQL.
LLM client selection
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Client and structured-output selection .env.example, auto_ontology/utils/llm_invoke.py, auto_ontology/utils/tests/test_llm_invoke.py
The example environment file sets LLM_CLIENT to nvidia. Client selection and structured-output options now account for the openai setting, with tests for configured and default behavior.
The example environment file documents EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS. PostgresVDB uses this setting when no vector_size argument is provided. A test checks the configured value.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 46c8c
The new database path relies on the configured login’s permissions to prevent writes. Its shared execution lock also allows one stalled SQL Server source to block unrelated SQL Server connections in the same process.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: The new connector requests read-only intent but forwards SQL unchanged with autocommit enabled. Outside ProbeExecutor, the inspected execution path does not establish a deterministic write-prevention boundary: catalog validation recognizes referenced tables, while normal execution forwards the resulting SQL to the connector. If the configured SQL Server login has mutation privileges, generated SQL could exercise those privileges and commit changes. The query-policy weakness predates this PR, but SQL Server assets become newly reachable through it; deployed login grants and complete parser behavior remain unresolved.
Medium · reliability · observed: Every SQL Server operation holds one process-wide lock across connection setup, execution, fetching, and cleanup. Initialization ping and metadata queries use an uncapped query timeout. A stalled source can therefore hold the lock indefinitely and prevent operations against other SQL Server sources in that process from reaching their own timeout setup. The 15-second login timeout and capped chat or profiling queries do not bound this lock wait. This introduces a cross-source failure-containment weakness, although the lock correctly prevents concurrent corruption of global driver timeout state.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — Potential query side effects are bounded by the configured SQL login’s effective privileges, not by read-only intent alone. Separately, the global operation lock couples availability across every MSSQLDatabase instance in one process; other connector types do not acquire this lock in the inspected path. Deployed grants and process topology were not supplied.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A user able to influence generated SQL could potentially exercise a write-capable SQL Server login through normal execution. The inspected catalog validator is not established as a read-only security gate, and intent validation can allow execution after its own failure. ProbeExecutor’s explicit mutation rejection is important counterevidence, but applies to the separate probe path. This is a conditional architecture concern, not a reproduced exploit or a supplied retained finding.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Configured destination and credentials cross into a native database client. The Docker path supplies explicit certificate trust and hostname-checking settings alongside required encryption, which counters an encryption-only design concern. Documentation specifies connection:manage for connection creation and testing, but the effective authorization binding was not verified in this pass.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The shared lock protects process-global timeout ownership, but constructor ping runs without a query cap while holding that lock. A stalled post-login response can therefore prevent unrelated SQL Server operations from progressing, even when those callers request statement timeouts.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Make database-enforced least-privilege read access an explicit deployment requirement, and apply a consistent deterministic read-only statement policy to normal generated-query execution rather than relying on intent validation.
proposed — Bound initialization, metadata operations, and queue waiting, or isolate the driver’s global state in independently recoverable workers. Preserve timeout-state serialization rather than removing the lock without replacement.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "Add Microsoft SQL Server connector" states the main change. The changeset adds a native MSSQL connector (pymssql-backed connector, registry mapping, UI types and fields, docs, dependency). The title is concise, imperative, and matches the repository's commit style. It contains no bare ticket ID and no WIP marker.
Full details: Tests For Backend Behaviour Changes
Explanation
The PR changes backend behaviour under auto_ontology/, and it adds or updates tests for those changes. Evidence: - Behaviour changes include the new auto_ontology/connectors/mssql.py connector, the _ensure_limit row-cap logic in auto_ontology/retrieval/text_to_sql/db_probe/executor.py, and the get_llm_client / temperature logic in auto_ontology/utils/llm_invoke.py. - Tests were added or updated under auto_ontology/tests/. auto_ontology/tests/test_probe_executor.py gained 56 lines in the last commit range. The diff stat for the PR's commits also lists auto_ontology/connectors/tests/test_mssql.py, auto_ontology/utils/tests/test_llm_invoke.py, and the semantic and VDB test modules. - The PR description reports 161 focused backend tests passing. The check's failure condition is not met, so the verdict is PASS. The auto_ontology/tests location is satisfied by test_probe_executor.py. The other test changes sit in sibling auto_ontology/*/tests directories, which also supports the check's intent. I did not run the tests. The sandbox does not support building or running the project.
Full details: Migration Accompanies Schema Change
Explanation
The check requires an Alembic revision in the same PR when auto_ontology/dal/schema.py changes, unless the edit touches only comments or docstrings. Evidence: - The PR diff against origin/main (merge-base fc43a82) modifies auto_ontology/dal/schema.py. The edit is not comment-only. It adds the Float import, new catalog_column columns (distinct_values as Text, distinct_ratio as Float), new term_family and term__term_family tables, and their all exports. - Three Alembic revisions are added in the same PR (status A): alembic/versions/7d864cacef9c_add_term_families.py, 84dd4f50dbba_add_catalog_column_distinct_ratio.py, and caee572fa81c_add_catalog_column_distinct_values.py. Their names correspond to the schema additions. The required revision is present in the PR, so the condition is satisfied. I did not inspect the revision bodies for column-level correctness. That is outside this check's criterion.

Review comments at @auto_ontology/connectors/mssql.py:
- Around line 211-215: Update the foreign-key discovery query used by get_fks()
so it does not require a referenced key-constraint row from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE; use sys.foreign_key_columns and the
corresponding table, schema, and column metadata to identify both sides by their
actual column IDs. Add a regression case verifying that get_fks() discovers a
foreign key referencing a standalone unique index.
- Line 101: Update the MSSQL connector’s cursor creation to use positional rows
instead of dictionary rows, while retaining the existing column list from
cursor.description. Add regression tests confirming unnamed expression columns
and duplicate column names both preserve their result values.
- Line 83: Update the MSSQL connection timeout handling so statement caps are
isolated per operation and an uncapped query cannot inherit a prior cap. The
current timeout argument reaches pymssql’s process-wide dbsettime behavior;
establish and use a supported per-connection timeout mechanism or process
isolation, without relying on closing connections or instance locks alone.
- Line 85: Update the pymssql.connect call to explicitly require transport
encryption for every connection, while preserving the existing kwargs and
connection behavior.
- Line 85: Update the MSSQLDatabase._connect connection setup so the effective
FreeTDS configuration uses a trusted CA bundle and validates the server
hostname; first verify the deployed configuration, including any FREETDSCONF
path, and add the settings there if they are missing. Keep the connection’s
existing argument handling unchanged.
Review comments at @auto_ontology/retrieval/text_to_sql/db_probe/executor.py:
- Line 80: Update the limit handling around expression.args in the SQL probe
executor so max_rows enforces a hard bound even when a query already has TOP or
another limit. Clamp ordinary limits to max_rows, and ensure limits with PERCENT
or WITH TIES cannot exceed the cap by applying a hard outer cap or rejecting
them; add regression tests for these cases.
- Around line 83-84: Update the row-cap generation exception handling in run()
to return a structured probe failure instead of returning the original uncapped
SQL; keep the failure within run()’s non-raising error path.
Review comments at @auto_ontology/utils/llm_invoke.py:
- Line 235: Update get_llm_client’s ChatOpenAI construction in the
_use_openai_client branch to forward the requested temperature for compatible
models, while omitting it only for models that reject the parameter. Add a
constructor-argument test covering temperature forwarding and the rejection
case.

Require encrypted SQL Server sessions with trusted certificate and hostname
validation. Serialize pymssql operations around its process-wide query timeout,
reset the timeout after each call, retain positional result values, and discover
foreign keys by actual system-catalog column IDs. Make SQL Server probes clamp
existing row caps or fail closed when the cap cannot be guaranteed, and preserve
compatible-model temperature settings.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Exclude Claude Opus 4.7+ and Sonnet 5 from temperature forwarding.
The guard at llm_invoke.py:254-255 adds temperature for every model whose name does not start with gpt-5, o1, o3, or o4. aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8 is not excluded, so the factory's default temperature=0.0 is sent on this route. Anthropic returns a 400 error for non-default temperature on Claude Opus 4.7 and later, including Opus 4.8, and on Sonnet 5. A gateway that forwards this parameter can fail these requests.
Extend _openai_model_accepts_temperature to return False for these Claude families, or otherwise omit temperature for them. Keep forwarding for compatible models, as the constructor path already does.

Replying to the CodeRabbit review (review 5903394414): all eight findings have been addressed in commit 46c8cbb.
SQL Server connections now require TLS and validate the server certificate against the system CA store and configured hostname via the packaged FreeTDS configuration.
pymssql operations are serialized around its process-global timeout; every operation explicitly sets its timeout and resets it afterward.
Query results use positional rows, preserving unnamed and duplicate column names.
Foreign keys are discovered from sys.foreign_key_columns using actual object/column IDs, including references to standalone unique indexes.
T-SQL probe limits are clamped to max_rows; PERCENT/WITH TIES are rejected, and SQLGlot failures return a structured error without executing uncapped SQL.
OpenAI-compatible clients forward temperature except for reasoning model families that reject it.
Validation: 161 relevant backend tests passed; Ruff check/format, OpenAPI generation, targeted frontend Prettier, Docker image build, and FreeTDS runtime configuration checks passed. A live SQL Server TLS handshake has not been run. GitHub Actions remain action_required pending approval of fork workflows.
