monte-carlo-storage-cost-analysis
Analyze a warehouse for stale, unused, or redundant tables via the analyze_storage_costs MCP tool. Classifies waste patterns and table categories, computes safety tiers, and handles category drill-downs and lineage follow-ups.
Why this skill is useful
Integrates with the Monte Carlo MCP tool to perform specific storage cost analyses that the AI wouldn't generate on its own.

Bundled upstream support Supporting files are included at skill-relative paths. See UPSTREAM-NOTICE.md for their pinned sources, licenses, hashes, and import changes. Monte Carlo Storage Cost Analysis Skill This skill analyzes a data warehouse for stale tables that can be removed to reduce storage costs. It delegates classification, safety scoring, and formatting to the analyzestoragecosts MCP tool, then presents the pre-formatted result verbatim and handles follow-up questions (category drill-downs, lineage checks). Monte Carlo tool routing (required): Always call Monte Carlo MCP tools through this plugin's bundled server, whose fully-qualified tool names are mcppluginmc-agent-toolkitmonte-carlo-mcp<tool> (e.g. mcppluginmc-agent-toolkitmonte-carlo-mcpgetalerts). Bare tool names used in this skill (getalerts, search, gettable, …) refer to that bundled server. If the session also has a separately-configured monte-carlo-mcp server, do not route to it — it may point at a different endpoint or credentials. Reference file (use the Read tool to access it): Output contract and category keywords: references/output-structure.md When to activate this skill Activate when the user: Asks about storage costs, waste, or cleanup opportunities Wants to find unused, unread, or stale tables Asks "which tables can I drop?" or "what's costing us money?" Mentions storage optimization, cost reduction, or warehouse cleanup Wants to identify zombie tables, dead-end pipelines, or temporary/archive tables When NOT to activate this skill Do not activate when the user is: Just querying data or exploring table contents Creating or modifying monitors (use the monitoring-advisor skill) Investigating data quality incidents (use the prevent skill) Looking at pipeline performance or query cost (use the performance-diagnosis skill) Prerequisites The following MCP tools must be available (connect to Monte Carlo's MCP server): analyzestoragecosts -- runs the full analysis pipeline and returns pre-format …
