SAC Database Inspector helps administrators understand what is using the WordPress database before deciding whether maintenance is appropriate.

It is inspection-first: no background cleanup, “clean everything” action, telemetry, paid feature, or automatic external request is included.

Database diagnostics

Runtime, storage, and maintenance health categories
Deterministic and explainable health penalty score
Database and table sizes when the host permits access
Graceful fallback when information_schema is restricted
Object-cache status and bounded maintenance counts

Ownership and footprints

Conservative plugin option, metadata, transient, and custom-table estimates
Active, inactive, not-installed, WordPress core, theme, and unknown owner states
Explicit ownership confidence and evidence
Inactive installed plugins are never treated as missing

Autoload and ghost data

Paginated, searchable, size-sorted autoload inspector
Serialized, protected, owner, status, confidence, and size indicators
Capped option previews with centralized sensitive-name redaction
Orphan metadata, expired transient, missing-plugin option/table, and stale cron findings
Heuristic findings are read-only and never automatically deleted

Controlled maintenance and rollback

Capability, nonce, target, read-only-mode, and explicit-confirmation checks
At most 100 records changed per request
Lightweight local safety snapshots before supported changes
Restoration for options, autoload state, and orphan metadata
Protected WordPress options cannot have autoload changed

Reports and optional AI

Redacted JSON, CSV, and HTML exports from one normalized report
Optional WordPress 7.0 AI Client explanations when a text provider is configured
Provider-neutral integration with no SAC API-key settings
AI receives capped metadata, not raw option values or database credentials
AI cannot run SQL, clean data, change options, or restore snapshots
All deterministic features work without AI

Privacy and external services

SAC has no telemetry or tracking. Database inspection and exports are local.

If an administrator explicitly requests an AI explanation, SAC passes a capped and redacted metadata-only diagnostic context to the provider selected through WordPress Settings Connectors. The external service, data handling, and terms depend on the connector/provider configured by the site owner. SAC does not store provider credentials and does not send raw option values, database credentials, WordPress salts, private keys, or authentication tokens.
