  "summary": "Static review of Databricks cost and billing: evidence from system.billing.usage and system.billing.list_prices, cost attribution via custom tags with coverage confidence reporting (tagged vs untagged spend), DBU uptime semantics and per-workload charging, serverless versus classic cost comparison validity, budgets and their non-enforcing nature, compute policies and idle/auto-stop settings as cost controls, instance-pool cost floors, and identifying expensive workloads. Joins and coverage gaps are reported explicitly, never papered over.",

  "security_notes": "Static analysis of billing data only — reads system.billing.usage, system.billing.list_prices, system.compute.clusters, system.compute.node_timeline, system.lakeflow.jobs, and cluster policies; never executes any query, never invokes Databricks APIs, and never requests workspace URLs, credentials, tokens, storage keys, or metastore identifiers. Cost analysis is only as good as the custom-tag coverage; the agent reports attribution confidence explicitly (e.g., '85% of spend is tagged, 15% is untagged and cannot be attributed'). No hidden caveats—all joins, attribution gaps, and inference limitations are named in the output.",
