What this topic covers
DE//AGENT currently lists 16 resources under plugin: 10 plugins, 6 tutorials. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.
What you can learn here
Documented learning objectives across these resources:
- Attribute warehouse/cluster spend with /cost-by-pipeline — via Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin
- Compute unit economics with /unit-cost — via Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin
- Guard cost-per-run regressions with /cost-guard — via Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin
- Read a table-health report before planning maintenance — via Check lakehouse table health with Lakehouse Guard
- Generate a compaction plan instead of running compaction ad hoc — via Check lakehouse table health with Lakehouse Guard
- Understand when the guard blocks maintenance actions — via Check lakehouse table health with Lakehouse Guard
- Inventory topics with /topic-info before touching lag — via Debug a Kafka stream with the Kafka Console plugin
- Triage per-partition lag and rebalance detection with /lag-triage — via Debug a Kafka stream with the Kafka Console plugin
10 more objectives live on the individual resource pages.
Where this fits in the learning roadmap
These resources map to stages: Reliability (3), Lakehouse (2), Streaming (2), Agentic Data Engineering (2), Data Processing (2), Warehousing (3), Data Quality (1), Observability (1). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.

How scores are computed: source quality score.
Where to start
Highest composite score first:
- Runbook Runner score 35.6 — beginner
- Attribute spend with the Cost Lens plugin score 34.15 — intermediate
- Check lakehouse table health with Lakehouse Guard score 34.15 — intermediate
Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.
Good fits
Start here if you're new: Runbook Runner, DE Data Toolkit.
Reach for these with production experience: Spark Lens, Kafka Console, Lakehouse Guard.
Cautions and limitations
Security-flagged entries: Runbook Runner (1 flag), DE Data Toolkit (2 flags), Contract Kit (2 flags), Spark Lens (2 flags), Lineage Graph (3 flags), Warehouse Explorer (3 flags), Kafka Console (3 flags), Lakehouse Guard (3 flags), dbt Workbench (4 flags), Cost Lens (5 flags). Flags mean the record declares capabilities like credential use or write access — read the security posture on each page before connecting.
