An open-source, read-only dependency mapper for inherited Windows and SQL Server systems.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
Teams inheriting undocumented SQL Server environments
Worth noticing
Each dependency is paired with a catalog row, source-code line, or file location; coverage varies by tested fixture.

Field notes

The homepage describes a Python tool that inventories SQL Server and Windows dependencies without writing to the target. It checks catalog views, Agent jobs, linked servers, Task Scheduler, scripts, and office/database files, then emits graph.json with citations. A separate PDF report is described as planned at $225; the project says its repository includes a coverage table distinguishing live tests from fixtures.
