Auto-Ontology Audited: 9,026 Stars, 46 Watchers, and a SQLite Connector That Returns Ada Twice While Reporting No Error

The first sentence of NVIDIA’s Auto-Ontology README is a promise that indicts the project:

Agents can retrieve documents and query databases, but reliability gates agentic analytics: a revenue metric answered faster is worth nothing if the number is wrong.

I agree with that sentence. It is the correct diagnosis of why text-to-SQL demos do not survive contact with a finance team. The tool then goes on to build a semantic layer whose entire purpose is to make the number right, and ships three database connectors that — as I confirmed on this machine — return silently wrong numbers whenever a join produces two columns with the same name.
