show_locks

Read-only

List active sessions + blocking locks. Uses the dialect's own system view — pg_stat_activity on postgres, information_schema.processlist on mysql, sys.dm_exec_requests joined with sys.dm_tran_locks on mssql. No dialect arg needed — inferred from the connection. Required privileges (per dialect): postgres — pg_read_all_stats role membership (or be the role that owns the queries; otherwise you only see your own session); mysql — PROCESS privilege; mssql — VIEW SERVER STATE. If the role lacks the privilege the tool returns a clean Query blocked by security policy error rather than partial data — grant the role above and retry. RDS/Aurora/Azure managed PostgreSQL: pg_read_all_stats is grantable but not on by default. [BUILD tier]

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
connectionNoTarget connection name from this tenant's inventory. Call `list_connections` to see every name + dialect, then match semantically to the user's intent (e.g. 'analytics' → a connection named `*-analytics-*`; 'prod' → a connection with `prod-` prefix). If the user didn't specify, use the tenant's default (first added). Do not invent names — resolve from `list_connections` output.

  5. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description goes well beyond the readOnlyHint annotation by detailing exactly which system views are used, the required privileges per database, and the clean security-policy error returned when privileges are missing rather than partial data. It also notes a managed-PostgreSQL caveat, which is valuable behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is long but every substantive detail earns its place: purpose, dialect-specific views, privileges, error behavior, and a managed-platform caveat. It is front-loaded with the core function and uses structured lists. Minor noise like '[BUILD tier]' and the exact error string could be trimmed, but overall it is efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the cross-dialect complexity paid, the description covers everything an agent needs to invoke the tool correctly: what it lists, how dialect is determined, required privileges, failure behavior, and a deployment-specific caveat. The output schema covers return-value expectations, so no additional return description is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The single parameter is already thoroughly documented in the schema, including how to resolve the connection name. The tool description adds meaning by clarifying that no dialect argument is needed and that the dialect is inferred from the connection, which directly helps an agent correctly invoke the tool.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'List active sessions + blocking locks.' It further disambiguates from generic SQL/query tools by naming the exact dialect-specific system views it consults, so an agent can clearly tell what this tool is for.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear operational guidance: no dialect argument is needed, the dialect is inferred from the connection, and required privileges per dialect are spelled out with a retry instruction on failure. It does not explicitly name alternative sibling tools or state when not to use this tool, but the context is strong enough to guide selection.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
