Retrieve detailed technical column metadata for Teradata tables and views, including exact Teradata type codes, character sets (LATIN/UNICODE), decimal precision, scale, nullability, and index classification. Use when the user needs precise Teradata-specific column information, not just basic column names and types. For a simple list of columns and types for a single object, use base_columnDescription instead. Supports bulk retrieval across many objects with payload and time budgets.

Resolution paths: Tables (T, O, Q) — DBC.ColumnsVX + DBC.IndicesVX. No HELP COLUMN. Views (V) — HELP COLUMN with derived-table wrapper, the only reliable mechanism for resolving view column types.

Uses the native TeradataConnection cursor pattern, consistent with all other tools in this module.

Technical capabilities:

• Exact Teradata type codes and their SQL type string equivalents

• Character set information (LATIN, UNICODE, etc.)

• Decimal precision and scale

• Detection of broken/invalid views

• Column-level metadata for all objects in a database at once

LARGE-SCALE USAGE GUIDANCE:

When retrieving metadata for many objects (e.g. all views in DBC), both the response payload and the execution time can exceed limits. Use these strategies to control both:

1. FILTER FIELDS: Pass only the columns you need via the fields parameter. View rows via HELP COLUMN return ~49 fields by default; table rows via DBC.ColumnsVX return fewer. Trimming to 6-8 fields can reduce payload by 80%+. Three computed fields (ColumnTypeString, IndexTypeString, CharSetString) are always included automatically. Example: fields='ColumnName,ColumnType,ColumnLength,CharType, UpperCase,Nullable,Indexed?,Primary?,Unique?'

2. EXCLUDE OBJECTS: Use exclude_objects to skip objects you do not need. Accepts SQL LIKE patterns (% wildcard) as a CSV. Applied before any metadata queries, so excluded objects consume zero time and zero payload. Example: exclude_objects='ResUsage%,%ResUsage%,Res%View'

3. INCREASE PARALLELISM: Set max_workers to 12-16 for large databases. Each worker gets its own Teradata session via conn.cursor(). Default is 8.

4. FILTER BY KIND: Use table_kind to limit to just the object types you need (e.g. 'V' for views only, 'T' for tables only).

5. PAYLOAD BUDGET: Use max_payload_kb (default 900) to set the maximum response payload size in kilobytes. When the accumulated result data approaches this limit, the tool stops collecting and returns what it has, plus a remaining_objects CSV in metadata listing the unprocessed objects. Pass that CSV straight into object_name on the next call for automatic continuation. This self-adapts to object sizes: small-column views fit more per call, large-column views page earlier.

6. TIME BUDGET: Use max_execution_seconds (default 180) to set the maximum wall-clock execution time. The tool monitors elapsed time as each object completes, and self-interrupts BEFORE the MCP transport timeout (typically 240s) kills the session without returning any data. When the time budget is reached, the tool returns all data collected so far plus remaining_objects for continuation — exactly the same pattern as payload budget. This is the key difference from an MCP timeout: a timeout returns NOTHING; a time budget returns EVERYTHING collected so far, plus a continuation token.

CONTINUATION PATTERN (automatic pagination): # Call 1 — starts processing, time or payload budget fills up result1 = base_columnMetadata(database_name='DBC', table_kind='V', ...) # metadata contains: remaining_objects='ViewX,ViewY,...'

# Call 2 — pass remaining_objects as object_name
result2 = base_columnMetadata(
    database_name='DBC',
    object_name='ViewX,ViewY,...',  # from result1 metadata
    ...
)
# Repeat until metadata has no remaining_objects key.

Typical call for a large database: base_columnMetadata( database_name='DBC', table_kind='V', exclude_objects='ResUsage%,%ResUsage%', fields='ColumnName,ColumnType,ColumnLength,CharType, UpperCase,Nullable,Indexed?,Primary?,Unique?', max_workers=16, max_payload_kb=900, max_execution_seconds=180 )

Arguments: conn - TeradataConnection (injected by MCP server) database_name - Name of the Teradata database to inspect object_name - Optional: specific object name, or a CSV of names. Also used for continuation: pass the remaining_objects value from a previous truncated call to resume. If omitted, all objects matching table_kind are processed. table_kind - Optional: CSV of TableKind codes to filter by. Examples: 'V' (views only), 'T,O' (tables + NoPI), 'T,V' (tables and views). Defaults to all qualifying object types (T, O, V, Q). Tables (T, O, Q) use DBC.ColumnsVX + DBC.IndicesVX. Views (V) use HELP COLUMN with a derived-table wrapper to force type resolution — this is the only reliable mechanism for view column types. Stored procedures (P, E), functions (A, F, R, B, S), and macros (M) are not supported. DBC.ColumnsVX does return parameter rows for these object types, but their parameter semantics (IN/OUT/INOUT, SPParameterType) are incompatible with the column metadata model this tool produces. Support is a planned future enhancement. max_workers - Optional: number of parallel threads for view resolution via HELP COLUMN. Default: 8. Table metadata is retrieved via DBC.ColumnsVX and DBC.IndicesVX within the same worker pool. fields - Optional: CSV of field names to include in the response. Reduces payload size significantly. Computed fields (ObjectName, ColumnTypeString, IndexTypeString, CharSetString) always included. exclude_objects - Optional: CSV of object name patterns to exclude. Uses SQL LIKE-style % wildcards. Applied before any database calls — excluded objects incur zero query cost. max_payload_kb - Optional: maximum response payload budget in KB. Default: 900. Set to 0 to disable. max_execution_seconds - Optional: maximum wall-clock execution time in seconds. Default: 180. Set to 0 to disable. *args - Positional bind parameters (reserved) **kwargs - Named bind parameters (reserved)

Returns: MCP-compliant response via create_response() containing a list of column metadata records with normalised keys and four computed string fields per column:

    ColumnTypeString      - Human-readable SQL type (e.g. "VARCHAR(200)
                            UNICODE", "DECIMAL(18,2)", "INTEGER")
    IndexTypeString       - Index classification: 'UPI', 'NUPI', 'USI',
                            'NUSI', or None if not indexed.
                            For tables (T, O, Q): sourced from
                            DBC.IndicesVX — composite index grouping
                            (IndexNumber + ColumnPosition) is fully
                            preserved.
                            For views (V): sourced from HELP COLUMN
                            flags — reports column participation only,
                            not composite index grouping. Query
                            DBC.IndicesVX against the base table for
                            full composite index detail.
    CharSetString         - Character set name: 'LATIN', 'UNICODE',
                            'KANJI1', 'GRAPHIC', 'KANJISJIS', or None.
    CaseSpecificityString - Case attribute: 'UPPERCASE', 'CASESPECIFIC',
                            'NOT CASESPECIFIC', or None if no explicit
                            case attribute is defined on the column.

When truncated, metadata will include:
    remaining_objects  - CSV of unprocessed object names
    truncated          - True
    truncation_reason  - 'time_budget_exceeded' or
                         'payload_budget_exceeded'
    elapsed_seconds    - Wall-clock time consumed (always present)

Execute a user-provided SQL query against Teradata and return the results. Use this tool ONLY when the user supplies an explicit SQL statement or a request that includes filter conditions (WHERE clause, aggregations, JOINs, etc.). Do NOT use for simply browsing or sampling rows from a table — use base_tablePreview for that. The sql parameter is required and must contain the full SQL text.

Arguments: sql - SQL text, with optional bind-parameter placeholders persist - Set to True to persist the results as a table and reuse it later. Recommended for large result sets. row_limit - Maximum rows to return (default 1000, ceiling 50000). Pass a higher value when you need more rows.

When the response metadata contains 'truncated: true', more rows exist beyond the limit. To get more data:

• Pass a higher row_limit (up to 50000) to retrieve more rows in the response.

• Use persist=true to write all rows to a volatile table and query it directly — this bypasses the row limit entirely and is the recommended approach for large result sets.

Returns: ResponseType: formatted response with query results + metadata (includes 'volatile_table' field in metadata if persist=True) (includes 'truncated' and 'row_limit' in metadata when results are capped)

Extract the DDL for a Teradata table, view, or stored procedure and SAVE it as a .sql file on disk. Use this tool ONLY when the user explicitly wants to export, write, download, or persist DDL to a file. Do NOT use simply to display or view DDL in the conversation — use base_tableDDL to display DDL without saving.

Arguments: database_name - Database name (e.g., 'MKTG_USR') table_name - Object name (e.g., 'SP_LOAD_VARIABLES_ARGUMENTARIO_IAG_FICHA_CLIENTE'). Accepts comma-separated values for bulk retrieval. object_type - Type of object: 'PROCEDURE', 'TABLE', 'VIEW' (default: 'PROCEDURE') output_dir - Directory where to save the DDL file (default: './ddls_extracted')

Returns: ResponseType: formatted response with file path, size, and metadata

Execute complete RAG workflow to answer user questions based on document context. This tool handles the entire RAG pipeline in a single step when a user query is tagged with /rag.

WORKFLOW STEPS (executed automatically):

1. Configuration setup using configurable values from rag_config.yml

2. Store user query with '/rag ' prefix stripping

3. Generate query embeddings using either BYOM (ONNXEmbeddings) or IVSM functions based on config

4. Perform semantic search against precomputed chunk embeddings

5. Return context chunks for answer generation

CONFIGURATION VALUES (from rag_config.yml):

• version: 'ivsm' or 'byom' to select embedding approach

• All database names, table names, and model settings are configurable

• Vector store metadata fields are dynamically detected

• Embedding parameters are configurable

• Default chunk retrieval count is configurable

• Default values are provided as fallback

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• Strips the '/rag ' prefix if present from user questions

• Creates query table if it does not exist (columns: id, txt, created_ts)

• BYOM approach: Uses mldb.ONNXEmbeddings UDF for tokenization and embedding

• IVSM approach: Uses ivsm.tokenizer_encode and ivsm.IVSM_score functions

• Both approaches store embeddings in configured output table

• Uses cosine similarity via TD_VECTORDISTANCE for semantic search

• Returns the top-k matching chunks from the configured vector store

• Each result includes chunk text, similarity score, and metadata fields

CRITICAL ANSWERING RULES:

• Answer ONLY using retrieved chunks - no external knowledge, speculation, or inference

• Quote source content directly without paraphrasing, summarizing, or rewriting

• If no relevant context found: "Not enough information found in the provided context"

• If partial context: "The available context does not fully answer the question"

• Include document/page references when available (e.g., "On page 2 of 'demo_policy.pdf'...")

• Execute entire workflow silently without showing function calls to user - only show final answer

LANGUAGE RESTRICTIONS:

• Do not say "According to the context" or "The context says" - just quote directly

• Do not say "It can be inferred that..." - no inference allowed

• Use exact or near-verbatim quotes only

• No paraphrasing, summarizing, or adding transitions between quotes

• Copy content precisely - no expansion or interpretation

BEHAVIORAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Execute all RAG workflow steps silently without showing tool calls to users

• Only display final answers based strictly on retrieved context chunks

• Do not use external knowledge or speculation - only quote retrieved content directly

• RAG mode only triggers with explicit /rag prefix - do not enter RAG mode implicitly

• Hide all tool execution steps from user

• Provide clean, direct response with only the answer based on retrieved chunks

• This is a complete end-to-end RAG workflow - no additional tools needed

EXECUTION: Run completely silently - user only sees their question and the final context-grounded answer.

Composite graph analysis — runs findRootObjects, connectedComponents, detectCycles, and bfsLevels in a single MCP call with ONE shared edge fetch.

This tool eliminates the scalability bottleneck of serial MCP round- trips by combining four graph analyses that would otherwise require four separate tool calls, each independently fetching the same edge set from Teradata.

Performance vs individual tools:

• 1 SQL round-trip instead of 4 (shared edge fetch)

• 1 MCP response instead of 4 (eliminates stdio serialisation overhead)

• Same algorithmic complexity (O(V+E) BFS, O(α·N) Union-Find, O(V+E) DFS)

• In-memory edge sharing: all analyses operate on the same Python list

Use this for:

• Full database migration readiness assessment

• Pre-migration cycle + root + wave analysis in one call

• Dashboard data population (all four analyses needed simultaneously)

• Any workflow that would otherwise call 3+ individual graph tools

Arguments: container_pattern - str: CSV LIKE patterns for container scope. Supports wildcards (%) and CSV format. Examples: '%SALES%', '%SALES%,%FINANCE%', 'PROD_%'

                  CRITICAL: STRING type, not array.
                  CORRECT: container_pattern="%SALES%,%FINANCE%"
                  WRONG:   container_pattern=["%SALES%", "%FINANCE%"]

exclude_objects - str: CSV LIKE patterns to exclude. Default: '' (no exclusions)

top_n_roots - int: Number of top root objects (by downstream dependent count) to include in BFS wave analysis. Default: 4

max_depth_down - int: Maximum downstream BFS hops from roots. Default: 10

max_depth_up - int: Maximum upstream BFS hops from roots. 0 = skip upstream analysis. Default: 0

edge_repository - str: Edge repository view/table conforming to the Graph Edge Contract (Src_Container_Name, Src_Object_Name, Src_Kind, Tgt_Container_Name, Tgt_Object_Name, Tgt_Kind columns). Call graph_edgeContractDDL to generate one. Required parameter — no default.

Returns: ResponseType: single response containing all four analyses:

{ "root_objects": { "objects": [...], "summary": {...} }, "components": { "node_details": [...], "summaries": [...], "stats": [...] }, "cycles": { "details": [...], "summaries": [...], "stats": [...] }, "bfs_waves": { "nodes": [...], "cycle_candidates": [...], "summary": {...} }, "edge_stats": { "total_edges": N, "fetch_time_ms": N } }

Example calls:

Full analysis of Sales and Finance databases

handle_graph_analyseDatabase( conn=connection, container_pattern="%SALES%,%FINANCE%", edge_repository="MY_LINEAGE_DB.EdgeRepository" )

Single database family with top 8 roots

handle_graph_analyseDatabase( conn=connection, container_pattern="%FINANCE%", top_n_roots=8, edge_repository="MY_LINEAGE_DB.EdgeRepository" )

Exclude sandbox schemas

handle_graph_analyseDatabase( conn=connection, container_pattern="PROD_%,STAGE_%", exclude_objects="SANDBOX%,%.temp_%", edge_repository="MY_LINEAGE_DB.EdgeRepository" )

Compute BFS shortest-path hop distances from one or more root nodes.

Pure-Python implementation — no stored procedure required.

WHEN TO USE THIS TOOL vs graph_traceLineage:

Use graph_bfsLevels when asked to:

• Sequence objects for deployment or migration (ORDER BY downstream_level gives correct topological deployment order for root objects)

• Group objects into migration waves (nearest_root identifies which of the input root tables each object belongs to)

• Find which migration root table each object is closest to across a multi-root migration scope

• Identify cycle members by depth (direction='BOTH' nodes with unequal absolute upstream/downstream levels are cycle candidates)

• Count objects within N hops of a change (blast-radius sizing)

• Answer "how far is object X from the migration root tables?"

Do NOT use graph_bfsLevels for general lineage tracing, impact path analysis, or questions about which specific objects depend on which. Use graph_traceLineage for those — it returns the full edge set with relationship detail. graph_bfsLevels returns distances and wave groupings, not dependency paths or edge detail.

KEY DISTINCTION — root_node_list accepts EXACT FQ names only (no wildcards). Use graph_findRootObjects first to identify the seed objects, then pass their exact FQ names here.

Arguments: root_node_list - str: CSV of exact fully-qualified root node names. No wildcards — exact names only.

                  SINGLE ROOT:
                  'DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_account'

                  MULTIPLE ROOTS (CSV):
                  'DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_account,
                   DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_borrower,
                   DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_property'

                  CRITICAL: Exact FQ names, no wildcards.
                  Use graph_findRootObjects or
                  graph_traceLineage first to discover names.

max_depth_up - int: Maximum upstream hops to traverse. 0 = skip upstream analysis entirely. Default: 10

                  Upstream means "what this object DEPENDS ON" —
                  its sources, prerequisites, and ancestors.
                  For root objects with in-degree zero, upstream_level
                  will be NULL for all non-root nodes (correct).

max_depth_down - int: Maximum downstream hops to traverse. 0 = skip downstream analysis entirely. Default: 10

                  Downstream means "what DEPENDS ON this object" —
                  its consumers, dependents, and impact radius.
                  For root objects with in-degree zero, downstream_level
                  will show positive values for all consumers (correct).

exclude_objects - str: CSV of FQ object name LIKE patterns to exclude. Matched against both Src and Tgt sides of every edge. Python fnmatch is used for pattern matching (% → *). Example: 'DFJ%,C_D02%,%.temp_%' Default: '' (no exclusions)

include_containers - str: CSV of container name LIKE patterns to include. Only edges where BOTH Src and Tgt containers match at least one pattern are traversed. Python fnmatch used for matching (% → *). Empty = all containers included. Example: 'DEV01_StGeo%,MF_STGEO%,TABLEAU%,POWERBI%' Default: '' (all containers)

edge_repository - str: Edge repository view/table conforming to the Required parameter — no default.

Returns: ResponseType: formatted response with BFS node results + metadata. Schema is identical to handle_graph_bfsLevels (SP-based tool).

Response structure: { "nodes": [ { "node": "DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_account", "container_name": "DEV01_StGeo_STD_T", "object_name": "mortgage_account", "object_kind": "Table", "upstream_level": None, // None (NULL) if unreachable or skipped "downstream_level": 0, // 0 for root, positive for consumers "nearest_root": "DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_account", "direction": "ROOT", // ROOT / U / D / BOTH "is_root": "Y" }, ... ], "cycle_candidates": [...], // direction='BOTH' nodes with unequal // absolute upstream/downstream levels "summary": { "total_nodes": 46, "root_nodes": 3, "upstream_only": 12, "downstream_only": 28, "both_directions": 3, "cycle_candidates": 1, "max_upstream_depth": 4, "max_downstream_depth": 5, "nodes_per_nearest_root": {"DB.Root1": 20, "DB.Root2": 26}, "object_kind_counts": {"Table": 10, "View": 22, "Macro": 8, ...} } }

direction values: ROOT - One of the input root nodes U - Reachable upstream only (negative upstream_level) D - Reachable downstream only (positive downstream_level) BOTH - Reachable in both directions — possible cycle member. Unequal absolute levels indicate a back-edge (cycle). Equal absolute levels indicate a shared dependency.

Technical Implementation Notes:

• One SQL round-trip to fetch all edges matching the container/exclusion filters. All BFS computation is then done in Python memory.

• Standard queue-based BFS (O(V+E)) — optimal for unweighted graphs. This is more correct than the original Bellman-Ford style SQL relaxation loop that the SP inherited from the notebook.

• Multi-source BFS: all root nodes are seeded simultaneously at level 0. Each non-root node settles at the distance to its nearest root, with ties broken deterministically by lexicographic root name order.

• Upstream BFS follows Src→Tgt edges to discover Src-side ancestors.

• Downstream BFS follows Tgt→Src edges to discover Tgt-side consumers.

• This direction convention matches the corrected SP (Option B fix): upstream_level = NULL for root objects with in-degree zero (correct) downstream_level = positive for all consumers (correct)

• Filter application order:

  1. SQL WHERE clause: fetch only edges matching include_containers (both Src and Tgt containers must match at least one pattern)

  2. Python post-filter: exclude edges where either endpoint matches an exclude_objects pattern (applied before building adjacency)

  3. BFS depth cap: enforced during queue processing

• Node metadata (container_name, object_name, object_kind) is derived from the edge set and stored in a node registry during the fetch phase.

Identify all Weakly Connected Components (WCC) in the dependency graph.

Pure-Python implementation — no stored procedure required. Issues a single SQL SELECT to fetch the scoped edge set, then performs Union-Find WCC partitioning entirely in the MCP server process.

A connected component is a maximal set of nodes where every node can reach every other node when edge direction is ignored. This partitions the graph into isolated sub-graphs.

Use this tool for:

• Understanding graph structure and partitioning

• Identifying isolated sub-graphs

• Scoping downstream impact analysis to a single component

• Pre-filtering before cycle detection (cycles exist only within a component)

• Identifying "islands" of related objects for migration or refactoring

• Estimating blast radius

Arguments: container_pattern - str: CSV LIKE patterns for container scope. Supports wildcards (%) and CSV format. Examples: '%WBC%', '%WBC%,%StGeo%', 'DEV01_%,DEV02_%'

                  CORRECT: container_pattern="%WBC%,%StGeo%"
                  WRONG:   container_pattern=["%WBC%", "%StGeo%"]

exclude_objects - str: CSV LIKE patterns to exclude. Matches against container name (or DB.Object if the pattern contains a dot). Default: '' (no exclusions)

edge_repository - str: Edge repository view/table conforming to the Graph Edge Contract (Src_Container_Name, Src_Object_Name, Src_Kind, Tgt_Container_Name, Tgt_Object_Name, Tgt_Kind columns).

summary_stats row fields: Component_Count, Node_Count, Edge_Count, Largest_Component, Smallest_Component, Singleton_Count, Summary_Message

Detect circular dependencies (cycles) in the dependency graph.

Pure-Python implementation — no stored procedure required. Issues a single SQL SELECT to fetch the scoped edge set, then performs WCC partitioning followed by iterative DFS cycle detection entirely in the MCP server process.

Use this tool for:

• Validating graph integrity (DAG property)

• Finding objects that form circular references

• Identifying stub-then-replace code patterns

• Debugging topological sort hangs

• Pre-deployment cycle checks

summary_stats row fields: Cycle_Count, Total_Nodes_In_Cycles, Components_With_Cycles, Edge_Count, Components_Scanned, Summary_Message

Generate DDL for a Graph Edge Contract-conforming table or view.

This tool does NOT require a database connection — it generates DDL text from templates. No SQL is executed. The conn parameter is accepted for ModuleLoader calling convention compatibility but is not used.

Required columns in the generated schema (6): Src_Container_Name, Src_Object_Name, Src_Kind, Tgt_Container_Name, Tgt_Object_Name, Tgt_Kind

Optional enrichment columns (2): Edge_Relationship — nature of the edge (ETL_INPUT, ETL_OUTPUT, DIRECT…) Transformation_Type — process category (ETL, FEATURE_ENG, AGGREGATION…) These are ignored by graph analysis tools but useful for visualisation.

AI-Native Data Product shortcut: If you are working within an AI-Native Data Product, the view {ProductName}Semantic.lineage_graph (Observability Module v1.5) already conforms to this contract. You do not need to generate DDL — pass that view's fully-qualified name directly as edge_repository on any graph* tool. Example: edge_repository='StGeoMortgage_Semantic.lineage_graph'

Arguments: conn: TeradataConnection (unused — accepted for ModuleLoader compatibility). target_database: Database in which to create the edge repository. For AI-Native Data Products this is typically {ProductName}_Semantic. Example: 'StGeoMortgage_Semantic' object_name: Name for the edge table/view. Default: 'EdgeRepository' output_type: 'TABLE' or 'VIEW'. TABLE: generates CREATE TABLE DDL + separate sample DML. Includes all 6 required + 2 optional columns. VIEW: generates a CREATE VIEW template for mapping an existing lineage source to all 8 contract columns. Default: 'TABLE'

Returns: list[dict]: Response payload containing: - ddl: DDL script (CREATE TABLE/VIEW + COMMENTs) - sample_dml: Sample INSERT statements + validation query (TABLE only; absent for VIEW) - output_type: 'TABLE' or 'VIEW' - contract_version: Contract version string

Find root objects (objects with no upstream dependencies) in specified containers.

Root objects are ideal starting points for downstream impact analysis as they represent the foundational data sources that nothing else depends upon.

Use this for:

• Finding starting points for downstream impact analysis

• Identifying source tables and base objects in data pipelines

• Discovering independent objects that can be safely analysed in isolation

• Understanding data flow origins in a schema or database

• Planning migration or refactoring by identifying foundation objects

Arguments: container_pattern - str: Database/schema pattern(s) to search. SUPPORTS WILDCARDS (%) and CSV.

                  IMPORTANT: This is a STRING parameter (type: str), not an array.
                  Pass multiple patterns as a single comma-separated string.

                  SINGLE CONTAINER:
                  'DEV01_StGeo_STD_T' - Specific database

                  WILDCARDS (%):
                  '%WBC%' - All databases containing WBC
                  'DEV01_%' - All databases starting with DEV01_
                  '%_STD_T' - All databases ending with _STD_T

                  MULTIPLE CONTAINERS (CSV format):
                  '%WBC%,%StGeo%' - All WBC and StGeo databases

                  'DEV01_%,DEV02_%' - All DEV01 and DEV02 databases

                  WHITESPACE HANDLING:
                  Whitespace is automatically trimmed, so these are equivalent:
                  ✅ '%WBC%,%StGeo%' (no spaces)
                  ✅ '%WBC%, %StGeo%' (spaces after commas - OK)

                  HOW TO PASS IN CODE:
                  Python: container_pattern="%WBC%,%StGeo%"
                  JSON: {"container_pattern": "%WBC%,%StGeo%"}

                  CRITICAL: This is a STRING type parameter.
                  ✅ CORRECT: Pass as string: container_pattern="%WBC%,%StGeo%"
                  ❌ WRONG: Pass as array: container_pattern=["%WBC%", "%StGeo%"]

                  Default: '' (empty string = no exclusions)

edge_repository - str: Edge repository table/view conforming to the Required parameter — no default.

object_types - str: Comma-separated list of object types to include (optional filter). Examples: 'T' (tables), 'V' (views), 'P' (procedures), 'M' (macros) Multiple: 'T,V' (tables and views only) Empty = all object types included Default: '' (all types)

return_format - str: Output format: 'detailed' or 'summary' 'detailed' (default): Full object list with metadata 'summary': High-level statistics and counts only Default: 'detailed'

Returns: ResponseType: formatted response with root objects + metadata

Example queries that trigger this tool:

• "Which objects in WBC and StGeo databases have no dependencies?"

• "Find root objects in DEV01 databases"

• "What are the starting points for impact analysis in StGeo?"

• "Show me base tables with no upstream dependencies"

• "Which objects should I start analysing for downstream impact?"

Example calls:

Find root objects in WBC and StGeo databases

handle_graph_findRootObjects( conn=connection, container_pattern="%WBC%,%StGeo%" )

Find only root tables (no views/procedures)

handle_graph_findRootObjects( conn=connection, container_pattern="DEV01_%", object_types="T" )

Find root objects excluding production and temporary objects

handle_graph_findRootObjects( conn=connection, container_pattern="%WBC%,%StGeo%", exclude_objects="PRD_%,%.temp_%,%.bak_%" )

Quick summary of root objects

handle_graph_findRootObjects( conn=connection, container_pattern="DEV01_StGeo_STD_T", return_format="summary" )

Technical Implementation:

• Queries the edge repository to find all objects in specified containers

• Identifies objects that appear as sources but never as targets

• These are "root" objects - they have no upstream dependencies

• Results are filtered by exclude_objects and object_types parameters

• Returns list of root objects suitable for downstream impact analysis

Analyse object dependencies in Teradata. Supports wildcards (%) and CSV patterns.

Hybrid implementation — no stored procedure required. Python constructs Teradata recursive CTEs that execute entirely server-side. Only the reachable subgraph crosses the network — not the full edge table.

Examples: 'DB.Table' (single), '%WBC%.%' (wildcard), 'DB.T1,DB.T2' (CSV)

Finds upstream dependencies (what the object depends on) and downstream dependents (what depends on the object). Returns nodes and edges representing the dependency subgraph.

When multiple patterns are provided via CSV, one upstream CTE and one downstream CTE is executed per pattern. Results are merged and deduplicated by Python before assembly.

Use this for:

• Impact analysis: "What breaks if I change or drop this object?"

• Lineage tracing: "Where does this data come from?"

• Dependency discovery: "What does this object use?"

• Pre-deployment validation: checking impacts before making changes

Arguments: object_name - str: Object name pattern(s). Supports wildcards (%) and CSV format. STRING type — not an array.

                   Single:   'DEV01_StGeo_STD_T.mortgage_account'
                   Wildcard: '%WBC%.%'
                   Multiple: '%WBC%.%,%StGeo%.%'
