get_model_parents.md1.24 kB
<instructions> Retrieves the parent models of a specific dbt model. These are the models that the specified model depends on. You can provide either a model_name or a uniqueId, if known, to identify the model. Using uniqueId is more precise and guarantees a unique match, which is especially useful when models might have the same name in different projects. Returned parents include `resourceType`, `name`, and `description`. For upstream sources, also provide `sourceName` and `uniqueId` so lineage can be linked back via `get_all_sources`. </instructions> <parameters> model_name: The name of the dbt model to retrieve parents for. uniqueId: The unique identifier of the model. If provided, this will be used instead of model_name for a more precise lookup. You can get the uniqueId values for all models from the get_all_models() tool. </parameters> <examples> 1. Getting parents for a model by name: get_model_parents(model_name="customer_orders") 2. Getting parents for a model by uniqueId (more precise): get_model_parents(model_name="customer_orders", uniqueId="model.my_project.customer_orders") 3. Getting parents using only uniqueId: get_model_parents(uniqueId="model.my_project.customer_orders") </examples>
