get_lineage_by_attribute
Retrieve data lineage using a unique attribute like qualifiedName when GUID is unknown. Specify entity type, attribute, value, direction, and depth to trace upstream, downstream, or both.
Instructions
Get lineage for an entity identified by a unique attribute.
Same as get_lineage but uses a unique attribute (like qualifiedName) instead of a GUID. Convenient when you know the entity's name but not its GUID.
Args: type_name: Entity type (e.g., "hive_table"). attribute_name: Unique attribute name (typically "qualifiedName"). attribute_value: The attribute value to match. direction: "INPUT" (upstream), "OUTPUT" (downstream), or "BOTH". depth: How many hops to traverse (default: 3, max: 10).
Tool call template
Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.
