Get prewarm extension status

get_prewarm_extension_status
Read-only

Checks whether pg_prewarm and pg_buffercache extensions are installed and if pg_prewarm's autoprewarm worker is enabled via shared_preload_libraries.

Instructions

Report whether pg_prewarm (and the supporting pg_buffercache) are installed, and whether pg_prewarm is listed in shared_preload_libraries (the autoprewarm worker requires it). Returns an object with pg_prewarm_installed (bool), pg_buffercache_installed (bool), autoprewarm_libraries_present (bool), and shared_preload_libraries (the raw setting).

Example: get_prewarm_extension_status()

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true. The description adds detailed behavioral transparency by listing the exact return fields and explaining the significance of the autoprewarm worker requirement. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise, front-loaded with the purpose, includes an example, and uses formatting (backticks) for clarity. No wasted words.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description fully covers the tool's behavior, return fields, and an example. It is complete enough for a simple status check tool with no nested objects.

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

Parameters3/5

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

With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema; the parameter is well-documented in the schema itself.

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 clearly states it reports on installation status of pg_prewarm and pg_buffercache, and checks shared_preload_libraries. It distinguishes from siblings like list_prewarmed_relations which list actual prewarmed relations, not extension status.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied from the description (check before using pg_prewarm), but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives, nor any when-not-to-use conditions.

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