Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| server_infoA | Report the server's current access mode and safety configuration so you know which write operations (if any) are permitted before attempting them. |
| list_schemasA | List user schemas (excludes pg_catalog / information_schema / temp). |
| list_tablesB | List tables, partitioned tables, views and materialized views in a schema, with comment, estimated row count and on-disk size. |
| describe_tableB | Full description of a table/view: columns (type, nullable, default, identity/generated, comment) plus its primary key. |
| list_constraintsB | All constraints on a table (primary key, unique, foreign key, check, exclusion) with their full definitions. |
| get_relationsA | Foreign-key relationships for a table: |
| list_indexesB | Indexes on a table, with full CREATE INDEX definitions and flags. |
| list_triggersA | List triggers in a schema (optionally filtered to one table), with their full CREATE TRIGGER definitions. Excludes internal/constraint triggers. Important to review before writes: triggers may cascade side effects. |
| list_functionsA | List functions and procedures in a schema (signature, return type, language, kind). Use get_function_definition for the full source. |
| get_function_definitionA | Full source (CREATE OR REPLACE ...) of a function or procedure. If the

| list_viewsA | List views and materialized views in a schema, with their SQL definitions. |
| list_enumsC | List enum types in a schema with their ordered labels. |
| table_statsA | Size and activity statistics for a table (live/dead rows, sizes, last vacuum/analyze, sequential vs index scans). |
| run_selectA | Run a single read-only SELECT/WITH/EXPLAIN/SHOW statement and return rows. This tool rejects non-read and multi-statement SQL and caps returned rows. (In readonly access mode the DB session is also read-only at the engine.) |
