Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| create_databaseB | Provision a new PostgreSQL database. Returns a connection string ready to use immediately. |
| list_databasesB | List all databases on your account. |
| get_databaseA | Get details for a specific database including its connection string. |
| delete_databaseB | Permanently delete a database and all its data. |
| queryC | Execute a SQL query against a database. Use $1, $2, ... for parameters. Results are sanitized for safe LLM context. |
| introspect_schemaA | Get the database schema — tables and columns — in a format optimized for LLM context. Use this before writing queries against an existing database. |
| snapshotB | Create a point-in-time snapshot of a database. Requires Builder tier or higher. |
| get_accountB | Get your account tier, usage, and limits. |
| migrateA | Apply a schema change (DDL) to a database. Migrations are tracked in _lobsterdb_migrations and are idempotent — safe to call multiple times with the same name. Guidelines:
|
| list_migrationsB | List all schema migrations that have been applied to a database, in order. |

TDQS
Scored across 10 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: database lifecycle, SQL querying, schema introspection, migrations, snapshots, and account details. The query-vs-migrate boundary is explicitly clarified, and no two tools appear to do the same thing.
Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (create_database, get_database, list_databases, introspect_schema, list_migrations). Minor deviations are snapshot (bare noun) and query/migrate (verbs without an explicit object).
Ten tools is well-scoped for a database provisioning and management server. Each tool earns its place, covering account, database CRUD, querying, schema introspection, migrations, and snapshots without excessive redundancy.
Core database and query workflows are covered, but database CRUD lacks an update/rename operation and snapshots can only be created, not listed, restored, or deleted. Migrations can be applied and listed but not rolled back or dropped, leaving some notable lifecycle dead ends.
