- servers/mcp_server_sqlite.py:64-78 (handler)Handler function for the 'list_tables' MCP tool in the SQLite server implementation. Uses @mcp.tool() decorator for registration and executes a SQLite query to list all tables.

Uses @mcp.tool() decorator for registration and queries information_schema.TABLES.

Uses @mcp.tool() decorator for registration and queries user_tables.
