list_table_structure
Show columns (name, type, nullable, primary key) of any table or view. Use after a 'no such column' error to inspect schema without guessing.
Instructions
Show the columns of a table or view: name, type, nullability, primary-key flag.
Use when: writing or debugging a query — call this immediately after a no such column error to inspect the actual schema rather than guessing. Both stdlib views and base tables have fixed schemas; don't infer columns by analogy across them.
Don't use for: this is a separate MCP tool, not a SQL function — don't write SELECT * FROM list_table_structure inside execute_sql.
Parameters: table_name (string) — the exact table or view name as it appears in list_tables output. Case-sensitive; does not accept GLOB patterns or partial matches. Also accepts the alias name (v0.11.3+).
Errors when: the table doesn't exist or has no columns. Call list_tables first if uncertain about the name.
Input Schema
