| 6 | + A "spanner-list-graphs" tool retrieves schema information about graphs in a |
| 7 | + Google Cloud Spanner database. |
| 8 | +--- |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## About |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +A `spanner-list-graphs` tool retrieves comprehensive schema information about |
| 13 | +graphs in a Cloud Spanner database. It returns detailed metadata including |
| 14 | +node tables, edge tables, labels and property declarations. It's compatible with: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- [spanner](../../sources/spanner.md) |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +This tool is read-only and executes pre-defined SQL queries against the |
| 19 | +`INFORMATION_SCHEMA` tables to gather metadata. |
| 20 | +{{< notice warning >}} |
| 21 | +The tool only works for the GoogleSQL |
| 22 | +source dialect, as Spanner Graph isn't available in the PostgreSQL dialect. |
| 23 | +{{< /notice >}} |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Features |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- **Comprehensive Schema Information**: Returns node tables, edge tables, labels |
| 28 | + and property declarations |
| 29 | +- **Flexible Filtering**: Can list all graphs or filter by specific graph names |
| 30 | +- **Output Format Options**: Choose between simple (graph names only) or detailed |
| 31 | + (full schema information) output |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Example |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Basic Usage - List All Graphs |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```yaml |
| 38 | +sources: |
| 39 | + my-spanner-db: |
| 40 | + kind: spanner |
| 41 | + project: ${SPANNER_PROJECT} |
| 42 | + instance: ${SPANNER_INSTANCE} |
| 43 | + database: ${SPANNER_DATABASE} |
| 44 | + dialect: googlesql # wont work for postgresql |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +tools: |
| 47 | + list_all_graphs: |
| 48 | + kind: spanner-list-graphs |
| 49 | + source: my-spanner-db |
| 50 | + description: Lists all graphs with their complete schema information |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | +### List Specific Graphs |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +```yaml |
| 56 | +tools: |
| 57 | + list_specific_graphs: |
| 58 | + kind: spanner-list-graphs |
| 59 | + source: my-spanner-db |
| 60 | + description: | |
| 61 | + Lists schema information for specific graphs. |
| 62 | + Example usage: |
| 63 | + { |
| 64 | + "graph_names": "FinGraph,SocialGraph", |
| 65 | + "output_format": "detailed" |
| 66 | + } |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | +
|
| 69 | +## Parameters |
| 70 | +
|
| 71 | +The tool accepts two optional parameters: |
| 72 | +
|
| 73 | +| **parameter** | **type** | **default** | **description** | |
| 74 | +|---------------|:--------:|:-----------:|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
| 75 | +| graph_names | string | "" | Comma-separated list of graph names to filter. If empty, lists all graphs in user-accessible schemas | |
| 76 | +| output_format | string | "detailed" | Output format: "simple" returns only graph names, "detailed" returns full schema information | |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | +## Output Format |
| 79 | +
|
| 80 | +### Simple Format |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | +When `output_format` is set to "simple", the tool returns a minimal JSON structure: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +```json |
| 85 | +[ |
| 86 | + { |
| 87 | + "object_details": { |
| 88 | + "name": "FinGraph" |
| 89 | + }, |
| 90 | + "object_name": "FinGraph", |
| 91 | + "schema_name": "" |
| 92 | + }, |
| 93 | + { |
| 94 | + "object_details": { |
| 95 | + "name": "SocialGraph" |
| 96 | + }, |
| 97 | + "object_name": "SocialGraph", |
| 98 | + "schema_name": "" |
| 99 | + } |
| 100 | +] |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +### Detailed Format |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +When `output_format` is set to "detailed" (default), the tool returns |
| 106 | +comprehensive schema information: |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```json |
| 109 | +[ |
| 110 | + { |
| 111 | + "object_details": { |

| 224 | + |
| 225 | +## Use Cases |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +1. **Database Documentation**: Generate comprehensive documentation of your |
| 228 | + database schema |
| 229 | +2. **Schema Validation**: Verify that expected graphs, node and edge exist |
| 230 | +3. **Migration Planning**: Understand the current schema before making changes |
| 231 | +4. **Development Tools**: Build tools that need to understand database structure |
| 232 | +5. **Audit and Compliance**: Track schema changes and ensure compliance with |
| 233 | + data governance policies |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +## Example with Agent Integration |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +```yaml |
| 238 | +sources: |
| 239 | + spanner-db: |
| 240 | + kind: spanner |
| 241 | + project: my-project |
| 242 | + instance: my-instance |
| 243 | + database: my-database |
| 244 | + dialect: googlesql |
| 245 | +
|
| 246 | +tools: |
| 247 | + schema_inspector: |
| 248 | + kind: spanner-list-graphs |
| 249 | + source: spanner-db |
| 250 | + description: | |
| 251 | + Use this tool to inspect database schema information. |
| 252 | + You can: |
| 253 | + - List all graphs by leaving graph_names empty |
| 254 | + - Get specific graph schemas by providing comma-separated graph names |
| 255 | + - Choose between simple (names only) or detailed (full schema) output |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | + Examples: |
| 258 | + 1. List all graphs with details: {"output_format": "detailed"} |
| 259 | + 2. Get specific graphs: {"graph_names": "FinGraph,SocialGraph", "output_format": "detailed"} |
| 260 | + 3. Just get graph names: {"output_format": "simple"} |
| 261 | +``` |

| 272 | +## Notes |
| 273 | + |
| 274 | +- This tool is read-only and does not modify any data |
| 275 | +- The tool only works for the GoogleSQL source dialect |
