AnalyticDB for MySQL MCP Server

English | 中文

AnalyticDB for MySQL MCP Server is a universal interface between AI Agents and AnalyticDB MySQL. It provides two tool groups:

SQL Tools & Resources (sql group): Connect directly to ADB MySQL clusters to execute SQL, view execution plans, and browse database metadata. The sql group is only a tool-group switch; execute_sql runs in read-only mode by default, and full SQL execution mode requires the additional explicit setting ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true.
OpenAPI Tools (openapi group): Manage clusters, whitelists, accounts, networking, monitoring, diagnostics, and audit logs via Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI.

Read-only tools are annotated with ToolAnnotations(readOnlyHint=True) per the MCP protocol, allowing clients to distinguish them from mutating operations.

一、Prerequisites

Python >= 3.13
uv (recommended package manager and runner)
Alibaba Cloud AccessKey (required for OpenAPI tools)
Optional: ADB MySQL connection credentials (for SQL tools in direct-connection mode)

二、Quick Start

2.0 Choose a Configuration

Choose the tool groups and extra switches for your scenario before copying a client configuration:

Scenario	Tool groups	Extra switch	Best for
Read-only SQL queries, EXPLAIN, and metadata browsing	`sql`	None	Recommended default for querying, troubleshooting, and read-only analysis
Full SQL execution through `execute_sql`	`sql`	`ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true`	INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/DDL/multi-statement SQL when the MCP client is trusted
OpenAPI cluster management tools + SQL read tools	`openapi,sql`	Alibaba Cloud AK/SK + `ADB_MYSQL_*` direct connection settings	Cluster, account, whitelist, diagnostics, and monitoring operations while keeping SQL read access
OpenAPI + full SQL execution	`openapi,sql`	Alibaba Cloud AK/SK + `ADB_MYSQL_*` direct connection settings + `ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true`	Administration plus full SQL execution

MCP_TOOLSETS=sql only enables the SQL tool group. Full SQL execution is not a separate tool group, and there is no sql_write tool group. It must be enabled separately with ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true.

Before configuring a client, check:

Direct database mode: configure ADB_MYSQL_HOST, ADB_MYSQL_PORT, ADB_MYSQL_USER, ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD, and optionally ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE.
Temporary account mode: if ADB_MYSQL_USER / ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD are not configured but AK/SK is available, the server creates a temporary database account through OpenAPI; SQL tool calls must provide region_id and db_cluster_id.
Remote SSE / Streamable HTTP: when SERVER_HOST is not a loopback address, configure API_KEY on the server and Authorization: Bearer on the client.
Full SQL execution: enable it only for trusted users and trusted MCP clients, and use a least-privilege database account.

2.1 Using cherry-studio (Recommended)

1. Download and install cherry-studio

2. Follow the documentation to install uv, which is required for the MCP environment

3. Configure and use ADB MySQL MCP according to the documentation. You can quickly import the configuration using the JSON below.

cherry-studio configuration

Configuration A — SQL read tools only (execute read-only queries, view plans, browse metadata):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "name": "adb-mysql-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "isActive": true,
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "sql"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration B — OpenAPI tools + SQL read tools:

Note: OpenAPI tools include mutating administration capabilities such as account creation, whitelist modification, and query termination. Enable them only when you intentionally need management operations. The example below also keeps the sql tool group enabled, so it includes direct database connection settings.

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "name": "adb-mysql-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "isActive": true,
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your_access_key_id",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your_access_key_secret",
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "openapi,sql"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you only want OpenAPI management tools and do not need SQL tools or resources, change MCP_TOOLSETS to openapi and remove the ADB_MYSQL_* direct database settings.

**Configuration C — Full SQL execution through execute_sql:**

Warning: With ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true, execute_sql exposes full SQL execution. The server only performs basic input validation and does not restrict statement type, comments, semicolons, multi-statement SQL, DDL, DML, DCL, or TCL. Enable it only for trusted users and use a least-privilege database account.

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "name": "adb-mysql-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "isActive": true,
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "sql",
        "ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration D — OpenAPI tools + full SQL execution:

Warning: This configuration enables both OpenAPI management capabilities and full SQL execution through execute_sql. Use it only with trusted clients, trusted users, and a least-privilege database account.

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "name": "adb-mysql-mcp-server",
      "type": "stdio",
      "isActive": true,
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your_access_key_id",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your_access_key_secret",
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "openapi,sql",
        "ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Without MCP_TOOLSETS, only the sql group is enabled, and execute_sql still runs in read-only mode by default. When AK/SK is not configured, OpenAPI tools are automatically disabled even if requested.

2.2 Using Claude Code

Download from GitHub and sync dependencies:

shell

git clone https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server
cd alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server
uv sync

Add the following configuration to the Claude Code MCP config file (project-level: .mcp.json in the project root, or user-level: ~/.claude/settings.json):

stdio transport:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "sql",
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

For OpenAPI management tools, add ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, and explicitly include openapi in MCP_TOOLSETS. The example below uses the common setting MCP_TOOLSETS=openapi,sql, so it also includes direct database connection settings and the SQL read tools work after copying the config:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your_access_key_id",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your_access_key_secret",
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "openapi,sql",
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you only want OpenAPI management tools and do not need SQL tools or resources, change MCP_TOOLSETS to openapi and remove the ADB_MYSQL_* direct database settings.

For full SQL execution through execute_sql, keep MCP_TOOLSETS=sql and set ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true. Note that neither MCP_TOOLSETS=sql nor MCP_TOOLSETS=all enables full SQL execution by itself:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "sql",
        "ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS": "true",
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you need both OpenAPI management and full SQL execution, use MCP_TOOLSETS=openapi,sql and set ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "adb-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your_access_key_id",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your_access_key_secret",
        "MCP_TOOLSETS": "openapi,sql",
        "ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS": "true",
        "ADB_MYSQL_HOST": "your_adb_mysql_host",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "ADB_MYSQL_USER": "your_username",
        "ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

SSE transport — start the server first, then configure the client:

bash

export MCP_TOOLSETS=sql
export ADB_MYSQL_HOST="your_adb_mysql_host"
export ADB_MYSQL_PORT="3306"
export ADB_MYSQL_USER="your_username"
export ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD="your_password"
export ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE="your_database"
export SERVER_TRANSPORT=sse
export SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
export SERVER_PORT=8000
# API_KEY is required when SERVER_HOST is not a loopback address. Use at least 32 characters.
# export API_KEY="replace-with-a-random-token-at-least-32-chars"
# To enable OpenAPI management tools, add AK/SK and explicitly include openapi:
# export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key_id"
# export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your_access_key_secret"
# export MCP_TOOLSETS=openapi,sql
# To enable full SQL execution through execute_sql, explicitly set:
# export ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true

uv --directory /path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server run adb-mysql-mcp-server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}

If the server is bound to a non-loopback host, configure API_KEY on the server side and send it from the client side as an HTTP header. In short: API_KEY is the server-side token, and Authorization: Bearer is the client-side request header.

bash

# Server side
export SERVER_TRANSPORT=sse
export SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0
export API_KEY="replace-with-a-random-token-at-least-32-chars"
uv --directory /path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server run adb-mysql-mcp-server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://your-server-host:8000/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer replace-with-a-random-token-at-least-32-chars"
      }
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP transport — start the server first, then configure the client:

bash

export MCP_TOOLSETS=sql
export ADB_MYSQL_HOST="your_adb_mysql_host"
export ADB_MYSQL_PORT="3306"
export ADB_MYSQL_USER="your_username"
export ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD="your_password"
export ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE="your_database"
export SERVER_TRANSPORT=streamable_http
export SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
export SERVER_PORT=8000
# API_KEY is required when SERVER_HOST is not a loopback address. Use at least 32 characters.
# export API_KEY="replace-with-a-random-token-at-least-32-chars"
# To enable OpenAPI management tools, add AK/SK and explicitly include openapi:
# export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key_id"
# export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your_access_key_secret"
# export MCP_TOOLSETS=openapi,sql
# To enable full SQL execution through execute_sql, explicitly set:
# export ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true

uv --directory /path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server run adb-mysql-mcp-server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For streamable_http on a non-loopback host, use the same server-side API_KEY and client-side Authorization: Bearer header pattern shown above. Full client JSON configuration example:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adb-mysql-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://your-server-host:8000/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer replace-with-a-random-token-at-least-32-chars"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: When ADB_MYSQL_USER and ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD are not configured but AK/SK is available, a temporary database account is automatically created via OpenAPI for SQL execution and cleaned up afterward.

2.3 Using Cline

Set environment variables and run the MCP server:

bash

export MCP_TOOLSETS=sql
export ADB_MYSQL_HOST="your_adb_mysql_host"
export ADB_MYSQL_PORT="3306"
export ADB_MYSQL_USER="your_username"
export ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD="your_password"
export ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE="your_database"
export SERVER_TRANSPORT=sse
export SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
export SERVER_PORT=8000
# To enable OpenAPI management tools, add AK/SK and explicitly include openapi:
# export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key_id"
# export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your_access_key_secret"
# export MCP_TOOLSETS=openapi,sql

uv --directory /path/to/alibabacloud-adb-mysql-mcp-server run adb-mysql-mcp-server

Then configure the Cline remote server:

code

remote_server = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse"

2.4 Smoke Test

After the server is started and connected to your MCP client, run these read-only statements to verify the setup without modifying data:

sql

select 1 as ok;

sql

select current_date as today, current_timestamp as now_time;

You can also test query-plan tools with get_query_plan or get_execution_plan:

sql

select 1 as plan_test;

In default read-only mode, the following multi-statement SQL should be rejected, which confirms single-statement protection is active:

sql

select 1; select 2;

To further confirm write protection, run the following only in a test database or after confirming the table name. It should be rejected in default read-only mode:

sql

update your_table set id = id where 1 = 0;

If you do not know a real table name yet, do not run table-specific SQL. Start with show databases;, the MCP resource adbmysql:///databases, or adbmysql:///{database}/tables to inspect metadata.

三、Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID`	Yes (OpenAPI tools)	Alibaba Cloud AccessKey ID
`ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET`	Yes (OpenAPI tools)	Alibaba Cloud AccessKey Secret
`ALIBABA_CLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN`	No	STS temporary security token
`ADB_MYSQL_HOST`	No	Database host (direct-connection mode)
`ADB_MYSQL_PORT`	No	Database port, default 3306 (direct-connection mode)
`ADB_MYSQL_USER`	No	Database username (direct-connection mode)
`ADB_MYSQL_PASSWORD`	No	Database password (direct-connection mode)
`ADB_MYSQL_DATABASE`	No	Default database name (direct-connection mode)
`ADB_MYSQL_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`	No	Database connection timeout in seconds, default 2
`ADB_MYSQL_MAX_SQL_LENGTH`	No	Maximum accepted SQL statement length, default 10000. Must be a positive integer
`ADB_API_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`	No	OpenAPI connection timeout in milliseconds, default 10000 (10s)
`ADB_API_READ_TIMEOUT`	No	OpenAPI read timeout in milliseconds, default 300000 (5min)
`MCP_TOOLSETS`	No	Comma-separated tool groups to enable. Default: `sql`. Supported groups: `sql`, `openapi`; shortcut: `all` expands to `openapi,sql`. This variable only controls tool-group exposure and does not control full SQL execution permission
`SERVER_TRANSPORT`	No	Transport protocol: `stdio` (default), `sse`, `streamable_http`
`SERVER_HOST`	No	SSE/HTTP bind host, default `127.0.0.1`; non-loopback hosts require `API_KEY`
`SERVER_PORT`	No	SSE/HTTP server port, default 8000
`API_KEY`	No	MCP HTTP auth token; clients must send `Authorization: Bearer` when configured. Required on non-loopback hosts; use at least 32 characters
`ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS`	No	Controls whether `execute_sql` enters full SQL execution mode. Default: `false`; it must be explicitly set to `true` to enter full SQL execution mode. The actual executable scope is still limited by the database account privileges, database driver, and maximum SQL length

四、Tool List

By default, only the sql group is enabled and execute_sql only allows read-only SQL. The openapi group is enabled only when openapi is explicitly included in MCP_TOOLSETS. MCP_TOOLSETS only controls tool-group exposure; full SQL execution through execute_sql must be enabled separately with ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true.

4.1 Cluster Management (group: `openapi`)

Tool	Description
`describe_db_clusters`	List ADB MySQL clusters in a region
`describe_db_cluster_attribute`	Get detailed cluster attributes
`describe_cluster_access_whitelist`	Get cluster IP whitelist
`modify_cluster_access_whitelist`	Modify cluster IP whitelist
`describe_accounts`	List database accounts in a cluster
`describe_cluster_net_info`	Get cluster network connection info
`get_current_time`	Get current server time

4.2 Diagnostics & Monitoring (group: `openapi`)

Tool	Description

4.3 Administration & Audit (group: `openapi`)

Tool	Description
`create_account`	Create a database account
`modify_db_cluster_description`	Modify cluster description
`describe_db_cluster_space_summary`	Get cluster storage space summary
`describe_audit_log_records`	Query SQL audit log records

4.4 Advanced Diagnostics (group: `openapi`)

`describe_inclined_tables`	Detect data-skewed tables

4.5 SQL Tools (group: `sql`)

Tool	Description
`execute_sql`	Execute SQL on an ADB MySQL cluster. Read-only SQL is allowed by default; full SQL execution requires `ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true`
`get_query_plan`	Get EXPLAIN execution plan for a single SELECT or read-only WITH CTE statement
`get_execution_plan`	Get EXPLAIN ANALYZE actual execution plan for a single SELECT or read-only WITH CTE statement

4.6 MCP Resources (group: `sql`)

MCP resources are assigned to the sql group because they read database metadata through the SQL connection, such as SHOW DATABASES, SHOW TABLES, SHOW CREATE TABLE, and SHOW adb_config. They are read-only metadata resources and are available together with the default SQL read group.

Resource URI	Description
`adbmysql:///databases`	List all databases
`adbmysql:///{database}/tables`	List all tables in a database
`adbmysql:///{database}/{table}/ddl`	Get table DDL
`adbmysql:///config/{key}/value`	Get a config key value

五、Security Policy

5.1 Read-only SQL Mode

When ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS is not set to true, execute_sql runs in read-only mode. The server validates SQL before opening a database connection:

Allows read-only SQL such as SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, DESC, EXPLAIN, and read-only WITH CTE statements.
Allows one optional terminal semicolon and removes it before execution.
Rejects multi-statement SQL.
Rejects SQL comments outside strings or quoted identifiers.
Rejects unclosed strings or quoted identifiers.
Rejects write keywords in SELECT or WITH bodies, including nested write operations.
Rejects SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE and SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE.

This mode is intended to reduce accidental or unauthorized mutations by AI clients.

5.2 Full SQL Execution Mode

Risk notice: Full SQL execution mode means the MCP server provides a general-purpose SQL execution entry point. After it is enabled, the server no longer attempts to classify SQL as read or write, and it does not block multi-statement SQL, comments, DDL, DML, DCL, or TCL. Enable it only for trusted users, trusted MCP clients, and least-privilege database accounts.

When ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true, execute_sql becomes a full SQL execution entry point. The server only performs basic input validation: the value must be a string, must not be empty after trimming, and must not exceed ADB_MYSQL_MAX_SQL_LENGTH.

After this mode is enabled, the server no longer restricts statement type, comments, semicolons, multi-statement SQL, DDL, DML, DCL, or TCL, and it does not perform SQL syntax validation. Any SQL accepted by the configured database account and database driver may be executed.

get_query_plan and get_execution_plan are not full SQL execution tools. They always validate their input as a single read-only SELECT or read-only WITH CTE statement, even when ENABLE_SQL_WRITE_TOOLS=true.

5.3 Operational Recommendations

Do not expose SSE or Streamable HTTP on a public or shared network without a strong API_KEY.
Use high-entropy API keys and rotate them when they may have been shared.
Use read-only database accounts for read-only deployments.
Use least-privilege database accounts when full SQL execution is enabled.
Enable OpenAPI tools only in trusted administration scenarios.

七、SKILL

In addition to the MCP server above, this project also provides an independent SKILL under the skill/ directory. The Skill can be deployed directly to Claude Code without relying on this MCP server (it calls ADB MySQL OpenAPI through call_adb_api.py in the SKILL directory).

The Skill covers cluster information queries, performance monitoring, slow query diagnosis, SQL Pattern analysis, and SQL execution, with built-in guided diagnostic workflows for common scenarios.

For setup and usage details, see skill/skill_readme.md.

Note: The evolution of this Skill will be aligned with our next-generation Agent in the future. Stay tuned.
