Database Agent

The DB Agent is a specialized agent designed to help developers explore and manage databases within a project. It provides visibility into database structure and assists with creating and executing database queries without requiring manual navigation of database configurations.

The DB Agent focuses on database discovery, structure understanding, and data operations. It acts as an intelligent assistant for working with databases more efficiently.

What the DB Agent Is Used For​

The DB Agent is used when you need to understand or interact with your database structure. It helps identify how many databases are available, what tables exist within each database, and how columns are structured inside those tables.

It is especially useful during development when you need quick insights into database schemas or when building features that rely on database queries.

Database Exploration Capabilities​

The DB Agent can provide structured information about your databases, including:

  • Identifying available databases in the project
  • Listing tables within a selected database
  • Mapping columns for specific tables

This allows developers to quickly understand schema structure without manually inspecting configurations.

Query Creation and Data Operations​

In addition to exploration, the DB Agent supports database operations by helping create queries for different use cases. It can assist in building queries for retrieving data as well as modifying it.

The agent supports common data manipulation scenarios, including creating queries, updating records, and deleting entries. It works with database query services to perform these operations in alignment with the project’s existing structure.

When to Use the DB Agent​

Use the DB Agent when you need to:

  • Understand database structure before writing logic
  • Retrieve information about tables or columns
  • Create or modify database queries
  • Perform controlled data updates or deletions

If your requirement involves broader backend business logic beyond database interaction, a backend-focused agent may be more appropriate.

What the DB Agent Does Not Do​

To set clear expectations, the DB Agent does not:

  • Redesign database schemas
  • Automatically optimize data models
  • Replace architectural decisions about database design

Its role is to help you explore and operate on existing database structures.

How It Helps You as a Developer​

By using the DB Agent, developers can quickly access database insights and generate queries without manually inspecting every table or column. This reduces development time and minimizes errors when working with data.

It provides a structured and guided way to explore and manipulate database content while keeping operations aligned with the existing project setup.

The DB Agent exists to answer one core question:

“Can you help me explore or operate on my database?”

If you need visibility into database structure or assistance with creating and managing queries, the DB Agent is the right tool.
