SYNQ MCP Tools

​

Discovery and Search

• search_entities - Search for entities by name, description, and other metadata with optional filtering by entity types
• sample_entities - Get entity count sampling by type for search queries to understand distribution before detailed searches
• list_annotations - List all available annotations with their usage counts across entities

​

Core Entity Operations

• get_entity_details - Retrieve comprehensive information about a specific data entity
• batch_entity_details - Get details for multiple entities simultaneously
• get_schema - Retrieve schema definition including column names, types, and constraints for table-like entities
• get_database_coordinates_from_entity - Retrieve DWH coordinates and SQL dialect for table entities
• get_entity_from_database_coordinates - Map SQL table references to SYNQ entity IDs using database coordinates
• get_code - Access the latest version of source code that defines or implements data entities

​

Data Lineage Analysis

• get_lineage - Advanced dependency analysis with directional control (upstream, downstream, or both) and configurable depth

• get_upstream_dependencies - Find all upstream dependencies with configurable traversal distance
• get_immediate_upstream_dependencies - Find only the direct upstream dependencies for quick analysis
• get_upstream_sources - Trace data lineage to find original data sources (dbt sources, sqlmesh external models)

• get_downstream_dependencies - Find all downstream dependencies with configurable traversal distance
• get_immediate_downstream_dependencies - Find only the direct downstream dependencies for quick analysis

• get_common_upstream_dependencies - Find shared dependencies between multiple entities

​

Issue and Incident Management

• list_open_issues - List all open issues currently requiring attention with optional entity filtering
• list_open_incidents - List all currently open incidents that need attention or resolution with optional entity filtering

• get_issue - Get basic details of a specific data issue

• get_issue_comments - Get comments and discussions on issues if available

• list_history - Find historical incidents and issues to identify patterns and recurring problems

​

Impact Analysis

• get_entity_impact - Get impact analysis showing all entities and systems affected if there was an issue on the entity
• get_issue_impact - Get impact analysis showing all entities and systems affected by a specific issue

​

Data Quality and Monitoring

• list_checks - Retrieve all data quality checks configured for a specific entity (direct and inherited)
• get_monitor - Retrieve detailed information about a specific monitor including configuration and status
• execute_monitor - Execute a monitor and get its data from the database with optional segmentation and filtering

​

Data Analysis

• profile_columns - Compute statistical information about column values for specific columns (supports String, Numeric, and Time columns)
• sample_column_values - Get frequency distribution of values for specific columns with optional time-based filtering

​

Change Tracking and History

• list_database_changes - Retrieve history of changes for specific entities with timestamps and detailed diffs
• get_database_change_details - Return full change details for specific change IDs (use only when change indicates it has_details)

• list_commits - List commits that affect a specific entity, providing git history and change information
• get_commit_diff - Retrieve exact diff content of specific commit changes with optional path filtering

​

Utilities
