  • hana_show_env_varsShow all HANA-related environment variables (for debugging)
  • hana_list_tablesList tables in a schema with optional name prefix and pagination (HANA_LIST_DEFAULT_LIMIT / offset).
  • hana_describe_tableDescribe the structure of a specific table
  • hana_explain_tableReturn column metadata merged with optional business semantics from HANA_SEMANTICS_PATH or HANA_SEMANTICS_URL (JSON keys: SCHEMA.TABLE or DB.SCHEMA.TABLE when catalog_database is set). Optional catalog_database reads SYS.* from another MDC database (e.g. HSP).
  • hana_list_indexesList all indexes for a specific table
  • hana_describe_indexDescribe the structure of a specific index
  • hana_execute_queryExecute SQL against HANA. When HANA_QUERY_LIMITS_ENABLED=true, SELECT/WITH queries are wrapped with LIMIT/OFFSET (HANA_MAX_RESULT_ROWS) and row/column/cell caps apply; results are returned as-is otherwise. INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE are blocked by default; set HANA_ALLOW_INSERT, HANA_ALLOW_UPDATE, HANA_ALLOW_DELETE=true individually to permit each. Use limit, offset, maxRows, includeTotal as needed. If truncated, snapshotId may be returned for hana_query_next_page.
  • hana_query_next_pageFetch the next page of a truncated SELECT using snapshotId from a previous hana_execute_query result (same SQL and parameters; TTL HANA_QUERY_SNAPSHOT_TTL_MS).
  • hana_list_constraintsList primary key, unique, check, and foreign key constraints for a table (SYS.CONSTRAINTS + SYS.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS).
