Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Infrawise Tools (22)

get_infra_overview

Complete snapshot — services, counts, high-severity findings, `configured` flag (data age and per-source status ride the `dataHealth` block on every response)

get_graph_summary

Full infrastructure graph — all nodes, edges, and findings

get_table_schema

Column-level schema for named tables/collections — types, PKs, FKs, indexes, DynamoDB keys/billing mode, cost signal (no row data)

analyze_function

Issues in a specific function — scans, missing indexes, N+1, trigger event shapes, missing IAM permissions; returns every same-named file as a separate match, or bind to one with the optional `file` input; names refused Lambda links and why (`unresolvedLambdas`)

suggest_gsi

Exact GSI config for a DynamoDB table + attribute — names the existing index instead when one already covers it
