Perplexity

Direct SQL execution for Cursor agents

The `execute_sql` tool lets your agent run queries against your production or staging instances. It writes the results straight into your context window. Your code gets accurate data back, not static stubs. This allows the AI to write functional queries based on your actual schema.

Run vector similarity searches in Cursor

Trigger `vector_search` to pull relevant vectors into your current coding session. The agent sees the distance traces and uses them to refine your logic. It handles the mathematical heavy lifting. You just define the search criteria and let the agent retrieve the matches.

Verify table schemas inside Cursor

Use `describe_table` to get the exact property list for any table. This keeps your code in sync with your database schema. Avoid errors by checking `list_tables` first. It ensures the agent is looking at the right data source before executing any operations.
