Run predictive SQL queries

Execute arbitrary SQL against your data sources using `execute_sql_query`. This lets you pull live results without moving data out of your database. Keep your queries tight. Always use a LIMIT statement to avoid hitting context limits when your data sets grow large.

Audit your AI models

Use `list_models` to see exactly which prediction engines are ready for inference. It gives you a clear view of your project state. You can also pull specific engine details with `get_model` to verify configuration before you run your next prediction.

Monitor your MindsDB MCP Server

Check the health of your connection with `get_status`. It returns the core version and cluster diagnostics to ensure everything is running. Verify your environment by listing active databases and virtual views with `list_databases` and `list_views` to confirm your context is correct.
