Perplexity

Claude Code: Database Query Execution

You can execute complex, reliable queries using `execute_sql`. This tool runs single or batch SQL statements and pipes the resulting data directly to your output stream. It's perfect for nightly reporting jobs.

Claude Code: Credentials Rotation

Keep credentials fresh with `rotate_branch_credentials`. Running this triggers a mandatory password rotation on any specified branch. Furthermore, you can check the current status using `get_branch_metrics` to ensure performance is stable post-rotation.

Claude Code: User and Key Management

Managing access via scripts is straightforward. Use `list_user_api_keys` to retrieve all keys associated with the authenticated user. You can then use `delete_user_api_keys` in a loop to clear out old, unused credentials.
