    MCP Tools Reference: alloydb

    Tool: create_backup

    Creates a backup for an AlloyDB cluster.

    Requirements

    • The cluster that the backup is being created for must exist and be in a READY state. You can use the list_clusters tool to list all clusters in a project.

    Usage

    1. Call create_cluster to create a cluster if it doesn't exist.
    2. Call create_backup to create a backup for the cluster.
    3. This will return a long-running operation that indicates the progress of the backup creation.
    4. You can poll the status of the operation using the get_operation tool. Generally the creation time can vary depending on the size of the database.
    5. Once the long-running operation is complete, the backup will be in a READY state.

    The following sample demonstrate how to use curl to invoke the create_backup MCP tool.

    Fields
    parent

    string

    Required. The parent resource in which to create the backup. The value must have a format of projects/{project}/locations/{location}. - {project} is the project that the backup resides in. This field can be specified either as: - Project ID: An alphanumeric string that can consist of lowercase letters, numerical digits, or dash ("-") characters. - Project number: A valid base-10 encoded positive integer. - {location} is the Google Cloud region that the backup resides in. Regions will have format like "us-central1" or "us-west2". The field is REQUIRED.
    backupId

    string

    Required. The backup ID is the unique user-assigned ID of the backup. It should be an alphanumeric string that can consist of lowercase letters, numerical digits, or dash characters ("-"). This field is REQUIRED.
    cluster

    string

    Required. The full resource name of the backup source cluster. The value must have a format of projects/{project}/locations/{region}/clusters/{cluster_id}. - {project} is the project that the cluster resides in. This field can be specified either as: - Project ID: An alphanumeric string that can consist of lowercase letters, numerical digits, or dash ("-") characters. - Project number: A valid base-10 encoded positive integer. - {location} is the Google Cloud region that the cluster resides in. Regions will have format like "us-central1" or "us-west2". - {cluster_id} is the ID of cluster. It should be an alphanumeric string that can consist of lowercase letters, numerical digits, or dash ("-") characters. This field is REQUIRED.
    encryptionConfig

    object ( EncryptionConfig )

    Optional. The encryption config can be specified to encrypt the backup with a customer-managed encryption key (CMEK). When this field is not specified, the backup will then use default encryption scheme to protect the user data. This field is OPTIONAL.

    EncryptionConfig

    JSON representation 
     { 
 "kmsKeyName"

    Fields
    kmsKeyName

    string

    The fully-qualified resource name of the KMS key. Each Cloud KMS key is regionalized and has the following format: projects/[PROJECT]/locations/[REGION]/keyRings/[RING]/cryptoKeys/[KEY_NAME]

    Output Schema

    This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a network API call.

. 
 }
    Fields
    name

    string

    The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the name should be a resource name ending with operations/{unique_id} .

    metadata

    object

    Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains progress information and common metadata such as create time. Some services might not provide such metadata. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.

    An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type" contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" } .

    done

    boolean

    If the value is false , it means the operation is still in progress. If true , the operation is completed, and either error or response is available.

    Union field result . The operation result, which can be either an error or a valid response . If done == false , neither error nor response is set. If done == true , exactly one of error or response can be set. Some services might not provide the result. result can be only one of the following:
    error

    object ( Status )

    The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.

    response

    object

    The normal, successful response of the operation. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete , the response is google.protobuf.Empty . If the original method is standard Get / Create / Update , the response should be the resource. For other methods, the response should have the type XxxResponse , where Xxx is the original method name. For example, if the original method name is TakeSnapshot() , the inferred response type is TakeSnapshotResponse .

    An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type" contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" } .

    Any

    JSON representation 
     { 
 "typeUrl" 
 : 
 string 
 , 
 "value" 
 : 
 string 
 }
    Fields
    typeUrl

    string

    Identifies the type of the serialized Protobuf message with a URI reference consisting of a prefix ending in a slash and the fully-qualified type name.

    Example: type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.StringValue

    This string must contain at least one / character, and the content after the last / must be the fully-qualified name of the type in canonical form, without a leading dot. Do not write a scheme on these URI references so that clients do not attempt to contact them.

    The prefix is arbitrary and Protobuf implementations are expected to simply strip off everything up to and including the last / to identify the type. type.googleapis.com/ is a common default prefix that some legacy implementations require. This prefix does not indicate the origin of the type, and URIs containing it are not expected to respond to any requests.

    All type URL strings must be legal URI references with the additional restriction (for the text format) that the content of the reference must consist only of alphanumeric characters, percent-encoded escapes, and characters in the following set (not including the outer backticks): /-.~_!$&()*+,;= . Despite our allowing percent encodings, implementations should not unescape them to prevent confusion with existing parsers. For example, type.googleapis.com%2FFoo should be rejected.

    In the original design of Any , the possibility of launching a type resolution service at these type URLs was considered but Protobuf never implemented one and considers contacting these URLs to be problematic and a potential security issue. Do not attempt to contact type URLs.
    value

    string ( bytes format)

    Holds a Protobuf serialization of the type described by type_url.

    A base64-encoded string.

    details[]

    object

    A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

    An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type" contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" } .
