MCP Tools Reference: alloydb

Tool: import_data

Imports data into an AlloyDB cluster from a file stored in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.

Requirements

  • The cluster must exist, and be in a READY state.
  • The primary instance must exist and be in a READY state.
  • The import file must be located in a Cloud Storage bucket.
  • The AlloyDB cluster's storage will scale up to only the storage quota limit. The imported data should be less than that limit. Compressed data (.gz) is supported to reduce the import size.
  • The AlloyDB service account must have the storage.objectViewer IAM role to read from the bucket. The AlloyDB service account is in the format of service-{project_number}@gcp-sa-alloydb.iam.gserviceaccount.com. {project_number} is a valid base-10 encoded positive integer.

Usage

  1. Call import_data to import data into a cluster from a Cloud Storage bucket.
  2. This will return a long-running operation that indicates the progress of the import. The time taken for the operation to complete depends on the size of data being imported.
  3. You can poll the status of the operation using the get_operation tool.

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

Fields
name

string

Required. The resource name of the cluster.

gcsUri

string

database

string

Optional. Name of the database to which the import will be done. For import from SQL file, this is required only if the file does not specify a database. Note - Value provided should be the same as expected from SELECT current_database(); and NOT as a resource reference.

user

string

Optional. Database user to be used for importing the data. Note - Value provided should be the same as expected from SELECT current_user; and NOT as a resource reference.

Union field import_options . oneof field to support various import formats like SQL and CSV. import_options can be only one of the following:
sqlImportOptions

object ( SqlImportOptions )

Options for importing data in SQL format.

csvImportOptions

object ( CsvImportOptions )

Options for importing data in CSV format.

Fields
table

string

Required. The database table to import CSV file into.

columns[]

string

Optional. The columns to which CSV data is imported. If not specified, all columns of the database table are loaded with CSV data.

fieldDelimiter

string

Optional. Specifies the character that separates columns within each row (line) of the file. The default is comma. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code.

quoteCharacter

string

Optional. Specifies the quoting character to be used when a data value is quoted. The default is double-quote. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code.

escapeCharacter

string

Optional. Specifies the character that should appear before a data character that needs to be escaped. The default is same as quote character. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code.

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" } .
