Tool: update_instance
Updates an AlloyDB instance.
Requirements
- The instance that is being updated must exist and be in a READY state. You can use the
list_instancestool to list all instances in a cluster.
Usage
- Call
update_instanceto update an instance. - This will return a long-running operation that indicates the progress of the instance update.
- You can poll the status of the operation using the
get_operationtool. - Once the long-running operation is complete, the instance will be in a READY state.
The following sample demonstrate how to use curl
to invoke the update_instance
MCP tool.
| Curl Request |

curl --location 'https://alloydb.googleapis.com/mcp' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --header 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ --data '{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update_instance", "arguments": { // provide these details according to the tool' s MCP specification } } , "jsonrpc" : "2.0" , "id" : 1 } ' |

Output only. The service attachment created when Private Service Connect (PSC) is enabled for the instance. The name of the resource will be in the format of |
allowedConsumerProjects[]
|
Optional. List of consumer projects that are allowed to create PSC endpoints to service-attachments to this instance. |
pscDnsName
|
Output only. The DNS name of the instance for PSC connectivity. Name convention: |
pscInterfaceConfigs[]
|
Optional. Configurations for setting up PSC interfaces attached to the instance which are used for outbound connectivity. Only primary instances can have PSC interface attached. Currently we only support 0 or 1 PSC interface. |

| Fields | |
|---|---|
networkAttachmentResource
|
The network attachment resource created in the consumer network to which the PSC interface will be linked. This is of the format: "projects/${CONSUMER_PROJECT}/regions/${REGION}/networkAttachments/${NETWORK_ATTACHMENT_NAME}". The network attachment must be in the same region as the instance. |

| Fields | |
|---|---|
consumerProject
|
The consumer project to which the PSC service automation endpoint will be created. |
consumerNetwork
|
The consumer network for the PSC service automation, example: "projects/vpc-host-project/global/networks/default". The consumer network might be hosted a different project than the consumer project. |
ipAddress
|
Output only. The IP address of the PSC service automation endpoint. |

Output Schema
This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a network API call.
Operation
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "name" : string , "metadata" : { "@type" : string , field1 : ... , ... } , "done" : boolean , // Union field |
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.
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" }
