What analyze_table_bloat does on Mcpg
AI agents call analyze_table_bloat to retrieve information from Mcpg without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why analyze_table_bloat is rated Low

It falls squarely in the Read category as a data inspection tool.
