MCP prompts
Curated prompts are user-invoked workflow templates. Each prompt returns short instructions for the model to follow using existing tools and dbt-tools:// resources.
Prompt catalog
| Prompt | Required args | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
triage_dbt_run | — | Failures, skips, bottlenecks |
analyze_model_blast_radius | uniqueId | Upstream/downstream impact |
inspect_dbt_resource | uniqueId | Compact resource review |
optimize_dbt_run | — | Runtime/cost optimization candidates |
review_artifact_snapshot | — | Freshness and cache health |
Optional arguments are documented in packages/mcp/REFERENCE.md.
Client support
Clients without prompts continue using tools directly. Prompt text references both resource URIs and tool names for compatibility.
Safety
Prompts instruct the model not to run dbt, modify project files, or treat heuristics as authoritative. SQL is not embedded by default.
