Prompts¶
The Actian MCP Server for the Actian Analytics Engine includes a built-in prompt template. This tool bridges the gap between plain language inquiries and the structured context an LLM needs to function as a database expert.
Available Prompts¶
Use the following prompt to help you format the database inquiries:
| Prompt | Description |
|---|---|
ask_question | Formats a plain language question into a structured prompt template designed for database experts. |
ask_question¶
Use the ask_question prompt to transform a standard question into a formatted string ready for LLM processing. By framing the request within an expert context, you improve the accuracy and relevance of the generated SQL or data analysis.
Parameters¶
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
question | string | ✓ | The question to insert into the prompt template. |
Output Template¶
You are a database expert. Answer the following question: <question>
Example¶
Input
{
"question": "What are the top 5 customers by revenue this quarter?"
}
Output
You are a database expert. Answer the following question: What are the top 5 customers by revenue this quarter?
