What this agent helps you do
A Neon Postgres database investigation agent helps teams understand database symptoms before changing anything. It can inspect available context, propose queries, and summarize likely causes.
When to use this workflow
Use it for slow queries, migration planning, data quality checks, branch reviews, or incidents where the database may be involved.
How Neon gives the agent context
Connect the plugin and specify the project, branch, database, table, or issue. Ask the agent to use read-only investigation first and to mark write or schema changes as approval-required.
Example starter prompt
Investigate this Postgres issue in Neon. Use safe read-only checks where possible, summarize evidence, identify likely causes, and prepare any schema or data changes as approval-ready recommendations.Suggested workflow steps
Define the symptom, gather database context, inspect schema or query evidence, rank hypotheses, and prepare safe next checks. The agent should document assumptions and risks.
Expected handoff
The handoff should include evidence, likely causes, proposed queries, risk notes, and approval-ready changes. Pair with GitHub when migrations or code changes are needed.
