teradataml Analytic Function tools (tdml_*)

These tools are registered dynamically at server startup from the teradataml library. The full list of registered functions is maintained in tools/constants.py. Each entry maps a teradataml function name to a one-line summary used as the MCP tool description.

Tools are only registered when a database connection is available and the function exists in the connected system's teradataml version. If a function is unavailable, it is skipped with a warning.
