03 · What Local YDB MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can inspect or change YDB scheme permissions for a path. The default list action is read-only, write the text-proto dynamic-node auth token file needed for mandatory-auth startup. Use after choosing the SID for auth hardening, delete only the explicitly supplied local-ydb host paths or Docker volumes. Use after inspecting local_ydb_storage_leftovers, and remove tenant metadata, local-ydb containers, network, and storage for a profile, with optional host-path cleanup.
