nandinisaini-google 5e43630907 feat(prebuilt/cloud-sql): Add clone instance tool for cloud sql (#1845)
## Description

---
This pull request adds a new tool, cloud-sql-clone-instance, which
enables cloning a Cloud SQL instance from the toolbox using the Cloud
SQL Admin API. The tool supports both standard cloning and point-in-time
recovery (PITR). It also supports specifying preferred zones for cloned
instances via the preferredZone and preferredSecondaryZone fields.

Key Features:
Instance Cloning: The tool allows you to clone a Cloud SQL instance by
specifying the source and destination instance names.
Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR): By providing a pointInTime timestamp, you
can create a clone of an instance as it existed at a specific moment.
High Availability Configuration: The preferredZone and
preferredSecondaryZone parameters allow you to configure the cloned
instance for high availability.

The cloud-sql-clone-instance tool clones a Cloud SQL instance using the Cloud SQL Admin API.

{{< notice info dd>}} This tool uses a source of kind cloud-sql-admin. {{< /notice >}}

Examples

Basic clone (current state)

tools:
  clone-instance-basic:
    kind: cloud-sql-clone-instance
    source: cloud-sql-admin-source
    description: "Creates an exact copy of a Cloud SQL instance. Supports configuring instance zones and high-availability setup through zone preferences."

Point-in-time recovery (PITR) clone

tools:
  clone-instance-pitr:
    kind: cloud-sql-clone-instance
    source: cloud-sql-admin-source
    description: "Creates an exact copy of a Cloud SQL instance at a specific point in time (PITR). Supports configuring instance zones and high-availability setup through zone preferences"

Reference

Tool Configuration

field type required description
kind string true Must be "cloud-sql-clone-instance".
source string true The name of the cloud-sql-admin source to use.
description string false A description of the tool.

Tool Inputs

parameter type required description
project string true The project ID.
sourceInstanceName string true The name of the source instance to clone.
destinationInstanceName string true The name of the new (cloned) instance.
pointInTime string false (Optional) The point in time for a PITR (Point-In-Time Recovery) clone.
preferredZone string false (Optional) The preferred zone for the cloned instance. If not specified, defaults to the source instance's zone.
preferredSecondaryZone string false (Optional) The preferred secondary zone for the cloned instance (for HA).

Usage Notes

  • The tool supports both basic clone and point-in-time recovery (PITR) clone operations.
  • For PITR, specify the pointInTime parameter in RFC3339 format (e.g., 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z).
  • The source must be a valid Cloud SQL Admin API source.
  • You can optionally specify the zone parameter to set the zone for the cloned instance. If omitted, the zone of the source instance will be used.
  • You can optionally specify the preferredZone and preferredSecondaryZone (only in REGIONAL instances) to set the preferred zones for the cloned instance. These are useful for high availability (HA) configurations. If omitted, defaults will be used based on the source instance.
