Yuan Teoh 293c1d6889 feat!: update configuration file v2 (#2369)
This PR introduces a significant update to the Toolbox configuration
file format, which is one of the primary **breaking changes** required
for the implementation of the Advanced Control Plane.

# Summary of Changes
The configuration schema has been updated to enforce resource isolation
and facilitate atomic, incremental updates.
* Resource Isolation: Resource definitions are now separated into
individual blocks, using a distinct structure for each resource type
(Source, Tool, Toolset, etc.). This improves readability, management,
and auditing of configuration files.
* Field Name Modification: Internal field names have been modified to
align with declarative methodologies. Specifically, the configuration
now separates kind (general resource type, e.g., Source) from type
(specific implementation, e.g., Postgres).

# User Impact
Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.
Users must eventually update their files to the new YAML format.

# Mitigation & Compatibility
Backward compatibility is maintained during this transition to ensure no
immediate user action is required for existing files.
* Immediate Backward Compatibility: The source code includes a
pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration
files (v1 format) and converts them to the new v2 format under the hood.
* [COMING SOON] Migration Support: The new toolbox migrate subcommand
will be introduced to allow users to automatically convert their old
configuration files to the latest format.

# Example
Example for config file v2:
```
kind: sources
name: my-pg-instance
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project
region: my-region
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: my_user
password: my_pass
---
kind: authServices
name: my-google-auth
type: google
clientId: testing-id
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: some description
statement: SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
parameters:
- name: country
  type: string
  description: some description
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool_2
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: returning the number one
statement: SELECT 1;
---
kind: toolsets
name: example_toolset
tools:
- example_tool
```

postgres-list-active-queries docs 1 The "postgres-list-active-queries" tool lists currently active queries in a Postgres database.
/resources/tools/postgres-list-active-queries

About

The postgres-list-active-queries tool retrieves information about currently active queries in a Postgres database. It's compatible with any of the following sources:

postgres-list-active-queries lists detailed information as JSON for currently active queries. The tool takes the following input parameters:

  • min_duraton (optional): Only show queries running at least this long (e.g., '1 minute', '1 second', '2 seconds'). Default: '1 minute'.
  • exclude_application_names (optional): A comma-separated list of application names to exclude from the query results. This is useful for filtering out queries from specific applications (e.g., 'psql', 'pgAdmin', 'DBeaver'). The match is case-sensitive. Whitespace around commas and names is automatically handled. If this parameter is omitted, no applications are excluded.
  • limit (optional): The maximum number of rows to return. Default: 50.

Example

kind: tools
name: list_active_queries
type: postgres-list-active-queries
source: postgres-source
description: List the top N (default 50) currently running queries (state='active') from pg_stat_activity, ordered by longest-running first. Returns pid, user, database, application_name, client_addr, state, wait_event_type/wait_event, backend/xact/query start times, computed query_duration, and the SQL text.

The response is a json array with the following elements:

{
  "pid": "process id",
  "user": "database user name",
  "datname": "database name",
  "application_name": "connecting application name",
  "client_addr": "connecting client ip address",
  "state": "connection state",
  "wait_event_type": "connection wait event type",
  "wait_event": "connection wait event",
  "backend_start": "connection start time",
  "xact_start": "transaction start time",
  "query_start": "query start time",
  "query_duration": "query duration",
  "query": "query text"
}
