Reference

Tool Configuration

field	type	required	description
type	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.

Advanced Usage

• 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.
