description	Inspect or route Preset database connection configuration, validation, OAuth, upload, create, update, and delete workflows through direct Superset API calls. Use only for direct API workflows; Do not use for MCP-only work.

preset-database-connections

Use for credential-bearing database connection reads and database connection changes.

Always

• Auth and conventions come from preset-api (JWT exchange, base URLs, Rison); resolve the workspace hostname through the Management API when it is not already known.
• Prefer preset-datasets metadata before reading connection configuration.
• Treat connection configuration as credential-bearing even on GET.
• Get explicit confirmation before configuration reads, validation, OAuth, upload, create, update, or delete.
• Redact SQLAlchemy URIs, passwords, private keys, SSH tunnel passwords, server certificates, access tokens, and engine extra secrets.

Decision Rules

• Classify connection configuration as credential-bearing.
• Permit metadata summary only unless the user approves a credential-bearing read.
• Require approval before credential-bearing configuration reads, validation, OAuth, upload, create, update, sync permissions, or delete.
• Forbid printing URI, password, private key, token, certificate, SSH password, or engine extras.

Workflow Order

1. Resolve database connection metadata.
2. Identify credential-bearing fields and endpoint risk.
3. Prepare approval summary for configuration read, validation, OAuth, upload, create, update, or delete.
4. Stop before credential-bearing configuration read, validation, OAuth, upload, create, update, or delete.
