Convex Management
Analyze Convex projects, tables, functions, scheduled jobs, and deployment health.

CONVEX ANALYSIS
=================
Table Documents Size Indexes Functions
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
users 5,240 12MB 3 8 (query/mutation)
messages 124,500 89MB 5 12 (query/mutation/action)
sessions 2,100 3MB 2 4 (query/mutation)
Functions: 24 total (10 queries, 8 mutations, 6 actions)
Cron Jobs: 3 active | Scheduled: 2 pending
Env Vars: 8 configured | Deployments: 5 recent (all successful)
Safety Rules
- Read-only: Only use list/get API endpoints
- Never run mutations, delete tables, or modify indexes without confirmation
- Environment variables: Never output values, only names
- Deploy keys: Never expose deploy key values in output
Anti-Hallucination Rules
- NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
- NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or
--help output.
- NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
- ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
- ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.
Counter-Rationalizations
| Shortcut | Counter | Why |
|---|
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" | Always run Phase 1 discovery first | Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" | Follow the full discovery → analysis flow | Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" | Audit configuration explicitly | Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" | Always check relevant metrics when available | API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" | Try the command and report the actual error | Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |
