Objective

In this notebook, we will be using the AlloyDB AI NL tool to generate and execute SQL queries on AlloyDB databases. We will start by setting up an AlloyDB database and then connecting to it using MCP Toolbox and ADK. This allows us to leverage AlloyDB NL to SQL capabilities in agentic applications.

For detailed information on the AlloyDB capability, please see AlloyDB AI Natural Language Overview.
