Filter Format

Each filter in the filters array should be a JSON string with the following structure:

json

{
  "field": "fieldName",
  "op": "operator",
  "value": "compareValue"
}

Supported operators:

< - Less than
<= - Less than or equal to
> - Greater than
>= - Greater than or equal to
== - Equal to
!= - Not equal to
array-contains - Array contains a specific value
array-contains-any - Array contains any of the specified values
in - Field value is in the specified array
not-in - Field value is not in the specified array

Value types supported:

String: "value": "text"
Number: "value": 123 or "value": 45.67
Boolean: "value": true or "value": false
Array: "value": ["item1", "item2"] (for in, not-in, array-contains-any operators)

OrderBy Format

The orderBy parameter should be a JSON string with the following structure:

json

{
  "field": "fieldName",
  "direction": "ASCENDING"
}

Direction values:

ASCENDING
DESCENDING

Example Usage

Query with filters

json

{
  "collectionPath": "users",
  "filters": [
    "{\"field\": \"age\", \"op\": \">\", \"value\": 18}",
    "{\"field\": \"status\", \"op\": \"==\", \"value\": \"active\"}"
  ],
  "orderBy": "{\"field\": \"createdAt\", \"direction\": \"DESCENDING\"}",
  "limit": 50
}

Query with array contains filter

json

{
  "collectionPath": "products",
  "filters": [
    "{\"field\": \"categories\", \"op\": \"array-contains\", \"value\": \"electronics\"}",
    "{\"field\": \"price\", \"op\": \"<\", \"value\": 1000}"
  ],
  "orderBy": "{\"field\": \"price\", \"direction\": \"ASCENDING\"}",
  "limit": 20
}

Query with IN operator

json

{
  "collectionPath": "orders",
  "filters": [
    "{\"field\": \"status\", \"op\": \"in\", \"value\": [\"pending\", \"processing\"]}"
  ],
  "limit": 100
}

Query with explain metrics

json

{
  "collectionPath": "users",
  "filters": [
    "{\"field\": \"age\", \"op\": \">=\", \"value\": 21}",
    "{\"field\": \"active\", \"op\": \"==\", \"value\": true}"
  ],
  "orderBy": "{\"field\": \"lastLogin\", \"direction\": \"DESCENDING\"}",
  "limit": 25,
  "analyzeQuery": true
}

Output Format

Standard Response (analyzeQuery = false)

The tool returns an array of documents, where each document includes:

json

{
  "id": "documentId",
  "path": "collection/documentId",
  "data": {
    // Document fields
  },
  "createTime": "2025-01-07T12:00:00Z",
  "updateTime": "2025-01-07T12:00:00Z",
  "readTime": "2025-01-07T12:00:00Z"
}

Response with Query Analysis (analyzeQuery = true)

When analyzeQuery is set to true, the tool returns a single object containing documents and explain metrics:

json

{
  "documents": [
    // Array of document objects as shown above
  ],
  "explainMetrics": {
    "planSummary": {
      "indexesUsed": [
        {
          "query_scope": "Collection",
          "properties": "(field ASC, __name__ ASC)"
        }
      ]
    },
    "executionStats": {
      "resultsReturned": 50,
      "readOperations": 50,
      "executionDuration": "120ms",
      "debugStats": {
        "indexes_entries_scanned": "1000",
        "documents_scanned": "50",
        "billing_details": {
          "documents_billable": "50",
          "index_entries_billable": "1000",
          "min_query_cost": "0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

The tool will return errors for:

Invalid collection path
Malformed filter JSON
Unsupported operators
Query execution failures
Invalid orderBy format
