    const TITLE: &'static str = "List Tables";
    const DESCRIPTION: &'static str = r#"List all tables in a specific database. Requires `database` — call `listDatabases` first to discover available databases.

<usecase>
Use when:
- Exploring a database to find relevant tables
- Verifying a table exists before querying or inspecting it
- The user asks what tables are in a database
</usecase>

<examples>
✓ "What tables are in the mydb database?" → listTables(database="mydb")
✓ "Does a users table exist?" → listTables to check
✗ "Show me the columns of users" → use getTableSchema instead
</examples>

<what_it_returns>
A sorted JSON array of table name strings.
</what_it_returns>

<pagination>
Paginated. Pass the prior response's `nextCursor` as `cursor` to fetch the next page.
</pagination>"#;
