Database tool instructions now explain limits and sorted queries

Claude is now told that database result limits run from 1 to 1000, default 100, and that sorted queries return one page only

What

The instructions Claude reads for its database tool now spell out how results come back:

  • limit can be from 1 to 1000, and is 100 if not given
  • a query with order_by returns a single page and never a next_cursor, the marker used to fetch the next page
  • to read a whole collection, Claude should either pass the limit it means or drop order_by and page through with cursor

Before, the instructions only said that limit and cursor page through a collection.

Why

Without this, Claude could assume a sorted query can be paged and read only the first 100 results without noticing.
