Load messy tabular data into SQL scratchpad tables and answer questions with real queries instead of eyeballing. Use when the user has a CSV, spreadsheet, export, or pasted table and asks for totals, trends, outliers, or a breakdown.
An LLM reading numbers off a table gets them subtly wrong. An LLM writing SQL against those numbers does not. Always move the data into a table first.
create_table(table_name, columns). Use explicit
types. Store money as a number, not a string with a currency symbol; store
dates as ISO YYYY-MM-DD.insert_data(table_name, data). Load everything, not a
sample — the outliers are usually the point.list_tables() to confirm the schema landed as you
intended, then query_data("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM scratch_<table>") and
compare to the source row count. If they differ, find out why before
answering anything.query_data(sql). One query per question. Show the SQL you
ran alongside the result so the user can check your reasoning.Every table name in a query carries the scratch_ prefix. A table created
as create_table("sales", ...) is queried as SELECT ... FROM scratch_sales.
Getting this wrong is the single most common failure here — the query errors
instead of returning data, and no amount of rephrasing the question fixes it.
