**Priority**: NONE - Standard compliance example

## ✅ Fully Compliant

This tool serves as the **gold standard** for MCP tool compliance.

### ✅ Perfect Implementation
- [x] Has all required files: `main.py`, `agents.yaml`, `workflows.yaml`, `readme.md`, `template.md`
- [x] Class name follows convention: `SQLDatabaseMCPTool`
- [x] Has `_bypass_pydantic = True`
- [x] Uses standardized error responses
- [x] Documentation files are lowercase
- [x] All agents use `gpt-4o` models
- [x] Modern workflow patterns with correct syntax
- [x] Proper step references with `${context.step_outputs.*}`
- [x] Uses modern `output: to:` format
- [x] Comprehensive security features
- [x] Detailed documentation
- [x] Multiple agent types (builder + validator)
- [x] Proper error handling with `_error_standards.py`

### ✅ Advanced Features
- [x] **Security validation layer** with separate validator agent
- [x] **Parameterized query support** for SQL injection protection
- [x] **Intent-based querying** for natural language interface
- [x] **Multi-database support** (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- [x] **Comprehensive configuration options**
- [x] **Detailed parameter documentation**

## 🏆 Best Practice Examples

### Workflow Structure
```yaml
# Perfect 3-step workflow with validation
- id: build_sql_parameters
  agent: sql_parameter_builder
  # ... builds parameters

- id: validate_sql_query  
  agent: sql_validator
  # ... validates security

- id: execute_sql_query
  tool: sql_database
  # ... executes safely
```

### Agent Configuration
```yaml
# Perfect agent setup
sql_parameter_builder:
  model: "gpt-4o"  # ✅ Optimal model
  instructions: |   # ✅ Comprehensive instructions
    # Detailed role definition
  response_mode: "conversational"  # ✅ Appropriate mode
```

### Security Implementation
