Example

tools:
  list_indexes:
    kind: postgres-list-publication-tables
    source: postgres-source
    description: |
      Lists all tables that are explicitly part of a publication in the database.
      Tables that are part of a publication via 'FOR ALL TABLES' are not included,
      unless they are also explicitly added to the publication.
      Returns the publication name, schema name, and table name, along with
      definition details indicating if it publishes all tables, whether it
      replicates inserts, updates, deletes, or truncates, and the publication
      owner.

The response is a JSON array with the following elements:

{
  "publication_name": "Name of the publication",
  "schema_name": "Name of the schema the table belongs to",
  "table_name": "Name of the table",
  "publishes_all_tables": "boolean indicating if the publication was created with FOR ALL TABLES",
  "publishes_inserts": "boolean indicating if INSERT operations are replicated",
  "publishes_updates": "boolean indicating if UPDATE operations are replicated",
  "publishes_deletes": "boolean indicating if DELETE operations are replicated",
  "publishes_truncates": "boolean indicating if TRUNCATE operations are replicated",
  "publication_owner": "Username of the database role that owns the publication"
}
