-*   "List all tables in the `my-database`."
-*   "Execute a DQL query to select data from `orders` table."

+# SQLCommenter Integration Overview
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This README follows the same clean formatting conventions as other documentation files (e.g., `SPANNER_README.md`).
+
+The **SQLCommenter** observability layer has been added to every SQL-capable database source driver in the GenAI Toolbox. It automatically injects a comment containing useful metadata (tool name, controller, driver, OpenTelemetry trace) into every SQL statement executed by the toolbox.
+
+## What is injected?
+```sql
+/*action='myTool',controller='myAgent',db_driver='postgres',traceparent='00-...-...-01'*/ SELECT ...
+```
+The comment is generated by `internal/sqlcommenter/commenter.go` and attached via the `RunSQL` method of each source.
+
+## Covered Drivers
+The following drivers have been instrumented with SQLCommenter. Note that for NoSQL and BigQuery, the implementation adapts to the database's native observation capabilities.
+
+| Driver / Service | Source file | Injection Mechanism |
+|------------------|-------------|-------------------|
+| **AlloyDB Postgres** | `internal/sources/alloydbpg/alloydb_pg.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **BigQuery** | `internal/sources/bigquery/bigquery.go` | **Job Labels** (Metadata Tags) |
+| **Cassandra (CQL)** | `internal/sources/cassandra/cassandra.go` | CQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **ClickHouse** | `internal/sources/clickhouse/clickhouse.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **CloudSQL MSSQL** | `internal/sources/cloudsqlmssql/cloud_sql_mssql.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **CloudSQL MySQL** | `internal/sources/cloudsqlmysql/cloud_sql_mysql.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **CloudSQL Postgres** | `internal/sources/cloudsqlpg/cloud_sql_pg.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **CockroachDB** | `internal/sources/cockroachdb/cockroachdb.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **Couchbase (N1QL)** | `internal/sources/couchbase/couchbase.go`<br>`internal/tools/couchbase/couchbase.go` | N1QL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+
+| **Firebird** | `internal/sources/firebird/firebird.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **MindsDB** | `internal/sources/mindsdb/mindsdb.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **MSSQL** | `internal/sources/mssql/mssql.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **MySQL** | `internal/sources/mysql/mysql.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **OceanBase** | `internal/sources/oceanbase/oceanbase.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **Oracle** | `internal/sources/oracle/oracle.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **Postgres** | `internal/sources/postgres/postgres.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **SingleStore** | `internal/sources/singlestore/singlestore.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **Snowflake** | `internal/sources/snowflake/snowflake.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **Spanner** | `internal/sources/spanner/spanner.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **SQLite** | `internal/sources/sqlite/sqlite.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **TiDB** | `internal/sources/tidb/tidb.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **Trino** | `internal/sources/trino/trino.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+| **YugabyteDB** | `internal/sources/yugabytedb/yugabytedb.go` | SQL Comment (`/* ... */`) |
+
+## Non-SQL Drivers (Exclusions)
+Drivers like **MongoDB, Firestore, Redis, Bigtable, and Dgraph** are currently excluded from SQLCommenter injection because they do not support standard leading block comments at the protocol level. For these drivers, observability is provided safely via standard OpenTelemetry traces.
+
+## How it works
+1. **Context injection** – each `RunSQL` method calls `sqlcommenter.WithDBDriver` to store the driver name in the request context.
+2. **Comment generation** – `sqlcommenter.AppendComment` reads the context (tool name, controller, driver, traceparent) and prepends the comment to the SQL statement.
+3. **BigQuery job labels** – for BigQuery, the same metadata is attached to job labels as key-value pairs (e.g., `controller=mcp-toolbox`).
+4. **Session Lifecycle Management** – The `sseManager` in `internal/server/mcp.go` now implements an `onRemove` callback to safely deregister agent identities when a session times out or is closed, preventing memory leaks in high-velocity environments.
+
+## Configuration & Identity Extraction
+The SQLCommenter metadata handles identity tracking using a strict "Automatic First, Static Second" priority sequence.
+
+### The `controller` Tag Priority
+The `controller` tag maps the query directly to the identity of the AI Agent executing the action.
+
+1. **Automatic MCP Extraction (Primary):** When an agent connects via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the server natively traps the `clientInfo.name` payload from the initial handshake (e.g., "Mosa" or "Claude Desktop"). This is automatically injected into the context mapping for every database trace. **Zero manual configuration is required.**
+2. **Environment Variable Fallback:** If the toolbox is deployed *without* an MCP client (such as a raw Dockerized API handling direct REST `curl` requests), the automatic extraction will understandably return empty. In these non-MCP architectures, operators can supply the `TOOLBOX_AGENT_NAME` environment variable to statically route queries to a named identity.
+
+### Other Environment Overrides
+- **`TOOLBOX_APP_NAME`**: Overrides the `application` tag value. Represents the overall framework running the queries. (Default: `mcp-toolbox`)
+
+## Verification
+- Unit tests in `internal/sqlcommenter/commenter_test.go` confirm the comment is added for Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite.
+- Build verification (`go build ./...`) ensures no breaking signature changes were introduced.
