By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

These contracts should include metadata such as the tool version, scope applied, tables accessed, query type, row count, execution time, and any warnings. This additional context allows users to understand how an answer was generated, moving beyond simple demos to reliable production systems.
