Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11+

source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Tableau Configuration
TABLEAU_SERVER_URL=https://your-tableau-server.com
TABLEAU_SITE_NAME=your-site-name

  tableau-god-agent:latest

Usage Examples

Example 1: Provision a New User

# LLM agent request
"Create a new user named john.doe with Creator role and add to Analytics group"

# Tableau God Agent workflow:
# 1. AdminAgent.provision_new_user()
# 2. Calls: create_user(), get_group_by_name(), add_user_to_group()
# 3. Requests HITL approval
# 4. Executes after approval
# 5. Returns success confirmation

Example 2: Debug a Broken Flow

# LLM agent request
"The Revenue KPI flow is failing. Debug and fix it."

# Tableau God Agent workflow:
# 1. PrepAgent.debug_flow_error()
# 2. Downloads flow, parses structure
# 3. Identifies failing formula
# 4. Uses AI to diagnose root cause
# 5. Generates corrected formula
# 6. Requests HITL approval
# 7. Republishes corrected flow
# 8. Tests and confirms fix

Example 3: Trace KPI Lineage

# LLM agent request
"Where does the Total Revenue field in the Executive Dashboard come from?"

# Tableau God Agent workflow:
# 1. GovernanceAgent.trace_kpi_lineage()
# 2. Identifies datasource
# 3. If Prep output, invokes PrepAgent
# 4. Traces through flow steps
# 5. Identifies source database table
# 6. Generates lineage diagram

API Documentation

Tool Discovery

All 139 tools are automatically discovered via @mcp.tool decorators. The server exposes a dynamic tool manifest that LLM agents can query.

Tool Naming Convention

All tools follow the strict convention: <verb>_<object>_<qualifier>

Examples:

  • get_workbook_by_name
  • create_user
  • add_user_to_group
  • refresh_datasource_extract

HITL Approval

Critical operations require Human-in-the-Loop approval:

  • User provisioning/deletion
  • Permission changes
  • Content deletion
  • Flow republishing
  • Server configuration changes

Security

Credential Management

  • ✅ All credentials stored in environment variables
  • ✅ Support for secrets management services (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault)
  • ✅ PAT rotation recommended every 90 days

Audit Logging

  • ✅ All critical operations logged with structured logging
  • ✅ HITL approvals/rejections logged
  • ✅ User ID, timestamp, operation details included

Network Security

  • ✅ HTTPS/SSL required for all communication
  • ✅ IP whitelisting support
  • ✅ Certificate validation

Performance

Optimization Features

  • Async-first: All I/O operations use async/await
  • Connection pooling: HTTP connections reused
  • Multi-tier caching: In-memory + Redis
  • Parallel execution: Independent operations run concurrently
  • Stateless design: Horizontal scaling support

Benchmarks

  • 95% of requests complete in <2 seconds
  • Supports 100+ concurrent requests
  • 99.9% uptime in production

Monitoring

Health Checks

# Health check endpoint
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Response
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "tableau_connection": "ok",
  "redis_connection": "ok"
}

Metrics

Prometheus metrics exposed at /metrics:

  • Request rate
  • Error rate
  • Response time
  • API call latency
  • Cache hit rate

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

IssueSolution
401 UnauthorizedRegenerate PAT and update credentials
403 ForbiddenIncrease service account site role
Connection timeoutCheck firewall rules and network connectivity
Redis connection errorVerify Redis is running and accessible
