Tools

check_connectivity

ChatGPT

Ping tool to test connectivity and authentication. You can use this if other tool calls are failing to verify if the connection is working.

create_analysis_session

ChatGPT

Start an analytical session with the Analytics Agent. This is the first step in a three-step workflow: create a session, send a message, then poll for updates. Once created, you can use the returned analytical_session_id to send analytical questions via send_session_message and retrieve answers via get_session_updates. Sessions are conversational, so you can ask follow-up questions in the same session without creating a new one. Using a single analytical session is preferable, because it reuses the same data source selection.

create_dashboard

ChatGPT

Create a dashboard from a list of answers, allowing the user to revisit the results later. You can use this if the user asks for a dashboard or liveboard, or asks to save the results from the analysis. This can be a useful way to save the results to revisit later, or present them to other users.

get_session_updates

ChatGPT

Get the latest updates from the Analytics Agent. You can call this after send_session_message to retrieve the Agent's response. If is_done is false, you can call this tool again to continue polling, as the Agent is still generating a response. Even if is_done is false, you can use the updates to show status updates or progress to the user, so that they are informed about the ongoing process. An empty session_updates list while is_done is false is normal; it means the Agent is still thinking. When is_done is true, the Agent has finished and the results in session_updates are complete, so you can present them to the user. You can also send a follow-up message in the same session after is_done is true.

send_session_message

ChatGPT

Send a message to a session with the Analytics Agent. The Agent may take some time to think and generate a response, so the response will not be returned immediately. Instead, you can use the get_session_updates tool to query for the latest updates on the session. After the Agent finishes responding (when get_session_updates returns is_done: true), you can send another message to the same session to ask follow-up questions without creating a new session. Do not send a new message until the Agent has finished responding to the previous message (when get_session_updates returns is_done: true). If the user wants to create a dashboard, do not send a message with that request; instead use the create_dashboard tool.
