## About Apache Airflow with LuumenAI

Bring Apache Airflow state into the investigation: schema, running queries, locks, and replication. Read-only queries show their SQL before running; kills, failovers, and maintenance are held for approval and audited.

## Example tools

Read-only (10 in total):

- `Describe schema & objects` — Tables, indexes, and jobs as context for the investigation.
- `Run read-only query` — Ask a question of the data with the SQL shown before it runs.
- `Inspect running queries & locks` — See what is slow or blocked right now.
- `List databases & tables` — What exists and how big it is.
- `Explain query` — The plan a query will use.
- `Get replication status` — Replica lag and health.
- `List jobs & schedules` — Pipelines and their next run.
- `Get job run logs` — Why a job succeeded or failed.

Write and destructive (6 in total, subject to configured approval policy):

- `Kill session or job` — Terminate a runaway session as an approved action.
- `Run maintenance` — Vacuum, reindex, or failover inside a reviewed runbook.
- `Rerun job` — Retry a failed run with the same inputs.
- `Pause schedule` — Stop a pipeline from running.
- `Grant or revoke access` — Change a grant as an approved action.
- `Create index` — Add an index inside a reviewed change.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Apache Airflow?

Authorize once with Service account. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Apache Airflow on its own?

For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Apache Airflow — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
