## About BigQuery with LuumenAI

Bring BigQuery 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 BigQuery?

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 BigQuery 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 BigQuery — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
