## About Metabase with LuumenAI

Connect Metabase and your team can ask about the analytics layer the way they ask about anything else. Which questions exist, what people looked at recently, which alerts are running, what a card returns when you run it now. Changes — a schema sync, a dashboard copy, a field values rescan — are previewed first and go through an approval step. Luumen authenticates with an API key.

## Example tools

Read-only (123 in total):

- `METABASE_CREATE_CARD_PIVOT_QUERY` — Run a pivot table query on a Metabase card (question).
- `METABASE_CREATE_CARD_QUERY1` — Run the query associated with a Card and return its results.
- `METABASE_CREATE_DASHBOARD_PIVOT_DASHCARD_CARD` — Run a pivot table query for a specific DashCard.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Metabase?

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

### Can LuumenAI change things in Metabase on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 17 actions classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

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