# Tableau integration for LuumenAI

- Plan: available on all plans

## About Tableau with LuumenAI

Ask about your Tableau site from the terminal and get an answer. List workbooks, views, projects, and published data sources, pull one workbook by LUID with its owner and tags, check active extract and refresh jobs, and review users and groups. Read-only, over one API key.

## Example tools

Read-only (10 in total):

- `TABLEAU_GET_CURRENT_SESSION` — Return the Tableau site and user identity established by the connected PAT, including their LUIDs and the user's current site role.
- `TABLEAU_GET_SERVER_INFO` — Return the connected Tableau deployment's product, build, and supported REST API versions.
- `TABLEAU_GET_WORKBOOK` — Return one Tableau workbook by LUID, including its project, owner, tags, views, and freshness settings when available.
- `TABLEAU_LIST_DATA_SOURCES` — List published data sources visible to the connected PAT on its signed-in Tableau site, with optional filtering and sorting, one page at a time.
- `TABLEAU_LIST_GROUPS` — List groups the connected PAT is permitted to see on its signed-in Tableau site, with optional filtering and sorting, one page at a time.
- `TABLEAU_LIST_JOBS` — List active asynchronous jobs the connected PAT is permitted to see on its signed-in Tableau site, optionally narrowed with a Tableau filter expression, one page at a time.
- `TABLEAU_LIST_PROJECTS` — List projects visible to the connected PAT on its signed-in Tableau site, with optional filtering and sorting, one page at a time.
- `TABLEAU_LIST_USERS` — List users the connected PAT is permitted to see on its signed-in Tableau site, with optional filtering and sorting, one page at a time.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Tableau?

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 Tableau on its own?

No. Every one of the 10 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from Tableau but cannot change anything in it.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Tableau is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
