Frequently asked questions
What authentication does Tableau use?
Tableau uses Personal Access Tokens (PATs). Generate one in My Account Settings > Personal Access Tokens. You'll need the token name and token secret.
Can I get dashboard data through the agent?
Yes. The get_view_data tool retrieves the underlying data of any view/dashboard in CSV or JSON format.
Does it work with both Tableau Cloud and Server?
Yes. Set your server URL to either your Tableau Cloud pod (e.g. https://10ay.online.tableau.com) or your on-premise server URL.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Tableau tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
