How to manage Dune query executions with your AI

Connect your AI to Dune Analytics to monitor your SQL workloads. You can track active runs and kill expensive queries before they drain your credits.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI stop running Dune queries?

Yes. Your AI can check the status of any active execution and cancel it immediately. This prevents long-running queries from wasting your credits. You'll see how the agent handles these tasks below.

The outcomes

Where your control lands.

Managing Dune workloads becomes a direct conversation with your agent.

MONITOR

Track active queries

Your AI checks the current state of your Dune executions. You'll know exactly which queries are still processing or have finished.

CONTROL

Kill runaway tasks

If a query is taking too long, tell your AI to stop it. It sends the signal to Dune to terminate the execution.

AUDIT

Review execution history

The AI looks at the status of past runs. This helps you identify patterns in query performance or credit usage.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

The AI handles the technical commands, but you decide which queries are worth stopping. You stay in control of all budget decisions.

The workflow

What your AI does when a query is running.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Dune API.

  1. Check status

    The AI looks up the current state of a specific execution to see if it is still processing.

    get_execution_status

  2. Identify issues

    The agent compares the status against your instructions to see if a query is stuck or over budget.

    get_execution_status

  3. Stop execution

    Once you confirm, the AI tells Dune to kill the specific query ID.

    cancel_execution

  4. Confirm completion

    The AI verifies that the cancellation was successful so you don't get billed for the full run.

    get_execution_status

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI write new SQL queries for me?

    No. This specific connector is for managing the execution and status of queries, not for writing or editing the SQL code itself.

  • 02

    Will the AI automatically stop queries to save money?

    No. The AI only stops a query when you explicitly tell it to. It won't make autonomous budget decisions without your input.

  • 03

    Can I use this to create new Dune dashboards?

    No. The available tools are limited to checking and canceling executions.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my private Dune data?

    The AI only accesses the specific execution data required to perform the status checks and cancellations you request.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete my saved queries?

    No. There is no tool provided to delete or modify saved queries in Dune.
